Additional objectives of the Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking

1. In addition to the objectives set out in Articles 4 and 5, the Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking shall have the following general objectives:

(a) to contribute to reducing the ecological footprint of aviation by accelerating the development of climate neutral aviation technologies for earliest possible deployment, therefore significantly contributing to the achievement of the general goals of the European Green Deal, in particular in relation to the Union-wide net greenhouse gas emissions reduction target of at least 55 % by 2030, compared to 1990 levels, and to a pathway towards reaching climate neutrality at the latest by 2050;

(b) to ensure that aeronautics-related research and innovation activities, with particular focus on breakthrough technology initiatives, contribute to the global sustainable competitiveness of the Union aviation industry, and to ensure that climate-neutral aviation technologies meet the relevant aviation safety and security requirements, and that aviation remains a secure, reliable, cost-effective and efficient means of passenger and freight transportation;

(c) to advance the European aviation research and innovation capacity.

2. The Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking shall also have the following specific objectives:

(a) to integrate and demonstrate disruptive aircraft technological innovations able to decrease net emissions of greenhouse gases by no less than 30 % by 2030, compared to 2020 state-of-the-art technology, while paving the ground towards climate-neutral aviation by 2050;

(b) to ensure that the technological and the potential industrial readiness of innovations can support the launch of disruptive new products and services by 2035, with the aim of replacing 75 % of the operating fleet by 2050 and developing an innovative, reliable, safe and cost-effective European aviation system that is able to meet the objective of climate neutrality at the latest by 2050;

(c) to expand and foster integration of the climate-neutral aviation research and innovations value chains, including academia, research organisations, industry and SMEs, also by benefiting from exploiting synergies with other national and European related programmes and by supporting the uptake of industry-related skills across the value chain.
