CFM is a Leader in Environmental Protection

At CFM International, caring for the environment is printed in our DNA. When our first commercial engines entered service on the re-engined DC-8, we reduced that aircraft's CO2 emissions by more than 20%. And that was just the beginning.

As the number of CFM engines in service increased, aircraft emissions decreased. As the best-selling engine on single-aisle aircraft such as the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737, CFM engines continue to contribute to reducing overall airline emissions.

Today, just as at our inception, CFM is an industry leader in protecting the environment. We produced the first low NOx dual annular combustor, and are developing an ultramodern Twin Annular Pre Swirl (TAPS) combustor to further reduce NOx emissions by 60%.

Both CO2 and NOx emissions from our engines are lower today than ever and as we look forward, CFM researchers, with the full backing of our parents Snecma (SAFRAN Group) and GE, are studying ways to significantly reduce emissions even further.
