International Civil Aviation Organization Colloquium on Environmental Aspects of Aviation Aircraft Emissions - The Way Forward Willard Dodds, Chairman ICCAIA Noise and Emissions Committee Montreal, 9-11 April 2001
2
Elements of ICAO CAEP Approach Terms of Reference –Technical Feasibility - Safety –Environmental Benefit –Economic Reasonableness Environmental Balance/Tradeoffs –Noise –Climate Change –Local Air Quality Program Balance –Source Reductions (Technology) –Operational Measures (Airlines and ATC) –Market Based Measures Unique ICAO Resources Address Complex Issues
3
Emission Issues Issue Key Species Mitigation Climate Change- Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 )- Fuel Efficiency - Water Vapor- Operational Measures - NOx- Combustor Design Local Air Quality - NOx - Combustor Design - Carbon Monoxide (CO)- Operational - Unburned Hydrocarbon (HC) Measures - Smoke/Soot
4
Continuous emissions reductions ICAO Data Bank provides current emissions certification data Required design/test margins ensure that certificated product emissions are below ICAO limits Local Air Quality Ref: The Boeing Company
5
Continuous fuel efficiency improvements driven by market forces Market based measures are being considered by ICAO –Long term - open emissions trading –Near term - voluntary programs Climate Change 70% Fuel Efficiency Improvement over 40 Years
6
CO 2 /NOx Trade Higher engine pressure ratio and bypass ratio reduce CO 2 /improve fuel efficiency (SFC) and facilitate noise reduction 0102030405060 SFC SFC (lb/lb-hr, or EI NOx) Overall Pressure Ratio
7
CO 2 /NOx Trade Higher engine pressure ratio and bypass ratio reduce CO 2 /improve fuel efficiency (SFC) and facilitate noise reduction Higher pressure ratio requires higher flame temperature, increasing NOx formation rate 0102030405060 NO X SFC SFC (lb/lb-hr, or EI NOx) Overall Pressure Ratio
8
CO 2 /NOx Trade Higher engine pressure ratio and bypass ratio reduce CO 2 /improve fuel efficiency (SFC) and facilitate noise reduction Higher pressure ratio requires higher flame temperature, increasing NOx formation rate Better NOx technology needed to avoid increased emissions 0102030405060 NO X SFC SFC (lb/lb-hr, or EI NOx) Overall Pressure Ratio
9
Continuous technology improvement has substantially reduced all emissions from modern engines Government and industry emissions reduction technology programs are underway Barriers to wider introduction of these technologies: –high development and certification investment with low production volume –durability, operability, reliability & production cost risks –environmental tradeoffs –unclear policy objectives –unrealistic short term technology expectations ICAO WG 3 Long Term Goals Group is addressing technology transition issues Emissions Technology Outlook
10
Emissions Technology Expectations 17 ICCAIA - Working Group 3 Papers prepared for CAEP/5 Papers support IPCC Special Report projection of 20% improvement in fuel efficiency between 1997 and 2015 NOx reduction technology is progressing faster than the IPCC scenario for NOx emissions 30-50% below CAEP/2 limits by 2020 Concerns relative to the rate of future progress due to –uncertain research funding –environmental and technological tradeoffs/priorities –increasing challenge to improve on current technology
11
Summary and Conclusions ICAO is uniquely qualified to set aviation environmental standards –Brings together resources to balance complex trade-offs –Avoids proliferation of confusing, inconsistent and counterproductive local rules –Globally harmonized approach for a global industry Manufacturers continually work to improve emissions technologies –Need consistent and consolidated scientific basis for valid trade-off analyses –Aircraft emissions reduction efforts should be part of a balanced program including improved operational factors –Successful long term research requires continuous support and consistent goals CAEP/6 Work Program has proper elements to move forward on local air quality and climate
