What Impacts the Carbon Intensity of the Transport Sector • What mode of transport is used • Scale and density of the network • Efficiencies of the network • Efficiencies most energy intensive mode (air fleet) • Efficiencies of the ground fleet • Carbon Avoidance – strategies and results • Low carbon fuels (LCA perspective) • Advanced Technology Vehicles (HEV, HHV) • Capturing all carbon from origin to destination (scope 1, 2, 3) Relative Carbon Impact
Network Efficiency 3 1 Scale & Density 2 4 100 Million Miles Saved One Driver – All Products 5 2000 vs 2009
Aircraft Network Fuel Efficiency CO2 / Available Ton Mile Gallons / ATM Emissions / Payload Capacity 2020 goal to reduce our airline CO2/ATM by 42% from 1990 % of Fleet Meeting Stage IV • Early acquisition of efficient aircraft • Average age of fleet is 12.3 years • ADS-B – In flight aircraft visibility • SMS – Surface Management Systems • LIDO - Innovative routing technology • Continuous Descent Approach • Single engine taxi / Optimize fuel on-board • NEXT GEN Leadership
