The one place that Co2 emissions reduction is not talked about as much is with airplanes, but the Air-bus E
Fan may be taking steps to change that. This plane was developed by Airbus Group-led European program; the E-Fan and demonstrator were explicitly designed for electric power at the time, a
world's first. The 2.0 version is a two-seater for pilot
training, and the 4.0 version is a four-seater for licensed pilots. The planes could replace the modern-day puddle jumper Cessna's. The pros
of the electric airplane are reducing CO2 emissions by 75% per kilometer per passenger. The electric aircraft is also projected to reduce NOx
emissions by 90% and reduce noise by 65%. Finding a solution to air travel is essential to reversing the carbon emissions caused by transportation. Planes have yet to go through any steps in reducing emissions, and this is the first I have seen in an honest attempt to develop a commercially viable solution in the plane industry. Airbus has come out with a new fuel motor this year that is 15% more efficient
than other conventional motors. And Airbus also practices sustainable business
policies in their Whales facility, Broughton. They feature biomass and
gas-fired boilers, photostatic panels, solar water heaters, and rain
harvesters to reduce their environmental impact. This kind of sustainable innovation and practice is an example of what more businesses must actively move toward to increase the quality of life for future generations.
