EasyJet plans to curb their CO2 emissions by 35% by 2035

EasyJet plans to curb their CO2 emissions by 35% by 2035 and this has been validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative. In a launch event on Monday at easyJet’s Luton airport headquarters, its partner Rolls-Royce displayed a jet engine to be powered by hydrogen. The most significant imminent reduction, of about 15% of current emissions, would come through fleet replacement of conventional fuelled planes with hydrogen. EasyJet has ordered 168 more A320neos from Airbus, and the manufacturer will also retrofit the existing fleet with technology to optimise flight descent and fuel burn. Since 2000, over a 20-year period, EasyJet have reduced their carbon emissions per passenger, per kilometre, by one-third. EasyJet is to stop offsetting carbon emissions by its planes. Other elements of easyJet’s new strategy include using sustainable aviation fuel, more fuel-efficient planes and carbon capture to reach the target.
