How to make the aviation sector less polluting? France launches a plan for cleaner planes. “We have the means to be the champions of ultra-low-energy aircraft and to produce it in France […] by accelerating investments in the sector“, assured Emmanuel Macron, Friday, June 16. With 300 million euros per year, by 2030, the State will triple its effort for the development of more fuel-efficient engines and lighter aircraft.
The development of biofuels
The other challenge is the development of sustainable fuels. 200 million euros are planned. The objective is to produce 500,000 tons per year in 2030. To do this, a factory will be created at Lacq (Pyrenees-Atlantiques). Made from waste oil or wood or algae residues, clean fuels are used to complement kerosene in aircraft. However, production is now limited. These fuels are also two to three times more Dear. We are still far from the plane without kerosene for flights for the general public, but we can already see electric planes in the sky, such as a two-seater used for pilot training.
