Transport is responsible for up to 28.5% of CO2 emissions in the European Union. In this segment, aviation contributes to 13% of those emissions.

To meet the decarbonisation targets for this sector and align with the Paris Agreement, it is crucial to understand the pillars of decarbonization and to quantify the reduction of emission throughout the lifecycle of aircrafts. Energy efficiency and fuels with low or zero carbon footprint are fundamental, whether for general, commercial or military aviation.

The Energy Transition Chair of the Repsol Foundation at the Polytechnic University of Madrid is organising this webinar together with Ryanair and IATA to discuss these challenges and explore innovative solutions that can accelerate the decarbonisation of air transport, contributing to a more sustainable aviation.
