Farnborough airport has committed to becoming net-zero across its controllable emissions by 2030 or sooner. 

The roadmap covers the reduction of emissions from buildings, the airfield and on-site operational vehicles

Through the launch of its new Roadmap to Net-Zero by 2030 – Where Will You Be? campaign, the airport will aim to achieve a 91% reduction in its controllable emissions.

As part of the launch, Farnborough will offer sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) – which can reduce lifecycle CO2 emissions by up to 80% – at the same price as standard jet A1 fuel for a trial period.

The roadmap covers the reduction of emissions from buildings, the airfield and on-site operational vehicles. By 2035, it has also committed to targeting a reduction of its controllable emissions and those it has partial influence over by more than 40%.
