✈️ Aviation is often seen as a "hard-to-abate" sector— meaning that it is not easy to decarbonise. This is mainly due to the massive amounts of energy required to get tonnes and tonnes worth of aircraft into the air. But decarbonising aviation isn't impossible! Why? Because all players in the sector are determined to get there and are turning words into concrete actions.🌍 A4E, alongside ACI EUROPE, CANSO, Aerospace, Security and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD), and the European Regions Airline Association, has set out a roadmap containing measures to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050 through the Destination 2050 Alliance. This week, we also called on policymakers to include aviation in the Clean Industrial Deal. This will be an important early priority for the next European Commission—and essential for aviation's green transition. You can find out more details in the comments. 🚀 You can also check out one of our latest videos, where A4E’s Communications Director Kevin Hiney explains how policymakers can help accelerate aviation's decarbonisation journey by including it in the Clean Industrial Deal 🎥 #Sustainability #NetZero2050 #FlyingForOurFuture

Decarbonisation of aviation is coming!

🇪🇺 The Place of Aeronautics in the Von der Leyen II Commission ✈️ We are excited to announce a keynote address by Filip Cornelis on the role of aeronautics within the Von der Leyen II Commission. This address will explore the intersection of aviation policy with the broader goals of the European Commission, particularly under the leadership of the new Commissioner for Transport and Tourism, Apostolos Tzitzikostas, and the Commissioner for Startups and Innovation, Ekaterina Zaharieva. Key Topics: How will the EU's transport sector enhance its competitiveness while adhering to green and digital transitions? What are the implications of the proposed sustainable transport investment plan and the EU industrial action plan for the automotive sector? The potential impact of high-speed rail and digital booking systems on short-haul aviation. The role of electric planes in the future of sustainable transport. The interplay between aviation and EU policies for startups and innovation. 📌 Speaker: Filip Cornelis, European Commission This keynote will be moderated by Dr Barry Humphreys. 💡 Don't miss this opportunity to gain insights into the future of aeronautics within the European Commission's strategic framework! 🔗 Register now to secure your spot at the conference: https://lnkd.in/gQbF5jyk #EAC2024 #Aviation #Innovation #EU #Transport #Sustainability #Policy

We need to go beyond research – and into implementation as quickly as possible when it comes to technologies for #sustainable #aviation! 🔬🛫   This was the consensus at today‘s Berlin Aviation Summit.   We are looking back on a day of interesting keynotes and exiting discussions about the future of aerospace. „Discussions“ is relative, as the industry is united in the conviction that we need to implement technologies to reduce – and finally eliminate - carbon emissions as soon as possible! ⏭️⏭️   We thank all speakers, organizers and guests – beginning with our parter Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V., our supporters European Commission Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz, Bundesministerium für Digitales und Verkehr, as well as our organizing partner Deutsche Gesellschaft für Luft- und Raumfahrt - Lilienthal-Oberth e.V. (DGLR).   See you at ILA Berlin - Pioneering Aerospace starting tomorrow!   #PioneeringSustainableAviation

In April 2023, the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) welcomed the launch of Sustainable Aviation's (SA) updated Net Zero Carbon Road-Map. This outlined how UK aviation can continue to grow while still meeting the sector's 2050 Net Zero commitments. A follow-up Technical Report released in June provides further rationale, assumptions and data utilised to compile the Road-Map. This report not only explains the depth of evidence behind this publication but also raises the importance of long-term investment in next-generation flight technology. ATI Head of Technology – Sustainability and Strategy, Adam Morton noted how this sector endorsement reflects the essential role of UK, home-grown aircraft technologies alongside better fuels, improved aircraft operations and deployment of carbon removal. 📔 Read the Sustainable Aviation Technical Report here: https://lnkd.in/eAc6vu6N #sustainability #netzero #netzerocarbon #aviation #aerospace

Thank you EPICO KlimaInnovation for the invitation to take part in yesterday’s panel discussion on the role of #hydrogen in the #aviation sector. Your recent paper provides a timely state of play of where we stand and highlighted the need to: - Increase R&D funding - Provide incentives for the development of the Hydrogen market, - Develop the necessary related infrastructures at the european level. However, as mentioned during the weblive a global solution is needed at International Civil Aviation Organization on standards and #Corsia. Thank you to Hildegard Bentele and Jane Amilhat for the very engaging discussion that allowed us to emphasize the importance of the role of the policy makers in the decarbonisation journey and the urgency for Europe to accelerate. #SAF and #Hydrogen are fundamental parts of Airbus, #IATA, #ATAG and #ICAO’s global, integrated aviation decarbonisation roadmaps. #Airbus is contributing to a decarbonisation roadmap that is aligned with the objectives of the #EU Clean Industrial Deal to meet the industry’s target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, while contributing to the EU’s industrial competitiveness at the same time. Given the scale of the challenge and the potential benefits, all hands are needed on deck to support the decarbonisation of aviation, a European public good!

If you are in the aerospace industry or aerospace students, and wondering what is the next step in the EU for aero, it is highly recommended that you go through the document indeed.

Decarbonising aviation in Europe relies significantly on investments in research and innovation, as well as strong coordinated approach at EU, national and regional level. This updated Clean Aviation Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda should serve as a compass for both the public and private sector in Europe, guiding the development of future disruptive aircraft technologies. It is an important piece of the puzzle to support the sustainable competitiveness of the EU aviation industry.

Rising global prosperity means more passenger and commercial flights, but at a significant cost to the environment. Swiss firm H55 hopes that its battery-powered electric aircraft will help bring about a sustainable future for aviation. Co-founders André Borschberg and Gregory Blatt, and CEO Martin Larose share how they are doing it. ➡️ Watch the video and read the article: https://ow.ly/J0Cs30sHFBH #FutureInsights
