Green aviation-power brings a groundbreaking advancement in the transition of aviation industry towards sustainable and environmental-friendly air-transportation. Hydrogen or electrical propulsion leverages new energy as a fuel source, offering a number of compelling advantages that could revolutionize air travel. By emitting no greenhouse gases or pollutants, hydrogen aviation aligns with the goals of achieving net-zero emissions in the transportation sector, which enables the aviation industry significantly reduce its environmental impact while maintaining and enhancing performance and efficiency. However, challenges still remain to meet the requirements of high energy density, long-duration flight capability, versatility in aircraft types, etc. As technology advances and infrastructure expands, hydrogen-powered aviation is poised to become a cornerstone of the sustainable transportation landscape.
This track, hosted by Beihang University, chaired by Prof Xiaojun YAN, will deliver 12 excellent invited talks covers a wide range of green aviation-power. We are inviting researches working on all aspects of hydrogen or electrical propulsion to participate this event.
Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) means aviation fuel that is made of renewable resources or wastes，and has passed safety certification and sustainability certification, with full life cycle emission reduction up to 80% or more, and has become a realistic energy path for deep decarbonization of the aviation industry by the middle of the century. SAF has been widely valued by governments as well as the aviation industry. However, its large-scale promotion and implementation still faces constraints in terms of safety, sustainability and economy. Therefore, the sub-forum jointly organized by Civil Aviation University of China and Cathay Pacific will focus on the domains of SAF policy, feedstock, process, safety certification, sustainability certification, price & market, and supply chain, inviting experts and scholars from domestic and foreign enterprises, R&D institutions, universities and government agencies to introduce the latest progress in their respective fields, and to promote information communication and exchange. This track will promote the communication and exchange of information, accelerate the system integration of the whole SAF industry chain, and accelerate the R&D, validation and application of SAF.
