ICAO Symposium on Aviation and Climate Change, “Destination Green”, 14 – 16 May 2013 Destination Green Commercial Issues/How Aviation Can Drive Alternative Fuels The Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative ® Coalition Approach Presented by: Nancy N. Young VP-Environment, Airlines for America (A4A)

CAAFI Is a Coalition of Coalitions: Bringing Interested Parties Together ICAO Symposium on Aviation and Climate Change, "Destination Green", ICAO Headquarters, Montréal, Canada, 14 - 16 May 2013 2 4 Sponsors; 300 Global Stakeholders; 180 Organizations 20 Airlines, Military, Airport orgs. 30 U.S. Government Offices 15 U.S. States / Universities 15 Aircraft, Engine, Subsystem OEM’s 19 Countries / 5 Continents 54 fuel producers
3
How CAAFI Works: Leveraging Efforts of Interested Parties Four Teams Aimed at Addressing Key Questions to Get Sustainable Alternative Aviation Fuel to Commercially Viable Deployment Certification/Qualification (jet fuel specs & qualifications) Research and Development (suitable fuels/feedstocks) Environment (confirming methods, tools) Business & Economics (finance/commercial terms) ICAO Symposium on Aviation and Climate Change, "Destination Green", ICAO Headquarters, Montréal, Canada, 14 - 16 May 2013 3

What We Need to Get to Commercially Viable Deployment ICAO Symposium on Aviation and Climate Change, "Destination Green", ICAO Headquarters, Montréal, Canada, 14 - 16 May 2013 4 1 ) Safety/Suitable Fuels –This is addressed through (a)The jet fuel specification; and (b)Application of procedures to assure fuel quality is maintained 2) Environmental Benefit –This is being addressed through (a)Lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions; and (b)Sustainability review 3) Commercial Viability – in addition to Safety & Environmental Benefit … –Need cost competitiveness & –Supply reliability We now know how to do this Need confirmed methods and regulatory and contract acceptance These pose the highest hurdles at this stage

Confirming Environmental Benefit: Critical for Meeting Our Targets ICAO Symposium on Aviation and Climate Change, "Destination Green", ICAO Headquarters, Montréal, Canada, 14 - 16 May 2013 6 Ongoing Fleet Renewal / Technology Development ATC/NextGen/Operational Improvements Low Carbon Fuels (lifecycle basis) Forecasted Emissions Growth Absent Reduction Measures Baseline CO 2 Emissions 2050 Carbon Neutral Growth and Reduction Timeline Technology, Fuels, Operations & Infrastructure - Potential Role for Carbon Credits to Bridge Potential role for carbon credits

CAAFI Environment Team: Advancing Methods and Tools Greenhouse Gas Emissions Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) Key guidance Case studies Included jet fuel pathways into ANL Greet Model Currently working on a project to compare GHG LCA results from different models/tools U.S. EPA-RFS2 EU Renewable Energy Directive – BioGrace GREET ICAO Symposium on Aviation and Climate Change, "Destination Green", ICAO Headquarters, Montréal, Canada, 14 - 16 May 2013 7 For now, accepted country-based tools are fine; but eventually will need mutual recognition for proper crediting of environmental benefit (alternative fuel for international flights)
8
CAAFI Environment Team: Methods & Tools (continued) Sustainability - (Draft) “Impact Matrix” and Guidance Identifies areas of concern – key environmental indicators Identifies relevant metrics for reflecting potential impact Overview of existing regulatory and voluntary sustainability regimes “Impact Matrix” sets out sustainability impact issues across the aviation alternative fuel supply chain Environmental Progression Puts “environmental readiness” on a scale with feedstock readiness and fuel readiness ICAO Symposium on Aviation and Climate Change, "Destination Green", ICAO Headquarters, Montréal, Canada, 14 - 16 May 2013 8
9
Meeting the Challenge of Cost Competitiveness & Supply Reliability What Is Needed Consistent energy/biofuels policy from governments Alternative fuels development, incentive and deployment programs must include aviation (not just ground-based fuels) Public-private partnerships to scale up supply and prove commercial supply chains Proper crediting of environmental benefit with fuel purchases (book & claim accounting) Market signals from fuel purchasers ICAO Symposium on Aviation and Climate Change, "Destination Green", ICAO Headquarters, Montréal, Canada, 14 - 16 May 2013 9

A Quick CAAFI Case Study Using Public-Private Coalitions to Marshal Resources CAAFI - alliances with Brazil, Germany, EU, Australia, etc. A4A “Strategic Alliance” with the U.S. Military FAA – CLEEN program research & development Farm to Fly with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Boeing (and other partners) – just extended through 2018 Primary focus on linking feedstock supply chain with fuel production and end users; leverage agricultural programs U.S. Department of Agriculture, Department of Energy and Navy initiative to stand up supply chains with industry U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) credit available for aviation fuels Airlines Sending Market Signals – pre-purchase agreements ICAO Symposium on Aviation and Climate Change, "Destination Green", ICAO Headquarters, Montréal, Canada, 14 - 16 May 2013 10
