Bombardier claims first for revealing environmental impacts BOMBARDIER is claiming to be the first business jet manufacturer to reveal the environmental impact of its portfolio, after providing public access to the footprint of all in-production aircraft. The manufacturer’s Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are a key part of its strategy to contribute to a more sustainable aerospace industry, delivered a year ahead of schedule, it said. “Challenger 650 aircraft joins Bombardier’s Challenger 3500, Global 5500, Global 6500 and Global 7500 aircraft as the only business jets in the world to carry an EPD,” according to Bombardier. The declarations enable the company and its partners to mitigate the environmental footprint of their products, it said. Used as a reference guide, the EPDs can help to target improvement areas over the short- or medium-terms. Environmental details on display include: aircraft CO2 emissions generated at each step of the value chain from raw material extraction until aircraft end-of-life. But the initiative is not designed to deliver direct commercial advantage. “The role of EPDs is not to stamp our aircraft as more sustainable than others, rather to take ownership of the environmental impact they generate,” said Jean-Christophe Gallagher, executive vice president, Aircraft Sales & Bombardier Defense, Bombardier. Environmental reports can be consulted like any other specification document, he added. “The same way we provide factual information about the unmatched width of the Challenger 650 aircraft’s cabin in its category or its leading dispatch reliability, Bombardier [now] publicly provides factual information on the environmental impact of its business jets.” Read more via the link. tinyurl.com/yznvrjs8 #sustainableaviation #aviation #businessjets #privatejets #aviationindustry

BOMBARDIER sets a new industry standard by becoming the first business jet manufacturer to publicly disclose the environmental footprint of its entire in-production aircraft portfolio. Through Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), Bombardier takes proactive steps towards a more sustainable aerospace industry, a year ahead of schedule. Among its fleet, the Challenger 650 aircraft now joins the Challenger 3500, Global 5500, Global 6500, and Global 7500 aircraft as the only business jets worldwide with EPDs. These declarations empower Bombardier and its partners to understand and mitigate the environmental impact of their products, reinforcing the company's commitment to sustainability. Jean-Christophe Gallagher, Executive Vice President of Aircraft Sales & Bombardier Defense, emphasizes that EPDs aim not to tout superiority but to transparently own up to environmental impact. These reports, akin to standard specification documents, offer factual insights into aircraft environmental footprints, including CO2 emissions across the entire value chain. Moreover, Bombardier sees EPDs as catalysts for continuous improvement, providing a roadmap to enhance environmental performance. This initiative underscores Bombardier's dedication to innovation and sustainability, initiated during the development of its Global 7500 aircraft, the first business jet to receive third-party verified EPDs in 2020. With EPDs for the Challenger 3500, Global 5500, and Global 6500 aircraft preceding, Bombardier's latest disclosure for the Challenger 650 jet further solidifies its commitment to environmental responsibility and transparency. For a deeper dive into Bombardier's groundbreaking initiative and its impact on shaping a more sustainable aerospace industry, read the full article on our blog. #AvfoilNews #Bombardier #EnvironmentalSustainability #BusinessAviation #AerospaceIndustry #Transparency #EPDs #AviationInnovation #AvfoilBlog

Is sustainable aviation fuel set to take flight? The world’s first transatlantic flight using 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) took off from London’s Heathrow airport and landed in New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport in November last year. Some airlines have launched services with the option of selecting a supplementary Sustainable Aviation Fuel Package presenting travellers with the option to choose 0-100% SAF – all for an extra cost. Would you buy this service? What is SAF? SAF is the collective term for jet fuel produced from sustainable feedstocks, which can be defined as Biofuel, Renewable Fuels of Non-biological Origin (RFNBO), such as e-fuel, or Recycled Carbon Fuels (RCF). SAF can be integrated into the current design of aircraft jet turbines, making it a “drop-in” fuel. Additionally, SAF is projected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% or more throughout its life cycle, as compared to conventional jet fuel. These properties make SAF a vital component in the energy transition of the aviation industry, with sustainable-based fuels contributing a significant proportion of the fuel mix in the short-to-medium term. #sustainable #aviation #fuel #SAF #GHG #CCS

🍃 (1) Washington Clean Fuel Standard (WA CFS) 🍃 Proposed Changes to WA CFS Rulemaking   This year, the first round of public meetings for WA CFS rulemaking was held on February 22 and February 28. This rulemaking may consider the following changes to strengthen or streamline the Clean Fuel Standard program:   • Update the deadline at which WA CFS must accept sustainable aviation fuel pathways for Clean Fuel Standard credit generation from Oct. 1, 2024, to Dec. 31, 2023. • Establish requirements for a third-party verification program for fuel pathway applications and data reports submitted by market participants. • Update requirements to further encourage the production of low carbon intensity sustainable aviation fuels. • Amend or refine the compliance and enforcement process for the Clean Fuel Standard. • Update book-and-claim accounting requirements for electricity and biomethane. • Align the rule with Oregon and/or California low carbon or clean fuel program requirements. • Update the rule language to improve clarity and readability and others. Therefore, the third-party verification under the WA CFS program will be implemented soon. Additionally, the requirement for sustainable aviation fuel will be considered in the WA CFS. #LCFS #CFS #SAF

Government urged to hold aviation industry accountable for emissions reductions The Environmental Audit Committee has urged the Government to hold the aviation industry accountable for its proposed emissions reductions, as it publishes the Government’s response to its report on net zero aviation. The Government’s plans for delivering net zero aviation are set out in the Jet Zero Strategy, published in 2022. In this plan, the Government expects technological measures, like increasing fuel efficiency and the adoption of sustainable aviation fuels, to reduce emissions significantly each year. To maintain this ambition, in its report the Committee called on the Government rigorously to monitor the industry’s progress, and to reassess its approach if system efficiencies alone fail to meet the 2050 net zero trajectory.

#SAF #Book&Claim In order to decarbonize aviation it is important to upscale production and use of SAF and for that purpose a trusted and widely used book-and-claim system is needed. For further information on the subject , please read the article my colleague Sarah Haas and myself have written, which will be published in the first issue of the Journal of Air Law and Commerce in 2024 and has been pre-published on SSRN, available for download under https://lnkd.in/dv2W9tH7

The Environmental Audit Committee has published the Government’s response to its report on net zero aviation today. There are some positives to point to, for example the commitment to research aviation’s non-CO2 emissions, but there remains a lack of urgency in the government's response to decarbonising aviation. In the government's response to the committee they use the dreaded phrase "at the earliest opportunity" in regard to legislating for the inclusion of International Aviation and Shipping emissions in the Sixth Carbon Budget - which more than likely translates as leaving it to the next government to deal with. The government also ignore the recommendation to bring forward a full review of the Jet Zero Strategy to 2025, which IPPR have also called for. There is no fair transition for transport in the UK without bolder action to reduce emissions from aviation and the next government will need to be ready to have a grown-up debate with the public about the best approach to cutting emissions from flights in the short term. #aviation #transport #climate https://lnkd.in/e4yVv5rn
