LONDON, June 17 (Reuters) - Britain's Rolls-Royce,
which makes engines for planes and ships, outlined plans to head
towards a net zero emissions by 2050 by ensuring its aero
engines can run on sustainable aviation fuels and decarbonising
new products.
Rolls-Royce said on Thursday that its new products would be
compatible with net zero targets by 2030, and that the whole
business would achieve net zero by 2050 at the latest.
In the aviation sector, its biggest business, it plans to
make all its engines proven to be compatible to operate with
100% sustainable aviation fuels, which produces less carbon than
jet fuel, by 2023.
