  1. Green EngineeringProgram Committee – A Proposal Jason Slagle Valerie Lyons

  2. Agenda • Introduction and Background • Charter, Scope, and Objectives • Initial Activity Plan • Related AIAA Committees • Membership Roster • Working Group Activities • Recommendation

  3. What is Green Engineering? Boeing.com GE.com AIAA Conferences & Literature Energy Conversion Efficiency Airframe Efficiency Enviro.aero Enviro.aero Renewable Energy Biofuels Wikipedia.org Climate Monitoring Recycling Operations

  4. Example Green Engineering Programs Continuous Lower Energy, Emissions & Noise (CLEEN) Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI) GE Ecomagination Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E) Environmentally Responsible Aviation (ERA) Adaptive Versatile Engine Technology (ADVENT)

  5. World-wide attention has become focused on sustainability and the need for new approaches to energy generation & utilization. Greener Aviation & Alternative Fuels named top two emerging technologies for AIAA involvement. Individual facets of green technologies represented sporadically in the technical committees, but there is no central focus & systems thinking approach. A PC, with its inherent systems point of view, flexibility of approach, and access to a wide range of expertise, offers AIAA such a focus that would broadly benefit the membership. Other professional organizations are ramping up their involvement in “green” activities. AIAA needs a clearly defined focal point & should work to become a leader in this growing domain. The Green Engineering PC…Why Now?

  6. Proposed Charter The purpose of the Green Engineering Program Committee (GEPC) is to promote a holistic, systems approach to improved energy efficiency, sustainability, renewable energy and ‘cradle-to-cradle’ design. GEPC serves as the AIAA focal point for all “green” aerospace-related programs and technologies, and works synergistically with the appropriate technical committees to assure that the AIAA membership is adequately informed about all aspects of this critical aerospace activity.

  7. Scope • Serve as the focal point and interface between AIAA and the green technology community, including DOE, EPA, NOAA, and complementary professional societies. • Characterize the critical challenges for green technologies as applied to aerospace systems. • Identify rapidly advancing & emerging technologies that support improved energy efficiency and sustainability. • Support AIAA public policy forums / initiatives and provide a liaison to the Public Policy Committee. • Coordinate and focus green activities across the technical committees to develop / support conferences, workshops, position papers, panel sessions and technical sessions. • Co-sponsor relevant conferences and events with other professional societies. • Identify champions for new green initiatives within AIAA.

  8. Objectives • Help shape the vision, direction and policy for future energy and aviation systems. • Promote sustainable and renewable aerospace-related energy systems. • Advocate “cradle-to-cradle” design and system-level optimization of complex energy conversion systems. • Provide a forum in which industry, government, and academia can discuss solutions & approaches in an informal, non-competitive environment. • Promote and support conferences, workshops, sessions and technical publications in the area of aerospace-related green technology. • Provide efficient and effective knowledge transfer to the AIAA membership. • Ensure all relevant aspects of green technologies are represented in the technical committees and conferences.

  9. Initial Activity Plan for 2010 • Provide sessions for ASM and JPC/IECEC • Moving Forward with New Energy Policies • Green Energy Conversion Technologies • Recruit members from technical committees. • Provide an annual article for Aerospace America. • Establish quarterly GEPC meetings…January (ASM), April, July (JPC), October. • Provide a liaison to the Public Policy Committee. • Conduct coordination opportunities with other professional societies. • Develop the Green Engineering portal on the AIAA website.

  10. Related AIAA Organizations • Groups: • Propulsion & Energy • Aerospace Sciences • Aircraft & Atmospheric Systems • Information Systems • Engineering & Technology Mgmt • Program Committees: • Aerospace Traffic Management • Energy Optimized Aircraft & Equipment Systems • Standing Committees: • Emerging Technologies • Public Policy • Technical Committees: • Terrestrial Energy Systems • Air Breathing Propulsion Systems Integration • Aerospace Power Systems • Propellants & Combustion • Aircraft Design • Gas Turbine Engines • Sensor Systems • Aeroacoustics • Air Transportation Systems • Aircraft Design • Aircraft Operations • Society and Aerospace Technology • Space Resources

  11. Sample Technical Committee Responses I am also very keen to work with you and the Green Engineering Work Group. I would like to see a close alliance between the Group and the GTE TC to ensure we leverage our common interests and minimize duplication. Clearly we have much in common, so let’s set up a liaison and think about collabaration on JPC session etc. - Gas Turbine Engines Technical Committee The interests of the Space Architecture Technical Committee (SATC) include sustainable development, both in space and on Earth. We promote a two-way transfer of building technology and design practice between Earth and space to improve habitat efficiency and reduce environmental impact. We welcome the establishment of a Green Engineering Program Committee. - Space Architecture Technical Committee See www.dasconline .org…We welcome any support for this conference you can muster -Digital Avionics Technical Committee The technologies that are worked under ISRU have many applications to green engineering, as we are basically all about the reduce-reuse-recycle circle. Especially with a potential shift of focus to Mars, with its CO2 atmosphere, we have many potential terrestrial applications…I think there are several members of my TC that may be interested in your new PC... -Space Resources Technical Committee Congrats and welcome aboard! I can't think of any Space Logistics TC suggestions just now, but we will be pleased to work with you. There are surely many areas of overlap and opportunities for collaboration between us. - Space Logistics Technical Committee

  13. History of the Green Engineering Working Group Emerging Technologies Committee Propulsion & Energy Group Green Energy Technology Working Group (8/2008) Green Engineering Working Group (10/2009)

  14. Working Group Activities • GNC 2008 • Green Energy Technology Working Group proposal • ASM 2009 • Green Energy Technology Working Group Kickoff • JPC/IECEC 2009 • Panel session – Biofuels for Propulsion and Terrestrial Power Generation • Green Engineering Working Group Meeting • October 2009 • Green Engineering Working Group Meeting • ASM 2010 • Panel Session - Renewable Fuels: Are Biofuels the Future Fuel for Aviation? • Liaison identified for Public Policy committee • July 2010 • Green Engineering working group meeting • JPC/IECEC 2010 • GEPC program committee proposal • Technical Session - Green Energy Conversion Technologies • Panel Session - Moving Forward with New Energy Policies

  15. Based on the current importance of green technologies for aerospace applications and the demonstrated interest and organization within the AIAA, the Green Engineering Working Group recommends that it be approved for transition to a program committee, to be known as the Green Engineering Program Committee (GEPC).
