Advancements in Aviation Sustainability: The CLEEN Program Overview

This presentation outlines the CLEEN (Continuous Lower Energy, Emissions, and Noise) Program, aimed at enhancing aviation sustainability through innovative technologies. Delivered by Jim Skalecky from the FAA at the AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting, it discusses NextGen initiatives targeted at reducing aviation's environmental impacts, such as greenhouse gas emissions, community noise, and air quality concerns. Key program goals include the development of certified aircraft technologies, the advancement of renewable fuels, and improved energy efficiency, all crucial for achieving a sustainable aviation future.

Presentation Transcript

  1. CLEEN (Continuous Lower Energy, Emissions and Noise) Program Technologies Development Presented to: By: Date: AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting Jim Skalecky Federal Aviation Administration Office of Environment and Energy January 4, 2010

  2. Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) Ongoing, wide-ranging transformation of U.S. national airspace system (NAS)

  3. GLOBAL CLIMATE NOISE AIR QUALITY WATER QUALITY ENERGY Meeting NextGen Environmental Challenges NextGen goal to increase capacity is dependent upon addressing & mitigating aviation environmental impacts & dealing with related energy issues NextGen environmental goals 5-Pillar approach to develop solutions • Improve science and modeling • Accelerate operational changes • Mature new aircraft technology • Develop renewable fuels • Examine policies & market-based measures • Absolute reduction of significant community noise and air quality emissions impacts • Reduce significant aviation impacts associated with water quality • Improve NAS energy efficiency and, supply of and access to, alternative fuel sources • Limit/reduce the impact of aviation greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on the globalclimate

  4. Sample Plan for Success (CO2) • Gain 2% efficiency/yr • Carbon neutral growth by 2020, absolute reduction by 2050

  5. FAA CLEEN Program • Address NextGen environmental goals in partnership with industry • Mature promising energy efficient, clean and quiet technologies • Advance renewable alternative fuels for aviation • Assess technology suitability for retrofit or re-engine • Meet national R&D goals

  6. CLEEN Program Goals Develop and demonstrate (TRL 6-7) certifiable aircraft technology

  7. Life Cycle GHG Emissions (gCO2e/MJ) CLEEN Program Goals (continued) Advance use of “drop-in” alternative fuels in aircraft systems focusing on renewable options • No compromise in safety • Successful demonstration • Quantification of environmental impacts, costs and benefits

  8. CLEEN Program Goals (continued) Alternative fuel transition strategies, including: • Consideration of production in sufficient quantities to meet commercial aviation’s needs. • Use of existing fuel infrastructure

  9. CLEEN Solicitation - Alternative Fuels • Limited to demonstration and assessment of alternative fuels • Testing required to support fuel qualification, specification development and production potential. • Does not include funding for development of alternative fuels production capabilities, except production which may be needed to support ASTM approval. • Quantification of costs and benefits

  10. CLEEN Solicitation - Alternative Fuels • Advance alternative jet fuels (which may include a blend with conventional jet fuel) • Economically viable and reduces the life-cycle carbon footprint • does not compete for land/water resources necessary for food production. • Evaluate the effects of alternative fuels on aircraft/engine performance. • Assess emissions effects (relative to Jet-A) of using alternative fuels

  11. CLEEN Timeframe and Funding • Timeframe: Fiscal Year 2009-2014+ • Budget • $125M+ for FY-09 through FY-14* • 1:1 Cost Share • Market Research Conference: May 2008 • Solicitation released: May 12, 2009. • Solicitation closed: July 21. • Proposal Evaluation Completed, Awards Pending Accomplished with support from NASA and AFRL * Per 2009 FAA National Aviation Research Plan and FY 2010 Budget Request

  12. CLEEN Collaboration Opportunities • Interagency Coordination • Air Force Research Laboratory • National Aeronautics and Space Administration • Department of Energy • Department of Agriculture • Government-Industry-Academia Consortia • CLEEN Program awardees • Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI) • Partnership for AiR Transportation Noise and Emissions Reduction (PARTNER)

  13. CLEEN Consortium Goals • Facilitate cooperation among awardees • Spur technical interchange • Provide mechanism for effective government-industry collaboration • Accelerate technology transition to commercial products • Provide vehicle to more effectively identify & address technology gaps

  14. CAAFI Goals • Facilitate development of alternative fuels to enhance • Environmental sustainability by reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) & Air Quality (AQ) emissions • Fuel supply stability/security • Fuel price stability • Economic development/jobs • Maintain or improve safety and performance www.caafi.org/

  15. PARTNER CLEEN Goals • Develop tools for effective technology assessment • Assess suitability and potential impact of aircraft technologies and alternative fuels on • Aircraft performance • Fleet operations • Environmental and economic policy • Global climate change • Foster collaboration and consensus among academic, commercial and governmental institutions www.partner.aero

  16. Way Forward • Contract awards in 1st Qtr of CY 2010 • CLEEN Consortium Kick-off Spring 2010 • CLEEN engagement with CAAFI and PARTNER activities • Development of CLEEN technology transition roadmaps
