Aviation Industry Commitment to Action on Climate Change
Aviation is responsibly reducing its environmental impact… but the industry must maintain their efforts
Effective instruments for public research and technology funding in aeronautics and related fields:
→ based on close cooperation between research and industry partners

Green Aviation Research and Development Network (GARDN)
GARDN is part of the Canadian Federal Program « Business-Led Network of Centres of Excellence » (BL-NCE) 25M$ budget on a 4 year program (2009-2013)
Objective:
Increase competitiveness of Canada Aerospace Industry through the reduction of its environmental footprint (7 research themes: Noise / Emission / LCA / Aircraft and Airport Operations / Materials & Manufacturing / Sustainable Fuels)
• GARDN brings together industrial partners, academia, research centres and governments (29 membres = 12 industrial members, 13 universities and 4 affiliate members)
• A 2 pillar strategy:– Funding of industrial R&D projects (15 R&D projects: TRL 3 to 7) – Focal point for reflection on environmental aviation in Canada

A good case study!
Distribution points
There are 161,768 gas stations in the
USA alone, but only 1,679 airports control
95% of the world’s passengers.
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.
Largest operating cost
Last year, airlines spent $140 billion on jet fuel, or 30% of operating costs.
In 2003, it was 14%.
Next steps:
