A Comprehensive Strategy to Lower Aviation CO2 and non-CO2 Emissions

To achieve the environmental sustainability goals decided by the European Union through FlightPath 2050, EU-funded ClimOP has researched which aspects of aviation operations can be implemented to reduce the climate impact of the aeronautic industry. Specifically, ClimOP has designed eight Operational Improvements that, if implemented, are meant to reduce CO2 and NOx emissions generated from the aviation sector.

The ClimOP Operational Improvements take into consideration aviation as a whole: in its analysis, ClimOP considered not only aircrafts and inflight operations, but also ground operations, airport infrastructure and air traffic management. Thus, the team addressed in a well-rounded and comprehensive way how to improve the industry’s sustainability and climate impact.
