Clean Sky 2 Technologies for Greener Airports by 2050

Project description

Assessing environmental impact at and around airports of innovative aircraft technologies

The Clean Sky 2 Programme aims to make a substantial contribution to the ambitious EU goals for 2050 to reduce the environmental impact of aviation. The EU-funded GREENPORT2050 project will assess at the airport level the environmental impact of innovative technologies for fixed-wing aircraft developed in this programme. The project will address the impact of noise on the ground and populations exposed to noise, emissions and air quality, as well as individual and societal risk. GREENPORT2050 will implement and expand the concept of its predecessor project CLAIRPORT, comparing, for a representative set of European airports, the environmental performance of two scenarios: a scenario with a reference aircraft and the same scenario with a Clean Sky 2 concept aircraft.

Objective

GREENPORT2050 quantifies the environmental impact at airport level of technologies developed in Clean Sky 2 for fixed-wing aircraft. This impact includes noise on ground and population exposed to noise, emissions and air quality, and individual and societal risk. Quantifications are carried out up to 2050 for existing European airports and a generic airport. Relevant improvements in airport operations from SESAR/SESAR 2020 are taken into account.

GREENPORT2050 conveys target stakeholders’ impact through customised innovative communication means, such as a noise simulator enabling people to experience sound and visuals of an aircraft fly-over in a virtual reality environment, and an airport game addressing the link between air traffic volume and environmental impact using Clean Sky 2 aircraft versus reference aircraft.

GREENPORT2050 implements and expands the proven concept of the Clean Sky 2 TE project CLAIRPORT: 1) for communication it determines stakeholders who are impacted by its results; and 2) it sets the quantification process. This process compares, for each airport and timescale, the environmental performance of two scenarios: one is a flight schedule with reference aircraft and the other is the same flight schedule with Clean Sky 2 aircraft replacing their reference to assess the full potential of Clean Sky 2. In each case air traffic is realistically simulated and the simulation results are input to noise, emission, air quality and third-party risk models.

GREENPORT2050 expects to impact Clean Sky 2 TE (by complementing the other assessments), Clean Sky 2 JU and Clean Sky 2 Members (by monitoring Clean Sky 2 achievements), EC and EU Member States (by assessing the level of success towards the ACARE 2050 and Horizon 2020 goals); research community (by indicating opportunities for further research), and local community (by making Clean Sky 2 benefits tangible).

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
