Aviation is among the industries that invest the most to lower emissions produced at all levels. Several changes that may reshape the way passengers travel are studied to meet a net zero European Union by 2050.
The ClimOP project has analysed a set of operational […]
Sustainable aviation requires a collective effort to change actual operations with newer and most-efficient ones. The ClimOP Consortium knows it well. That’s why we have always strived to build synergies with projects with the same purpose: reducing aviation’s climate impact!
Throughout the years, ClimOP invested develop synergies with its sister projects […]
We are thrilled to announce that one of our colleagues has been invited to present his study at the EGU General Assembly 2022. In the session “Dynamics and chemistry of the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS)”, room 0.11/12 on Tuesday, 24 May 2022, in the […]
One possibility to reduce the climate impact of aviation is the avoidance of climate-sensitive regions, which is synonymous with climate-optimised flight planning. Those regions can be identified by algorithmic functions for nitrogen oxides (NOx), water vapour (H2O) as well as contrail cirrus, which provide a measure of climate effects associated […]
ClimOP recently hosted a workshop to demonstrate how to build more energy-efficient European airports. Over the past few months, the European project aiming to contribute to greener aviation has assessed the impact three operational improvements have on aviation stakeholders and the climate. The ClimOP Consortium considered three measures to reduce […]
Climate change is an urgent topic in all agendas around the world as its consequences become more and more evident to everyone’s eyes. Raising temperatures, longer frost-free seasons and changes in precipitation patterns are the symptoms of an illness the world is facing due to greenhouses gases produced by […]
One of our research interests within ClimOp is to investigate the potential of combining strategic network planning and climate optimized trajectories in mitigating aviation’s climate impact from both CO2 and non-CO2 effects.
Strategic network planning is based on multiple decisions according to allocating fleet to routes that eventually form the entire […]
Last week, the ClimOP partners Deep Blue and Amigo held a training course on Climate Services to help the Italian Critical Infrastructure adapt and become more resilient to climate emergencies. According to the US Government, critical infrastructures are those organizations “whose assets, systems, and […]
Airports are well-known high energy consumers. As a consequence, each year, the top five European airports emit together more CO2 than the whole of Sweden. But, if we see the glass as half full, airports are also great potential energy savers. The good news is that Europe’s leading airports have […]
Yesterday, the ClimOP Consortium gathered in the amazing city of Rome for the first time after a long time of online meetings. The encounter aimed to discuss and align all the analyses made by the partners on the different operational improvements. All partners presented how they assessed the […]
