2
Savings in 2007 3.8 million tonnes CO2 (routes) 6.7 (Green Teams) On-going work Targets for 2008 6 million tonnes CO2 4 pillars Technology Economic Infrastructure Operations
3
Pillar 3 - Infrastructure and its Environmental Consequences
4
Services or Systems necessary for Air Traffic Services Infrastructure Communications Navigation Surveillance Air Traffic Management Separation Minimums Instrument Procedures Airport Development
5
Services or Systems necessary for Air Traffic Services Infrastructure Communications Navigation Surveillance Air Traffic Management Separation Minimums Instrument Procedures Airport Development Every element has a direct impact on fuel burn & CO2 emissions.
6
Optimum altitude
7
Reach optimum altitude ASAP
8
However, speed limits on climb out…
9
Significant savings if clean airspeed departure Clean Airspeed Departures About 200-1600 kg fuel savings
10
Maintain en route flight at optimum altitude
11
Optimum altitude varies according to weight Example: 12 hour flight
12
1,000 ft 2,000 ft Available Cruising Levels 33,000 ft 32,000 ft 31,000 ft 30,000 ft 29,000 ft 33,000 ft 32,000 ft 31,000 ft 30,000 ft 29,000 ft Conventional Vertical Separation Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) 4,000 ft 2,000 ft
13
Optimum Altitude Unavailable Next Available 4,000 ft lower 450 kg/hr penalty (B744) LIMITATIONS OF CONVENTIONAL CRUISING LEVELS Next Available 8,000 ft lower 1200 kg/hr penalty
14
Optimum Altitude Unavailable Next Available 2,000 ft lower 140 kg/hr penalty As opposed to 450kg/hr or 1200kg/hr penalty on conventional cruising levels RVSM SAVINGS Next Available 4,000 ft lower 450 kg/hr penalty
15
2006
16
2007 1.1 MIL tonnes CO 2
17
2008
18
Enhancing capacity / reducing emissions Procedural / time separation
19
Utilizing technology 1. Position broadcast by the aircraft (ADS-C) and Navigation accuracy 2. Direct controller / pilot communication (CPDLC) 3. Technology / available today
20
Reducing delays & optimum altitudes Equates to CO2 - reductions
21
Infrastructure enhancements
22
Goal: Continuous descent for arrival
23
Fuel Savings on Arrivals 10% less fuel 40% less noise Saves 50-200 kg fuel 150 - 640kg less CO2
24
A B 8200 nm 9100 Winds rule! Longer the flight - greater the daily variance for the optimum track
25
Eastbound: Dubai - Brisbane Example: 1000 kgs per month 100 minutes flying time ~1200nm abeam great circle track
26
Preferred route - 20May06 Distance (nm) Flight time 6897 14:13 Preferred route - 03Nov05 Distance (nm) Flight time 7069 14:50 Great Circle Distance between LAX & HKG - 6300nm 2700nm Westbound: Los Angeles - Hong Kong
28
Military Restricted Airspace
32
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
