In Ireland, Ryanair announced the extension of its partnership with Trinity College Dublin (TCD) out to the end of the decade as the airline made a further $2.7 million donation to fund the Ryanair Sustainable Aviation Research Center. Research at the Ryanair Sustainable Aviation Research Center started in September 2021 addressing the complex challenge of progressing sustainable aviation. With Ryanair’s new funding, the research team will continue to focus on SAF and zero carbon aircraft propulsion systems as well as expanding the scope of the research to examine aviation’s non-CO2 emissions. Over the past three years, the Ryanair Sustainable Aviation Research Center has made significant research developments in the following core areas: examining the sustainability of different SAF types, reducing the cost to certify new SAF candidates and evaluating the operating impact of zero carbon aircraft propulsion and noise mapping.
