In a landmark initiative, Ryanair provided seed funding to enable Trinity College Dublin to establish Ireland’s first research centre dedicated to sustainable aviation.

This financial investment has leveraged a €1m research platform from AMBER. AMBER is a Science Foundation Ireland-funded Research Centre in Materials and BioEngineering that brings together Ireland’s leading material science researchers with industry, led by Trinity College.

The research platform will support a further five researchers on foundational science directly pertinent to the challenge of sustainable aviation; in power-to-SAF, biomass to biofuels, hydrogen fuel cell technology and advanced gas turbine combustion.
