British engineering company Rolls-Royce has announced its partnership with oil company Shell. The aim of the partnership is to work towards the development of sustainable aviation fuel, in line with plans for net zero emissions by 2050.

 

Rolls-Royce‘s biggest business today remains aviation. The group plans to make all of its commercial engines compatible to run on 100% SAF, producing up to 70% less carbon than conventional fuel.

 

In a statement, Rolls-Royce’s chief technology officer, Paul Stein, said the two companies want to decarbonize flying.

 

 

To ensure that goal is met, the company said it would increase its research and development spending on low-carbon technologies to 75 percent of its total budget by 2025, up from about 50 percent currently.

 

We believe that working together on these goals can offer benefits both in developing new innovations and in finding ways to unlock the net carbon emissions reduction potential of technology that is already in use,” he added.

 

In the longer term, Rolls-Royce is also working on hybrid, electric or hydrogen options that are less carbon intensive. “We are currently discussing hydrogen with Airbus,” said Paul Stein.
