NREL Addresses Energy Challenges for Sustainable Aviation
With the aviation industry contributing 2.5% of global carbon dioxide emissions, a clean energy transformation in aviation operations will prove essential to mitigate climate change. Cutting-edge research is paving the way.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) leverages advanced data analytics to help guide mobility transformations as part of a new sustainable aviation research initiative. Major transportation hubs, fuel producers, airlines, and aircraft manufacturers tap NREL's unique capabilities in sustainable fuels analysis, resilience, electrification, and large-scale validation and modeling to understand how to achieve ambitious energy-saving goals, improve regional air quality, and optimize the movement of people and goods.
