Clean Aviation 2021 Highlights Report builds momentum for climate-neutral aviation

Clean Aviation’s (formerly Clean Sky 2, Brussels, Belgium) put on a two-day forum, “Re-imagining Europe’s path to climate-neutrality: Clean Aviation takes off,” from March 22-23, 2022, to discuss its current research and the ambitions of the new Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking, as well as to paint picture of how the future of aviation will look as the industry seeks to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. The event brought together European industry leaders, research centers, SMEs and universities, as well as representatives of the European Commission, the Parliament and the Member States.

Clean Aviation was launched in Dec. 2021 alongside eight other public-private partnerships in order to bring together public and private resources to support innovations and research for the EU. More importantly, Clean Aviation will develop and demonstrate technologies which will reduce greenhouse emissions by at least 30% versus current state-of-the-art regional and short-medium range aircraft with a targeted entry-into-service in 2035.
