Trinity Partnership Announcement

Ryanair is working hard to reduce its environmental impact and become carbon neutral by 2050 while leading aviation sustainability on its Pathway to Net Zero.

Ryanair understands that aviation plays a pivotal role in tackling climate change and its Pathway to Net Zero will help reduce CO2 emissions and impact on the environment. The company continues to work tirelessly with its team and strategic partners to lead the way in making aviation more sustainable, and was delighted to be upgraded to a ‘B’ rating by the CDP this year, recognising Ryanair’s commitment to reducing its environmental impact.

Ryanair’s Pathway to Net Zero emissions by 2050 aligns with the Paris Agreement and the aviation industry’s Destination 2050 initiative. Ryanair’s pathway shows that decarbonisation and alignment with EU climate targets is possible. This strategy outlines four core strategic pillars to achieve net carbon zero by 2050: 34 per cent decarbonisation through the increased use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF); 32 per cent decarbonisation through technological and operational improvements; 24 per cent decarbonisation through offsetting and other economic measures; and 10 per cent decarbonisation through the introduction of better Air Traffic Management.

One third of decarbonisation is to come from the increased use of SAF and to accomplish this Ryanair is working

closely with the EU and fuel suppliers to accelerate the supply. Ryanair continues to invest in new technology and purchased 210 Boeing 737-8200 ‘Gamechanger’ aircraft—which carry 4 per cent more passengers, are 16 per cent more fuel and CO2 efficient and lower noise emissions by 40 per cent.

Ryanair believes that aviation must play a leading role in addressing climate change and is placing an increased emphasis on mitigating how its business impacts the environment. To date, Ryanair customers have contributed over €3.5m to these environmental projects.
