Europe Begins Alternate Aviation Fuel Study.

Flight International (3/2, Coppinger) reported, "A 26-month European project to understand the technical, economic, social, environmental and geopolitical impacts of alternate aviation fuel and energy sources is under way." The European Commission-funded study "is designed to provide political authorities with the information needed to make decisions on the different alternative fuels, by providing recommendations and a road map for the deployment of energy sources in the medium term." The project is also hoped to "provide solid foundations for international partnerships extending beyond Europe, including the USA."


Canada Launches Collaborative "Green Aviation" Initiative.

Flight International (3/2, Coppinger) reported that Canada "has created its Green Aviation Research and Development Network (GARDN) that is designed to foster the development of technologies to reduce aircraft noise and emissions in the vicinity of airports." The aim of the project is to "bring together government, academic and industrial partners for the development of aviation environmental technologies." According to the Canadian government, "this will lower the production of greenhouse gases by the aviation sector and reduce the carbon footprint of Canadian aviation."
