Decarbonisation
Fuel optimisation, SAF, Direct Air Carbon Capture
We offer solutions on your route to decarbonisation
Decarbonisation is the greatest challenge – and the greatest opportunity – facing the aviation industry today. The industry has set some ambitious targets: Net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Fuel efficiency solutions
All of our fuel-efficiency solutions are cost-effective and easy to install.
Sharklet Upgrades: A retrofit available for many A320ceo Family aircraft which can deliver fuel savings of 4% and more with a resultant decrease in CO2 emissions.
Descent Profile Optimisation (DPO): Software upgrade that saves 75 kg of fuel (A320ceo Family) or 140 kg (A330ceo) per descent.
Single Engine Taxi Without APU (SETWA): Upgrade to allow taxiing on only one engine that saves 91 tons of fuel (A320ceo Family) per aircraft, per year.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) can play a crucial role in aiding airlines on their decarbonization journey by offering a viable alternative to conventional jet fuels. Airbus Services offers:
Up to 80% lifecycle emissions reduction compared to conventional fuel.
Up to 50% SAF blend use already possible on all Airbus aircraft.
100% SAF capability for commercial aircraft by 2030.
Carbon removal solution
Airbus Carbon Capture Offer: Is a complementary solution to address the residual emissions remaining from aircraft already operating with the latest technologies. The CO₂ is directly captured from the air, then injected into and permanently stored in saline formations, deep beneath the earth's surface.
