Rolls Royce and Shell set to tackle climate together
British engineering company Rolls-Royce is set to team up with oil company Shell in a major sustainability move
The two companies are set to work on the development of sustainable aviation fuel known as SAF in line with both their plans for net-zero emissions by 2050.
The pair signed a memorandum of understanding this week, which Rolls-Royce confirmed would help with plans to certify 100% SAF for use in planes.
In the aviation sector which is Rolls-Royce’s biggest business plans to make all of its commercial engines compatible to run on 100% SAF, which produces up to 70% less carbon than conventional fuel, by 2023.
The challenge for SAFs is that there is a shortage of supply, which the Shell partnership could help address.
Rolls-Royce Chief Technology Officer Paul Stein said in a statement that both companies wanted to decarbonise flying.
“We believe that working together on these aims can deliver benefits for both the development of new innovations as well as collaborating to find ways to unlock the net carbon emissions reduction potential of technology that is already in use today,”
Rolls-Royce engines are renowned for powering the A380 superjumbo, among other aircraft models such as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
