  1. Aero-Montreal Innovation Forum 2011December 6th, 2011Sylvain CofskyExecutiveDirector

  2. Aviation Industry Commitment to Action on Climate Change Aviation is responsibly reducing its environmental impact… but the industry must maintain their efforts Effective instruments for public research and technology funding in aeronautics and related fields: →based on close cooperation between research and industry partners

  3. Airlines Airports ANSPs Manufacturers Collaborative Research Projects Network

  4. Canada Aerospace Strategy Goals & Requirements Global, industry-wide commitments and goals Canadian commitment Canadian Roadmap to achieve goals Part of the Canadian Action Plan

  5. Green Aviation Research and Development Network (GARDN) GARDN is part of the Canadian Federal Program « Business-Led Network of Centres of Excellence » (BL-NCE) 25M$ budget on a 4 year program (2009-2013) Objective: Increase competitiveness of Canada Aerospace Industry through the reduction of itsenvironmentalfootprint(7 research themes: Noise / Emission / LCA / Aircraft and Airport Operations / Materials & Manufacturing / Sustainable Fuels) GARDN bringstogetherindustrialpartners, academia, research centres and governments(29 membres = 12 industrialmembers, 13 universities and 4 affiliatemembers) A 2 pillar strategy: Funding of industrial R&D projects (15 R&D projects: TRL 3 to 7) Focal point for reflection on environmental aviation in Canada

  24. A good case study! Around 10% of fuel Total transport fuel use in 2008 was over 2 billion tonnes. Of that, commercial aviation used 215 million tonnes of Jet A-1. 2% of emissions Last year, aviation emitted 649 million tonnes of CO2 from a global total of 34 billion tonnes. Distribution points There are 161,768 gas stations in the USA alone, but only 1,679 airports control 95% of the world’s passengers. Largest operating cost Last year, airlines spent $140 billion on jet fuel, or 30% of operating costs. In 2003, it was 14%.

  25. Next steps: Establish global sustainability criteria Provide incentives Understand local opportunities De-risk investments Support supply chain collaboration Foster research

  26. More fundingfrom the Government of Canada • Canada-China Science & Technology Agreement • More projectswith Europe • More projectswith CRIAQ • Agreement with ATAG (Air Transport Action Group) • GARDN 2ndAnnualConferencenextfall 2012 • … … more to come
