Boeing opens Japan sustainable aviation research centre
Boeing is opening a new Research and Technology centre in Japan.
The facility will focus on sustainability and support a newly expanded cooperation agreement with Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
Boeing and the Ministry broadened their 2019 Cooperation Agreement to now include a focus on sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), electric and hydrogen powertrain technologies, and future flight concepts.
That is in addition to exploring electric and hybrid-electric propulsion to enable new forms of urban mobility.
“The new center will expand upon Boeing-wide initiatives in sustainable fuels and electrification, and explore the intersection of digitization, automation and high-performance aerospace composites,” said Greg Hyslop, Boeing chief engineer.
The BR&T – Japan Research Centre will be located in Nagoya.
The facility will further expand Boeing’s research and development footprint in the region, which includes centres in Australia, China and Korea.
Boeing has been accepted as the latest member of ACT FOR SKY, a voluntary organization of 16 companies that works to commercialise, promote and expand the use of SAF produced in Japan.
It was founded by Boeing airline customers All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Japan Airlines (JAL).
Masahiro Aika, representative of ACT FOR SKY, said, “ACT FOR SKY welcomes the participation of Boeing. We look forward to Boeing collaborating with the other members for the promotion and expansion of SAF in Japan.”
Boeing Chief Sustainability Officer Chris Raymond added, “We must continue to partner with capable innovators and leaders to support the industry’s commitment to net zero carbon emissions by 2050.”
