IAG was the first airline group in the world to commit to net zero emissions and has been publishing its latest roadmap to this goal every year since 2019.
IAG invests in innovation to meet its targets, drive decarbonisation and accelerate wider change towards a more sustainable industry.
IAG roadmap to net zero
Pillars of our carbon roadmap
New generation aircraft consume between 15-40% less fuel than their predecessors.
IAG is supporting the implementation of fuel efficiency initiatives across its all network.
€12 billion investment for new aircraft from 2023-2030.
178 new efficient aircraft.
SAF reduces carbon emissions on a greenhouse gas lifecycle basis, typically by 80% or more compared with the fossil jet fuels it replaces.
As of 31 December 2023, our total investment in SAF reached $1 billion, of which 86% is future commitments, based on assumed energy prices.
Target of 10% of SAF by 2030
Carbon removal solutions extract CO₂ already in the atmosphere and store it in biological or geological ways.
From 2050, IAG will only use carbon removal to mitigate any residual emissions from its operations.
IAG airlines have participated in market-based measures since 2012, when the EU Emissions Trading System was extended to aviation. IAG airlines are participants of the EU, UK and Swiss ETS schemes; and support the global CORSIA scheme to limit net emissions from aviation.
