Aviation emissions
Emissions from the aviation sector can cover a great range of activities according to what is considered as part of the sector or not (see for example "The Belgian aviation market").
Among these activities, we may consider:
- access to airports and related infrastructure (mainly train and road transport);
- airport infrastructures (buildings : construction, heating, dismantling, etc. ; operations : catering, fuel and other supplying, technical vehicles, maintenance services, etc. ; traffic generated by staff ; etc.);
- all the supply chain of aircrafts (building, maintenance, dismantling, etc.);
- aircraft operations (flights).
In the ABC research project, the focus has been put on aircraft emissions related to the different flight phases (taxi/idle, LTO, cruise, etc.).
