Implementing Operational Improvements: know how!

2022-04-27T16:45:29+02:00April 27th, 2022|Categories: Events|Tags: , |

The mitigation of aviation’s climate impact is a subject that enjoys increasing attention. The awareness about not only the CO2- but also the non-CO2 impact of aviation increases. Oftentimes, technological improvements are considered in the system change towards greener aviation. Nevertheless, these improvements require innovative research and are […]

Energy-efficient European Airports with ClimOP

2022-04-19T17:28:03+02:00April 19th, 2022|Categories: Events|Tags: , |

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 […]

Strategic airline network planning: considering climate impact

2022-04-19T16:05:54+02:00March 3rd, 2022|Categories: News|Tags: , |

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 […]

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 […]

Preparing for climate-optimized trajectories

2021-11-30T18:56:27+01:00November 10th, 2021|Categories: News|Tags: , , , |

Aviation climate effects of non-CO2 emissions depend on location and time of emission. In order to mitigate aviation’s climate effect, the mitigation strategy of climate-optimized trajectories aims to avoid flying through those regions of the atmosphere which are particularly sensitive to aviation emissions (e.g. regions where persistent contrails […]

Assessing the impact of an operational improvement on the air transportation network

2021-10-26T10:09:35+02:00October 6th, 2021|Categories: News|Tags: , , |

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 […]
