Insights into Airbus's Energy Renewability
In 2024, Airbus consumed a total of 13.33 million Gigajoules of energy across its operations. Of this total, 29.33% was sourced from renewable energy, either derived from natural resources like biofuels, biomass, or biogas, or generated using renewable technologies such as solar or wind power. The remaining 70.67% was classified as non-renewable energy, coming from fossil-based fuels such as coal, natural gas, or crude oil, or from non-renewable generation technologies like nuclear power.
Airbus's Energy Renewability Rate
How much of Airbus's energy consumed is renewable?
In 2024, Airbus consumed a total of 13.33 million Gigajoules of energy, of which 29.33% was derived from renewable sources, including biofuels, biomass, biogas, solar, and wind power.
This moderate level of renewable energy adoption indicates that Airbus is transitioning toward cleaner energy sources, though a significant share of its energy mix still relies on non-renewable inputs.
Are Airbus's energy practices becoming more sustainable?
Since 2019, Airbus's total energy consumption decreased by 19.5%, yet rose by 1.59% in 2024, pointing to a potential reversal in recent energy-saving progress.
Over the same period, the share of renewable energy in Airbus's consumption increased by 609.53%, including a 27.37% increase in 2024, showing consistent progress in clean energy adoption.
Overall, Airbus’s energy trends reveal a complex picture, with variations in total consumption and renewable sourcing. A closer examination of operational drivers and sourcing strategies is needed to fully assess the company’s environmental impact.

- Cooling (Unspecified Source), Electricity (Unspecified Source), Heat (Unspecified Source) and Steam (Unspecified Source) (32.08%)
- Crude Oil and Petroleum (25.39%)
- Natural Gas (24.85%)
How diverse is Airbus’s energy consumption mix?
In 2024, Airbus consumed energy from 8 different sources or generation technologies, indicating a well-diversified energy mix without excessive reliance on a single input.
What are the main sources or generation technologies used by Airbus to produce energy?
In 2024, Airbus's energy production came primarily from
- Other Sources (100%)
How diverse is Airbus’s energy production mix?
In 2024, Airbus produced energy using 1 different sources or generation technologies. The energy production mix is highly concentrated, with Other Sources alone making up 100% of total output.

Insights into Airbus's Energy Inflows & Self-Sufficiency
In 2024, Airbus reported total energy inflows of 5.33 million Gigajoules, which corresponds to the company's full energy needs, including energy consumed, redistributed, sold, or stored. This energy inflow was composed of 4.28 million Gigajoules purchased from external suppliers and 1.05 million Gigajoules generated through internal production. This corresponds to a production share of 19.77%, reflecting a 1,966.05% percentage point increase from the previous year (2023) and a 1,976.05% percentage point increase since 2019.
These consistent increases, both year-over-year and over the longer term, suggest that Airbus is actively strengthening its energy autonomy. The company appears to be making deliberate, sustained investments in internal energy production, possibly to improve energy security, reduce reliance on volatile external markets, or support broader sustainability goals.
