Decarbonizing the aviation industry
Traveling on a net zero commercial flight? It's now possible.
The aviation industry moves decisively towards decarbonization through the use of biofuels
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is committed to ensuring that aviation does not increase carbon emissions from 2020 on and achieves climate neutrality by 2050. Therefore, it's developing various initiatives, among which the use of different sustainable fuels, including biofuels and biofuels produced from waste, stands out for its considerable contribution to CO2 reduction.
Net zero emissions target by 2050
At Repsol, we aim to lead the energy transition, in line with the Paris Agreement, and thus limit the increase in global temperature to well below 2ºC. The drive for sustainable fuels is in addition to the projects that we have already deployed in energy efficiency, low-emission electricity generation, renewable hydrogen, circular economy, synthetic fuels, and carbon capture, use, and storage, and it's one of our main strategic drivers to achieve our goal of becoming a net zero emissions company by 2050.
We've had a circular economy strategy since 2018 that materializes in:
230+
focused on the circular economy
3
used as raw material in products as the annual utilization target
Strategic partnerships to achieve the decarbonization of the industry
In 2021, we are continuing to make progress in commercializing our sustainble biojet fuel for the aviation industry by partnering with groups as important as IAG, Iberia, and Vueling that have already completed flights using our net zero biojet in Spain.
