Project description
On course to reduce aircraft emissions
More and more efforts are being made worldwide to reduce CO2 emissions and mitigate their impact on the environment. Aircraft are the greatest and growing emissions source within the transportation sector. As such, the sector must find new ways to reverse this trend. With this in mind, the EU-funded REIVON project’s goal is to analyse and identify potentials for global reduction of emissions through the most effective adjustment of aircraft size and range and the flight network. To achieve this, REIVON will apply the best integrated, multidisciplinary expert-based approach and make use of different databases and several state-of-the-art models and tools. The effects of the analysis will be published in scientific reports.
Objective
The main objective of REIVON is to investigate to what extent the CO2 emissions of global aviation can be reduced via an optimisation of aircraft size/range and flight network.
The project will first identify the theoretical potentials for reducing CO2 emissions via optimised aircraft, network and frequency reductions. Hereby, three alternatives for an optimised global air transport system will be considered:
1) splitting long-haul flights into shorter legs;
2) reducing frequencies to the necessary minimum; and
3) a combination of 1 and 2.
Moreover, REIVON will assess the impacts on stakeholders of an optimised global air transport system (ATS) and will analyse potential measures to establish such a system with optimised aircraft, network and frequency reductions. REIVON will make use of an integrated approach involving experts from multiple disciplines, including aircraft design and performance, airline fleet and network optimisation, aircraft emissions modelling, air traffic demand modelling as well as impact assessment on local and global level. The analytical steps are carried out in four technical work packages, and a fifth work package is involved with management. REIVON will use various databases and a range of state-of-the-art models and tools to support the analysis. The findings of REIVON will be documented in a number of scientific reports.
