MTU’s technology agenda was launched in response to global climate goals and the need to reduce aviation’s climate impact. It elaborates potential solutions at the aero engine level. In the past, aviation industry targets focused exclusively on CO2 emissions. In the future, the climate impact of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions and contrails will also play a role. Together, these effects make up the climate impact of aviation.
