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.

The paper industry is an important sector in Portuguese and Spanish industry and in the economies of both countries. Portugal and Spain are large paper and pulp producers in the European Union. The Commission has proposed a new EU target for 2030 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% compared to 1990 levels. This means accelerating the reduction of emissions in the paper industry, as well as in others related to waste circularity and water saving.

The Energy Transition Chair of the Repsol Foundation at Comillas ICAI is organizing this webinar, in which this major challenge facing the paper industry will be presented, as well as the main strategies that are being implemented, along with some solutions under development.
