Airports: Carbon Emissions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether it is her Department's policy for all airport operations in England to be zero emission by 2040.
Answered by Keir Mather
The Government is committed to delivering greener transport and supporting its missions to kickstart economic growth and make Britain a clean energy superpower. We are making great strides in transitioning to greener aviation, including work on sustainable aviation fuels, airspace modernisation, and low-emission technologies.
We are considering what role an airport decarbonisation target could play as part of our broader approach to decarbonising aviation. We will set out the next steps in due course.
