Philippine Government in talks with Airbus for carbon removal initiative

In the Philippines, Philippine News Agency reported that negotiations between the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and Airbus are underway for a potential collaboration on carbon removal initiative.

“President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has obtained a commitment from giant aerospace company Airbus to work with the Department of Transportation on the use of modern technologies for biofuels and the extraction of carbon energy from the country’s landfills for eventual use in the aviation sector,” said Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Secretary Cheloy Garafil.

Garafil also said that Airbus is part of the DOTr’s working group in charge of preparing a roadmap for sustainable aviation fuel use in the country.

Airbus is currently in touch with the DOTr working group to identify possible sources of fuels with high-density populations, according to the report.
