Everything for Zero
To ensure the benefits of aerospace remain available for generations to come, we have work to do. We’ve made great strides since the beginning of the jet age, but our greatest accomplishments are yet to come. We believe the future of flight will take “everything for zero.” Boeing's strategies for decarbonization are:
Fleet Renewal
New airplanes provide significant efficiency gains — each generation reduces fuel use and emissions 15-25%.
Operational Efficiency
The industry continues to collaborate on how to operate and fly more efficiently, which can reduce emissions by about 8% (source: Eurocontrol).
Renewable Energy Transition
Renewable energy can help reduce the lifecycle impacts to climate change of energy carriers such as SAF, green hydrogen or batteries. We know it will take a ‘SAF and’ approach and not a ‘SAF or’ approach to achieving net-zero by 2050.
Advanced Technology
The future of flight will incorporate the latest digital design, test, and production tools, airframe, propulsion and systems technology, and different power and energy solutions will apply to different market segments and aircraft sizes.
Hear Boeing’s Chief Sustainability Officer, Chris Raymond and Chief Engineer of Sustainability and Future Mobility, Brian Yutko discuss the Future of Flight and why it will take “everything for zero” and all of us working together on renewable energy sources like sustainable aviation fuels, hydrogen and batteries, intersecting with new airplane technologies to usher in a new era of aerospace.
