Japan’s Airline ANA to Become Carbon Neutral by 2050

Japan’s biggest airline ANA aims to become carbon neutral by 2050 through new technology, emissions trading and other efforts. Japan would target a 46 per cent cut in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, significantly more than previously pledged. Plans to reduce carbon emission levels from aircraft operations to net zero by 2050″ by using more sustainable fuel, developing more efficient planes and engines, and through carbon trading.

The company set a target to halve carbon emissions by 2050 compared with 2005 levels. Such initiatives are not new among airlines, with the industry body for America’s leading carriers pledging to work towards net-zero emissions by 2050, and British Airways eyeing greener jet fuel. Japanese car giant Honda also said last week it would aim to have electric and fuel cell vehicles account for all sales by 2040 to promote climate goals.
