The U.K. government announced on Tuesday up to £43 million in funding for green aviation research and development projects aimed at supporting the country’s goal of achieving net-zero aviation emissions by 2050.
The funding, announced by the Department for Transport, will be available to businesses, universities and research organizations across the U.K. through competitive bids expected to open in February. According to the department, the projects are intended to support work on zero-emission aircraft, sustainable aviation fuels and methods to reduce the climate impacts of flight.
