Committed to Net Zero Carbon by 2025

Driving Scalable Sustainability Solutions in Commercial Aerospace

Boom’s comprehensive sustainability efforts include mobilizing our value chain, collaborating with stakeholders across the global travel ecosystem, and leading advocacy to set new standards for travel.

Decarbonizing Aviation

Future-forward on SAF

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is the most promising solution for decarbonizing aviation, which is responsible for 2-3% of global CO2 emissions.

SAF is an immediately available “drop-in fuel,” used without changing existing aircraft and infrastructure. It’s made from renewable feedstocks, like algae, waste oils, or forest residue—and even through recycling carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere through direct air capture.

As a sustainable substitute for jet fuel, emerging SAF technologies can achieve truly net zero carbon operation.

Boom’s sustainability strategy is centered on leveraging and accelerating SAF solutions. Overture will be optimized to run on 100% SAF. Overture’s flight test program will be powered by AIR COMPANY’s AIRMADE™ SAF and Dimensional Energy.

Achieving Net Zero Carbon

Our roadmap to net zero carbon by 2025 and net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 begins with measurement — accurate, detailed emissions tracking — and reporting on our impact.

Measure

We strive to be an industry leader in acting on ambitious carbon reduction targets with transparent progress reporting.

Reduce

We prioritize emissions reductions in all stages of build, design and flight — from renewable energy-powered manufacturing to optimizing Overture for 100% SAF.

Offset

We commit to using only quality carbon credits for unavoidable emissions. Our portfolio balances carbon avoidance offsets in the near-term with carbon removal solutions for the long-term — leveraging only removals to achieve net zero carbon by 2025.  

2022 Sustainability Report

Boom’s 2022 report details the actions we’ve taken benchmarked against our 2021 report goals, moving us toward our commitment to net zero carbon by 2025.

Collaborations

Working with environmentally-forward organizations to accelerate a net zero carbon future.

AIR COMPANY

Advancing our net zero commitments, Boom will purchase up to five million gallons of AIRMADE™ SAF on an annual basis over the duration of the Overture flight test program.

Dimensional Energy

Dimensional will provide up to five million gallons of SAF annually, produced through Power-to-Liquid technology, for the duration of the Overture test flight program.

Driving Systemic Change

Proactive action to ensure a future of sustainable travel.

Charting the Path to Regenerative Travel

The Sustainable Travel Forum unites leaders and experts from travel, aviation, and mobility sectors under a collective mission: to build the future of sustainable travel, through action, advocacy, and innovation.

Net Good Summit

In 2024, Boom will host global sustainability thought leaders from more than 50 companies to accelerate the path to net zero travel. The 3rd Annual Summit will focus on three themes critical to creating systemic change in sustainable travel: enabling the exponential growth of sustainable technologies, integrating sustainability across the travel journey, and engaging and educating the traveler.
