1. 1. Leveraging green hydrogen to decarbonise the aviation industry : A case study on electrofuels in Sweden

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Jakob Bergene; Jonathan Bruchhausen; [2023]
   Keywords : Electrofuel; e-fuel; electrokerosene; e-kerosene; SAF; sustainable aviation fuel; sustainable aviation; complementarity formation mechanisms; technology value chains; TVC; Techno-economic analysis; TEA; Elektrobränsle; e-bränsle; elektrofotogen; e-fotogen; SAF; sustainable aviation fuel; sustainable aviation; komplementära formationsmekanismer; technology value chains; TVC; Techno-economic analysis; TEA;

   Abstract : For the EU to reach its 2050 climate targets the aviation industry that is highly dependent on fossil fuels needs to drastically reduce its emissions. In the decarbonisation of the aviation industry drop-in sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) have been identified as a promising solution to abate the industry’s emissions. READ MORE

4. 3. Latest developments in sustainability reporting: How the TCFD framework shapes the understanding of climate risks

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för tjänstevetenskap

   Author : Andreea Neagu; [2022]
   Keywords : sustainability reporting; TCFD framework; relational theory of risk; risk communication; environmental risk communication; finance; transition finance; climate-related physical risks; transition risks; strategy; aviation industry.; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : This thesis explores how the latest trends in sustainability reporting are shaping the understanding of climate-related risks. Having the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework as a proxy, this thesis focuses on the double materiality perspective, namely on how new disclosures are related not only to organizational efforts in lowering emissions, but on disclosures based on a climate-scenario analysis wherein companies are stressing the impacts of climate-related risks on their infrastructure and operations in the same time.

5. 4. Come Fly with Me (Sustainably) : Pathways to Sustainable General Aviation and Private Pilot Training

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Miljövetenskap

   Author : Michael Stiebe; [2022]
   Keywords : General Aviation; Sustainable Aviation; Sustainable Development; Electric Aviation; Noise Pollution; Leaded Fuel; AVGAS 100LL; Tetraethyl Lead Phaseout; Pilot Training; Recreational Aviation; Switzerland;

   Abstract : Whereas commercial aviation is attempting to achieve the reduction of its substantial carbon footprint, general aviation’s (GA) climate change contribution is negligibly small, which is why the sector is facing other sustainability challenges mainly entailing the operation of dated technology and aircraft, increasing regulatory constraints, rising costs, noise emissions, and popular discontent, as well as remaining the last mobility sector in the world to still use leaded fuels. Throughout recent years, there have been remarkable sustainability trends in GA as well as heightened efforts to improve its emissions profile (noise, pollutants, CO2) and environmental reputation, for instance by the increased use of electric aircraft, especially for private pilot training.
