Logistics UK welcomes green flying plans

[ July 26, 2024   //   ]

Logistics UK has welcomed the government announcement of over £100 million of funding for research and development into greener aviation. Senior policy manager, Alexandra Herdman, said: “Logistics UK welcomes the additional financial support announced by the government to develop leading-edge green aerospace projects as the sector continues on its journey to net zero. The aviation sector is notoriously hard to decarbonise and investment in innovative technology will help reduce the amount of carbon offsetting as well as carbon capture and storage that is expected to be required to meet the 2050 target.

“Coupled with the UK government’s commitment to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) through the new SAF revenue support mechanism) Bill, this investment into innovation for aerospace is a clear sign that the government is serious about accelerating the transition to net zero aviation.”
