Every element has a direct impact on fuel burn & CO2 emissions.
Optimum altitude
Reach optimum altitude ASAP
However, speed limits on climb out…
Significant savings if clean airspeed departure
Clean Airspeed Departures
About 200-1600 kg fuel savings
Maintain en route flight at optimum altitude
Optimum altitude varies according to weight
Example: 12 hour flight

Enhancing capacity / reducing emissions
Procedural / time separation
Utilizing technology
1. Position broadcast by the aircraft (ADS-C) and Navigation accuracy
2. Direct controller / pilot communication (CPDLC)
3. Technology / available today
Reducing delays & optimum altitudes
Equates to CO2 - reductions
Infrastructure enhancements
Goal: Continuous descent for arrival
Fuel Savings on Arrivals
10% less fuel 40% less noise Saves 50-200 kg fuel
150 - 640kg less CO2

Winds rule! Longer the flight - greater the daily variance for the optimum track

Conclusion Infrastructure ATM enhancement is critical
Technology on aircraft Reduced reliance on ground systems
Airlines investing: Reduce emissions Plan for ASPAC (based on ICAO GPIs) Accelerate progress from States
APEC Working together to address issues Common goal Critical role
