Project description
Flying high for aviation decarbonisation
Today’s aviation community – from the airport and airlines to ground handling services – is facing the challenge of environmental transition. Guided by the ambitions of the European Green Deal in ensuring that transport (including air transport) makes an important contribution to climate neutrality by 2050, the EU-funded OLGA project is part of the bigger plan for aviation decarbonisation. The consortium, consisting of airports, airlines, ground handlers, industry, research bodies and SMEs, will integrate sustainable aviation fuels supply chains in conventional jet fuel infrastructure and demonstrate complementary types of low-emission mobilities, electric ground support equipment, hydrogen infrastructure and reduced carbon airside operations. OLGA expects to achieve significant quantified advances in the first 3 years.
Objective
Our world is facing unprecedented environmental challenges. Keeping the global temperature rise below 1.5°C implies a mandatory drop in CO2 emissions. Against this backdrop, the EC has issued the European Green Deal: an ambitious plan towards a fully sustainable economy, including aviation. With one million species endangered, biodiversity restoration is another key issue. Once aviation has recovered from the COVID pandemic effects, global air traffic as a major enabler of connectivity and economic growth will resume and keep increasing. This emphasizes the challenge of reducing the environmental impact of the air transportation sector as a whole.
OLGA partners (airports, airline, handler, industry, research, SMEs) unite a wealth of expertise to contribute to solving this complex challenge: efficient and carbon neutral airport and airline operations, sustainable logistics, smart energy & mobility, intermodality for passengers and freight, emission/air quality assessments, green construction and circular end-of-life solutions.
Sustainable Aviation Fuels supply chains will be integrated in conventional jet fuel infrastructure. Complementary types of low-emission mobilities, electric ground support equipment, hydrogen infrastructure and reduced carbon airside operations will be demonstrated.
OLGA will achieve significant quantified advances already within the first three years, ready for exploitation by partners. This will lead to proven CO2 reduction, air quality improvement and biodiversity preservation with involvement of the entire sector's value chain. Sustainable impacts will be realised on societal, environmental and economic levels at local, national and EU scale.
OLGA will have a duration of 60 months, requesting a 25 MEuros grant.
OLGA's airports are uniquely positioned to showcase the environmental innovations, while the airports of Zagreb and Cluj will prove scalability and EU-wide applicability.
