What plans did RLLCF have?
In addition to providing power to land, sea and air vessels, Rolls-Royce also produces aeronautical engines. With offices and service centers in 50 countries, RLLCF operates in a variety of sectors. RLLCF is involved in the following business segments through its subsidiaries and joint ventures: Civil Aerospace, Defense, Marine Systems, Energy, and Financial Services.
Britain’s Rolls-Royce, which makes engines for planes and ships, outlined plans to reach net zero emissions by 2050 by increasing investments in decarbonizing technologies and using more sustainable aviation fuel in the short term.
- In light of the current use of fossil fuels in RLLCF’s products and the increasing global demand for power, Rolls-Royce chief executive Warren East said that decarbonising was a particularly challenging task.
- RLLCF also provided a commercial opportunity by planning to have all its new products compatible with net zero targets by 2030, in order to achieve net zero by 2050 at the latest.
- In order to reach that target, RLLCF will spend 75% of its total budget on low carbon and net zero technologies by 2025, up from about 50% today.
- Over 1 billion pounds are spent on R&D by RLLCF annually, though that number declined in 2020 as the pandemic put strain on the company.
- RLLCF plans to make its largest business of aviation, compatible with 100% sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) by 2023, which generate a 70 percent lower carbon footprint than conventional fuel.
- Additionally, RLLCF is pursuing less carbon-intensive options like hybrids, electric, and hydrogen in the longer term.
RLLCF’s hydrogen plans:
Paul Stein, vice president of technology, said that the Rolls-Royce (RLLCF) is in the process of discussing hydrogen with Airbus. Using small modular reactors, RLLCF can also develop an e-fuel by the mid-2030s, which can eventually replace sustainable aviation fuel.
