A good case study! Around 10% of fuel Total transport fuel use in 2008 was over 2 billion tonnes. Of that, commercial aviation used 215 million tonnes of Jet A-1. 2% of emissions Last year, aviation emitted 649 million tonnes of CO2 from a global total of 34 billion tonnes. Distribution points There are 161,768 gas stations in the USA alone, but only 1,679 airports control 95% of the world’s passengers. Largest operating cost Last year, airlines spent $140 billion on jet fuel, or 30% of operating costs. In 2003, it was 14%.
Next steps: Establish global sustainability criteria Provide incentives Understand local opportunities De-risk investments Support supply chain collaboration Foster research
More fundingfrom the Government of Canada • Canada-China Science & Technology Agreement • More projectswith Europe • More projectswith CRIAQ • Agreement with ATAG (Air Transport Action Group) • GARDN 2ndAnnualConferencenextfall 2012 • … … more to come
