Global aviation and its emissions contribute to anthropogenic impact on climate. Carbon dioxide (CO2) has a long-term effect on climate over several decades, with the consequence that the CO2 greenhouse effect is independent of daytime, altitude and weather situation. Unlike non-CO2 emission’s climate impact, CO2 […]
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 […]
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 […]
