The Clean Sky 2 TRANSCEND (Technology Review of Alternative and Novel Sources of Clean Energy with Next-generation Drivetrains) Coordination and Support Action identifies what alternative energy sources for aviation and novel aircraft propulsion can contribute to mitigating climate change and achieving the environmental goals for 2050. In addition roadmaps and strategic recommendations for alternative energy sources and novel propulsion towards 2050 have been developed to ensure that the potential contributions become reality.
