Emirates will identify partnerships with leading organisations working on advanced fuel and energy technologies.

Sir Tim Clark, President Emirates, said: “We are ring-fencing US$200 million to invest in advanced fuel and energy solutions,”

“This is where airlines face the biggest impediment reducing our environmental impact.”

An airline Environmental Sustainability Executive Steering Group will oversee funding, with support from technical experts.
