Boeing Co. on Friday said it was targeting 2030 as the year its
commercial airplanes will be capable and certified to fly on 100%
sustainable aviation fuels.
Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and Chief Executive Stan
Deal said, "Our industry and customers are committed to addressing
climate change, and sustainable aviation fuels are the safest and
most measurable solution to reduce aviation carbon emissions in the
coming decades.
"We're committed to working with regulators, engine companies
and other key stakeholders to ensure our airplanes and eventually
our industry can fly entirely on sustainable jet fuels," he
added.
Boeing said it has previously conducted successful test flights
replacing petroleum jet fuel with 100% sustainable fuels. The
company also said sustainable aviation fuels can be made from
non-edible plants, agricultural and forestry waste, non-recyclable
household waste and other sources.
Boeing Chief Sustainability Officer Chris Raymond said,
"Sustainable aviation fuels are proven, used every day, and have
the most immediate and greatest potential to reduce carbon
emissions in the near and long term when we work together as an
industry."
