Centro de Documentación de Fundación MAPFRE - Alternative fuels for sustainable aviation : energy and infrastructure

Publication: Montreal : Atkins de SNC-Lavalin , 2023Physical description: 18 p.Notes: Sumario: What the results of this paper show is the massive amount of sustainable energy and fuel production infrastructure required to support a Net Zero carbon aviation sector which continues to forecast growth of around 5% per year. An alternative approach to relying purely on technological innovation is to limit the demand for flying, which is also recommended by the UK Climate Change Committee (Climate Change Committee, 2022). It would be incumbent on governments to do this, and, if required, a fair and balanced global approach would be essential. The most effective solution to drive the decarbonisation of aviation will be a mix of all the alternative fuel options, the combination of which will change over time. Integrated, system-of-systems planning is vitally important to achieve the transition; planning the wider aviation ecosystem must take into account future energy projections, while national governments are key stakeholders and enablers who may provide the up-front investment to enable the necessary changesThis includes: Aviation emissions are hard to abate...but not impossible -- Increasing aviation traffic and CO2 Emissions -- What is the solution? -- What if we consider the energy generation demand? -- Scenarios and sensitivity -- Implications of this level of flight energy demand Conclusion- References and Further ReadingMateria / lugar / evento: Industria de la aviación Emisiones de CO2 Efecto invernadero Infraestructuras Innovación Tecnología Sostenibilidad Transición energética Combustibles renovables Descarbonización Contaminación atmosférica Transporte aéreo Otros autores: Atkins
