Environmental analysis and demand modelling of SAF pathways

TUM.PtX News |

At the Chair of Sustainable Future Mobility, different SAFs are analysed in more detail from a technical and environmental perspective using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method.

The aviation industry's net-zero carbon emissions target (2050) is focused on delivering a maximum reduction in emissions. In this context, the SFM group is researching and developing technical and environmental analyses for sustainable aviation (SAF) fuel production. This research aims to determine a methodological framework for environmental analysis of SAF pathways considering the European scenario based on the 2050 ICAO Vision for Sustainable Aviation Fuels. THE SFM group is working on the Aviation Demand Modelling SAF pathways (i.e., F-T, ATJ, PtX technologies) considering technological scenarios for 2030-2040-2050 in Germany, aiming to quantify environmental impacts based on an LCA approach.
