The primary purpose of the ClimOP is to develop mitigation strategies for sustainable aviation. Several operational improvements are proposed to reduce the climate impact of aviation. Some of these improvements also have a direct impact on the flight schedules. When assessing the climate impact of these improvements, it […]
Aviation is part of a strong European and global economy, with the aeroplane providing a fast and convenient mode of transport. The number of passengers transported by aircraft has more than doubled between 2005 and 2019 and, after recovery from COVID, has a prospect of growth by a […]
The aviation sector is often seen as a major source of environmental issues such as air pollution, noise pollution, and climate change. In 2005 the share of aviation-related climate change including non-CO2 emission was estimated at 5% of the total impact on greenhouse gases. Since that, the aviation […]
In the next decades, various sectors will play a major role in accelerating climate change. With this article we dug deeper into aviation operations and their effect on global warming, starting from the question: “What is aviation’s impact on the climate, and can something effectively be done about […]
Speaking of airports, the environmental performances of apron operations are as important as the energy performance of the entire airport system. This is because the path to reduce emissions impacts many aspects of airport management, not least those related to the heating and cooling of the airport’s environments, […]
Climate change is already happening, and every action matters. On the one hand, it is fundamental to reduce the impact of Aviation on climate. On the other hand, it is crucial to ensure that the actions to mitigate the Aviation impact on climate are effective in a changing climate. […]
The German Aerospace Center (DLR) is the research organization of the Federal Republic of Germany for aeronautics, space, energy and transport with an additional focus on security and digitalization. More than 50 institutes all over the country develop, investigate and assess innovative and sustainable solutions, such as novel […]
The Aerospace Research Center (ITU ARC) is a research centre of the Istanbul Technical University aiming to reduce the climate impact of aviation. In 2006, ITU ARC founded the Controls and Avionics Research Group, a team of researchers that focus on topics such as:
NLR is the Royal Netherlands Aerospace Centre, a leading international research centre for aerospace, joined ClimOP to develop a greener aviation. Bolstered by its multidisciplinary expertise and unrivalled research facilities, NLR provides innovative and integral solutions for the complex challenges in the aerospace sector. This expertise covers innovation […]
The ClimOP project aims at identifying and supporting the implementation of operational improvements (OIs) to reduce the climate impact of the aviation sector. To this end, the stakeholder engagement helps define a suitable set of actions and advice to foster the application of the […]
