Rolls-Royce Publishes Ambitious Net-zero Carbon Manifesto
The UK aircraft engines group has committed to achieve specific goals to eliminate carbon from its products and its entire business operation.

Aircraft engine makers like Rolls-Royce know full well they are in the front lines in responding to growing pressure to achieve net-zero carbon levels in aviation. Acknowledging that they are widely seen as part of aviation’s environmental impact problem, they are being increasingly more visible in signaling their intent to be part of the solution.

Rolls-Royce has just published a manifesto to explain how it will contribute to what it characterizes as a net-zero economy. The document spells out an ambitious plan not only for the UK-based group to deliver greener propulsion systems for aircraft through 2030 but also for its entire business operation to be compatible with net-zero goals by 2050.
