Etihad to fly green for COP28 in the UAE

Annually the travel arrangement for the UN climate summit proves slightly embarrassing because of the jets that deliver delegates to a conference seeking to shrink the world’s carbon footprint.

Next year, COP28 will be held in Dubai, UAE and things may look slightly different, or rather, greener.

Under a memorandum of understanding to be signed at the UN climate summit on Thursday, Etihad Airways PJSC and US biodiesel producer World Energy are committing to effectively decarbonise some air travel by powering aircraft flying out of Los Angeles International Airport with biobased sustainable aviation fuel made at a nearby World Energy plant.
