Clean Aviation’s Post

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.

🚀 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁 𝗯𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟯𝟱 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁! We’re excited to present our updated #SRIA, where the vision for the 2nd Phase of the Clean Aviation programme is outlined. This phase focuses on four cutting-edge aircraft concepts designed to revolutionise SMR, Regional and Hydrogen segments with a strong emphasis on sustainability.   ✈️With these innovations, we aim to reduce net-GHG emissions down to an average of 86% thanks to an improved efficiency of 30% from aircraft technological innovations at aircraft level and the use of SAF and Hydrogen. By 2030, we expect these technologies to reach #TRL6, paving the way for disruptive new products and services, ready for Entry in Service by 2035.   In the words of Rosalinde van der Vlies, Chair Clean Aviation, European Commission Director of Clean Planet, Directorate-General for Research and Innovation states: "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.

✈️ 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

The Clean Aviation Partnership is set to launch its third €380 million call for projects in February 2025, aiming to accelerate green #aviation #technologies. With €15 million allocated to a fast track for disruptive innovations led by #SMEs and academic partners, the initiative aims to simplify access to funding and support groundbreaking advancements in hybrid electric and #hydrogen-powered aircraft. 📌 Read more about it: https://lnkd.in/eHr5V7Ds

Decarbonisation of aviation is coming!

✈️ Driving the Future of Aviation with Innovation! The European Commission has published the "ERA Pilot Initiative on European Aviation Research & Technology Infrastructures Gaps Analysis"—a crucial step towards advancing the EU’s green, digital, and circular aviation industry. This initiative aims to identify the gaps in current aviation research infrastructures (like wind tunnels and engine test benches) and proposes a plan to modernise and build new facilities. The goal? To support the development of #disruptive #aviation #technologies, including #hydrogen-powered and electric propulsion systems, and accelerate the entry of new demonstrators into the market. By fostering collaboration and updating technology infrastructures, the EU is taking a significant step in transforming aviation towards a sustainable future. This is an exciting time for the industry as we move closer to a #greener, more #digital aviation sector!

"How can governments foster a climate of #innovation 💡 in sustainable aviation?" Our panelists and participants at this year’s #BerlinAviationSummit2024 identified 4 key aspects: 1️⃣ Governments must increase their support for #research and #development of new technologies – it is crucial for advancing sustainable aviation. 2️⃣ Governments are called upon to create a regulatory framework that incentivizes the early use and production of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (#SAF) without excessive bureaucracy. 3️⃣ Governments need to focus on building #infrastructure for SAF and hydrogen to support sustainable aviation. 4️⃣ Last but not least, governments should provide necessary #funds to build factories and facilitate the production of SAF.

Meet #GOLIAT: 1️⃣0️⃣ partners from 8️⃣ countries, working together for 4️⃣ years, at 3️⃣ European airports. Sounds big? – So is our target! 🎯  With the support of the EU’s Horizon Europe Framework Programme, we will demonstrate how technologies enabling the handling and refuelling of liquid #hydrogen can be developed and used safely and reliably for #airport operations.   These solutions are essential to taking hydrogen-powered aircraft to the skies and cutting CO2 emissions.   Our steps on the way? 📌Developing and demonstrating LH2 #refuelling technologies scaled-up for future large commercial aircraft 📌Demonstrating small-scale LH2 aircraft #ground_operations at airports 📌Developing the #standardisation and #certification framework for future LH2 operations 📌Assessing the sizing and #economics of the hydrogen value chains for airports   All these steps require #collaboration within and beyond the aviation industry. This is reflected by the GOLIAT - Horizon Europe project partners, which represent academia, airport operators and leading hydrogen-industry companies.   We are proud to be working with H2FLY 🇩🇪, Chart Industries, Inc., Delft University of Technology 🇳🇱, Leibniz Universität Hannover 🇩🇪, Rotterdam The Hague Airport 🇳🇱, Stuttgart Airport 🇩🇪, Royal Schiphol Group 🇳🇱, Budapest Airport 🇭🇺, and VINCI 🇫🇷, supported by EU Science, Research and Innovation 🇪🇺. Together, we can pave the runway for the widespread daily use of liquid hydrogen at airports!   #HorizonEU Airbus
