Webinar: Targeting Net-Zero Emission in the Aviation Industry
2022-05-24 16:30 - 18:00 UTC
Synopsis
Reducing carbon emissions has been a long-term goal for the aviation industry. With borders now open after a 2-year break due to the pandemic, there is a spotlight on the aviation industry and its commitment to becoming sustainable and protecting the climate of our planet.
This webinar brings together experts from various fields within the aviation industry to provide insightful perspectives on not just Sustainable Aviation Fuel, but also on the importance of balancing that with effective carbon market-based measures (MBMs) to ensure carbon emission goals are being met in a quantifiable manner. Moreover, sustainability in the aviation industry has to be undertaken in a holistic manner with the engagement of the wider ecosystem and stakeholders such as the financial sector. Beyond these, the webinar seeks to discuss the possibility of breakthrough technology such as hydrogen-based or electric aircrafts.
We are inviting you to join us for a best practice and awareness-sharing session on the journey to zero-emission and cleaner technologies that the aviation industry has embarked upon.

POST EVENT

This morning, EuroCham engaged in a dialogue on sustainability within the aviation sector at a breakfast gathering centred around the “Optimisation of Operations,” hosted by Airbus, EuroCham’s knowledge partner at the Airbus office in Seletar.
Anand Stanley, President of APAC for Airbus and Board Member of EuroCham, inaugurated the discussion with valuable perspectives on sustainability. Anand emphasized that as we progress towards sustainability and technology, there has been an impressive 80% reduction in emissions per seat. Airbus is actively pursuing solutions to foster collaboration throughout the entire ecosystem, enhancing connectivity and bringing people together, all while prioritizing sustainability. Airbus’s primary focus is on discovering pragmatic and implementable solutions.
The advancements in sustainable air travel are evident, with planes now 25% more efficient. Through fuel optimization, improved flight path solutions, enhanced on-ground operations, the use of taxi bots, green electricity, AV technology, data analysis, and leveraging data for optimization and reporting, the industry is embracing cutting-edge technologies. Notable initiatives like Aeroshark from Lufthansa further contribute to the progress towards a more sustainable aviation future.
Key highlights also included the development of an eco-friendly Terminal 5 at Changi Airport, strategies to reduce engine usage during landing and taxiing using taxibots.
It was intriguing to discover how Airbus, Lufthansa, and Changi Airport are optimizing their operations to enhance efficiency and decrease emissions.
The event featured a distinguished panel of experts – Philipp Bonkatz, General Manager from Lufthansa Group, Jack Z. Zhang, Assistant Manager for Terminal 5 Specialised Systems from Changi Airport Group, Patrick Goh and Hélène Burger from Airbus.
Fabrice Espinosa, CEO of Studio28 ltd, skillfully moderated the discussion. Fabrice adeptly managed insightful questions and answers, fostering engaging and informative discussions among the panellists and attendees.

Synopsis
The key headwinds of 2022, sharply rising inflation and interest rates, currency market volatility, China’s pandemic struggles, as well as energy and food security concerns, have begun to fade. Trade is on the weak side, tech sector is shedding some jobs, and rates may not be coming down, but the global economy is emerging from the punches of 2022 on a decent footing. US and Europe no longer looked destined for recession and China’s pro-growth shift is a major source of support for global demand. Lingering risks include the war in Ukraine, China-US rivalry, financial market volatility, and re-emergence of inflation in late 2023 as demand remains resilient.
At the same time, it is important to note that economies in the Asia Pacific, many of which rely heavily on imported goods, are vulnerable to the consequences of supply chain disruption for production and consumption. Promoting flexible and resilient supply chains will be key to weathering the storm.
Join us for our annual Economic Outlook for insightful presentations and panel discussions with notable industry leaders.

POST EVENT

On 12 October, under the umbrella of our Sustainable Air Travel programme, we organised an insightful panel discussion on the Evolution of Air Mobility. Kah Meng SEE from Safran presented trends foreseen in air mobility. Additionally, we delved into Airbus’s RACER project with Fabrice Rochereau, showcasing breakthroughs in helicopters. Professor James Wang from Nanyang Technological University Singapore further enriched the session with his dynamic panel moderation.
🍃 Sustainability & Innovation: Thomas COCHELIN, Chair of the Aerospace & Air Travel Committee emphasized that innovation and disruption are vital. The drive to decarbonize air travel is not just a trend, but a necessity!
🔧 Technological Aspects:
Key elements in Air Mobility include SAF feedstock, synthetic fuel, hydrogen, and the conceptualization of air mobility as a service.
Kah Meng spotlighted critical trends:
· The escalating importance of sustainability.
· Technological innovations.
· Addressing road traffic congestion.
· The perception of air mobility as a service.
Commercial aviation’s roadmap to net-zero: Approximately 35-40% through tech advancements, 5-10% via operational improvements, ~50% with sustainable aviation fuels, and 5-10% via offset schemes.
On the horizon: Adoption of lighter materials, Safran’s collaborative ventures in electric/hybrid propulsion, and air mobility solutions to alleviate road congestion.
🌐 Business Dynamics: Professor
Professor @James Wang highlighted the 800+ start-ups worldwide focusing on Air Mobility. While start-ups are quick and agile, industry leaders like Airbus have more resources for R&D. However, one consensus stands tall: No compromise on safety and regulations!
🚁 Helicopter Evolution:
Safran is pioneering advancements in helicopters with hybrid engines tailored to market needs. Meanwhile, Airbus leads in VTOL technology, aiming for a sustainable future in both civil and military sectors.
Notable initiatives include the Racer and City Airbus projects, which focus on urban air mobility and broader community services such as medical aid, connectivity, and eco-tourism.
The new generation emphasizes speed, cost-efficiency, and a 20% reduction in both noise and emissions. Keep an eye out: the first flight of the RACER project is slated for 2023, with more demonstrations on the horizon for next year!
A heartfelt thank you to Valerie PATUEL and Safran for hosting the panel and for the refreshments.
