Project description
Reducing aviation emissions for a greener industry
Recent global disasters have highlighted the perils of climate change. The aviation industry is intricately linked to this issue due to its substantial greenhouse gas emissions, which lead to increasingly devastating extreme weather events that in turn significantly impact the industry itself. The EU-funded AEROPLANE project has a mission to create an innovative toolkit that can mitigate emissions associated with aviation while also equipping the aviation sector to respond effectively to rapid weather and climate shifts. The project will leverage insights from various researchers specialising in aviation emissions and their impacts, developing fresh approaches to both the mitigation of and adaptation to climate change in terms of reducing vulnerability to weather-related phenomena.
Objective
The interconnection between Aviation and climate is very tight. On the one hand, air traffic contributes to greenhouse gas emissions that alter the composition of the atmosphere globally, hence driving Climate Change. On the other hand, atmospheric processes significantly impact the whole chain of Aviation: changes in temperature affect infrastructure and aircraft performance, variable wind and precipitation patterns increase delays and cancellations, etc. In recent years, researchers put a strong effort in investigating the impact of Aviation on climate and ways to mitigate it. Putting these knowledge advancements into practice requires further development of the climate impact assessment methodology towards the deployment and implementation phases. In addition to these efforts, new adaptation measures are necessary to make the aviation sector less vulnerable to the unavoidable changes in climate conditions which we are already experiencing, such as heatwaves and other highly-impactful weather phenomena.
Objectives: The project aims at developing a toolset for reducing the aviation impact on climate and to enhance the sectors resilience to climate change. The idea is to advance the knowledge and operationalize the monitoring on the impact of aviation on climate, and, concurrently, to assess the resilience of the aviation sector to the exacerbation of extreme events due to climate change.
