Rolls-Royce and Air BP have struck a deal to cut carbon emissions during gas turbine engine tests at three sites, including Derby and Bristol.
The engineering giant has its civil aerospace division at Sinfin, where it designs, develops and builds aero engines. It said the deal with the specialised aviation division of British BP supports its sustainability commitments.
It will see aviation fuel supplied for engine testing at Rolls-Royce facilities in Derby, Bristol, and Dahlewitz, in Germany, made up of a 10 per cent Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) blend.
