Rolls-Royce and aviation industry must 'get to grips' with emissions or risk Tesla style disruption

  • The aviation sector's challenges with decarbonisation have been highlighted by broker Panmure Gordon in collaboration with Agency Partners, as while other industries are reducing greenhouse gas emissions, those from airlines are set to continue to grow and could face a government or regulatory crackdown.  Aviation accounts for around 3% of global CO2 emissions but could rise to over 20% by 2050, about a quarter of all human-caused emissions, due to growth in flight numbers.
