SectorsObjectiveImproved air traffic management techniques like to avoid flying holding patterns, “green landings” and the use of relatively low speed airplanes for domestic aviation can reduce the emission of greenhouse gases substantially. Depending on their penetration up to 3% CO2 emission reduction can be achieved for green landings and 10-60% CO2 emission reduction for low speed airplanes. Moreover, these techniques will lower the NOx and soot emissions, thereby improving the air quality around the airport.

This paper discusses various dimensions of the developing positive and negative interactions between the company focused EU emissions trading (ETS) and country focused global carbon trading and other relevant global institutions. Three main cases of interaction are analysed. The author considers the interaction between the Kyoto Protocol and the ETS as target. The opposite relationship is then examined. i.e. with the ETS as the source and the Kyoto Protocol institutions as targets.

Publication dateObjective
Aviation contributes to air pollution, noise and global warming. As demand for air travel rises, how should governments and the aviation industry respond to environmental concerns? Can aviation’s greenhouse gas emissions be reduced? What are the key challenges involved in making aviation sustainable?

From the energy, transport and water sectors, 103 organisations have provided reports under the Adaptation Reporting Power (ARP) to Defra. The reports demonstrate that these organisations are assessing their risks from climate change and in many cases are well-placed to mitigate them. Nearly all of the 103 organisations who reported can be clustered together into nine sectors: aviation; electricity distributors; electricity generators; electricity transmitters; gas transporters; ports and lighthouses; public bodies; road and rail; and water.

Background: Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is a technology used to convert algae biomass into “biocrude” oil a potential drop-in substance for petroleum. HTL eliminates land usage and provides a more complete biomass conversion than other methods. HTL produces an aqueous algae co-product (AqAl) which can contain residual carbon nitrogen and phosphorous that was initially present in the algae biomass. There is great interest in the development of methods to use these products for algae growth operations and thus recycle nutrients and enhance financial and material sustainability.

Background: In April 2010 contamination in jet fuel caused the throttles of two engines on a Cathay Pacific flight to stick while in flight and nearly caused the lives of 322 passengers and crew on board. Such incident is just one of the examples of the dangers posed by cross contamination in the fuel. FAME or biodiesel has the property to ‘stick’ to surfaces and small traces of FAME can be found in jet fuel leading to cross contamination. At high concentrations FAME may impact the thermal stability of the jet fuel leading to coke deposits in the fuel system.

Objective
The present invention is a system-level design that is based on the novel Co-Flow Jet (CFJ) airfoil design which provides an opportunity to manufacture a new generation of aircraft based on the CFJ airfoil design.
