The cost of burning aircraft fuel is ultimately passed on to passengers, who may choose whether or not to take a plane. But what about the environmental costs of the CO2 and nitrogen dioxide (NOx) emissions generated through combustion at the high temperatures reached in aero-engines? These effect more than individuals going on holiday or travelling for work. Greenhouse gas emissions accelerate climate change and its devastating impacts.

They carry us around the world, but aircraft also burn significant quantities of fuel and emit pollutants wherever they go. EU-funded E-BREAK has developed more advanced and lighter aircraft engine components that can withstand higher temperature and pressure. Lighter aircraft propulsion systems are also lighter on the wallet due to lower fuel consumption - and their environmental impact is also lower.
