Industry Commitments – ATAG Source

•Targets

1. Improve fleet fuel efficiency by 1.5% annually from 2009 to 2020

2.Cap net CO2 emissions through carbon-neutral growth

3.Reduce net CO2 emissions by 50% below 2005 levels by 2050

•The four pillars

» Technology (incl. biofuels) » Operations » Infrastructure » Economic measures

Aviation CO2 emissions roadmap


4000 mT liquid fuel used annually globally (all transportation modes not just aviation)

Traffic growth of 4% between 2001 and 2008

Aviation

Fuel predictions

– 200 mT of fuel in 2010

– 450 – 550 mT predicted to be required by 2035

CO2 predictions

– 632 mT in 2010

– 1422 to 1738 mT predicted in 2035

Objective 3 Refineries

Cost 1.300 M€

Objective 6 Refineries

Cost 1.700 M€

9 Refineries

3.000 M€ total Cost

R&T Roadmap alignment started through EADS IW (TRL) – 10 Completed Templates

Workshop December 2011 (Brussels) European CAA for Alternative fuel

Workshop January 2012 (Brussels) Financial instruments (Member States)


Challenges ahead …………….

• Sustainability is key • Common sustainability standards • Robust LCA and application

• More Research needed • Innovative pathways and feedstock will be crucial to meet long-

term targets

• Government engagement • Through effective policy and incentives

• Commercialization • Deliver value chain projects • Facilitate timely, cost-effective supply

• Investment • Innovative financing • Growing local economies in various world locations • Joint ventures
