T&E: Rising use of private jets sends CO2 emissions soaring

Green Car Congress

CO 2 emissions from private jets in Europe increased by nearly a third (31%) between 2005 and 2019, rising faster than commercial aviation emissions, according to a new report from environmental campaign group Transport & Environment (T&E). The report, Private jets: can the super-rich supercharge zero emission aviation?

EU GRAMOFON project ends after 42 months with promising results on CO2 capture

Green Car Congress

During the 42-month project, innovative materials and efficient systems for capturing CO 2 from post-combustion industrial emissions were developed. In particular, materials such as modified-graphene aerogels and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown very good CO 2 capture capacities and greater selectivity than traditional adsorbents.

Air France and Airbus combine renewable fuel and air traffic management technologies to cut CO2 in half on demo flight

Green Car Congress

Air France and Airbus have combined the latest fuel and air traffic management technologies in a commercial flight from Toulouse-Blagnac to Paris-Orly using an Airbus A321 to demonstrate the cutting in half of CO 2 emitted compared to a regular flight, according to the partners. This is equivalent to a fuel efficiency of 2.2
