Common initiatives can make Nordic aviation significantly more sustainable

This is the conclusion of the report “Nordic Sustainable Aviation” - prepared by the Institute of Transport Economics and commissioned by Nordic Energy Research. The report explores challenges and opportunities for a strengthened Nordic cooperation on increasing the sustainability of aviation by 2030, possibly with a knock-on effect in the European aviation industry. The report presents current policy frameworks in each Nordic country and outlines five areas with potential for a common Nordic political approach: 1) a fuel blending mandate…

Invitation to Tender: Nordic Sustainable Aviation

Emissions from aviation accounts for around 3 percent of the EU's total CO2-emissions. According to the European Commission, air transportation is expected to increase by 43 percent in 2030 compared to 2015. In order to achieve climate neutrality and the objectives of the Paris agreement, it is essential that aviation in the long term becomes CO2-neutral. During 2019, the focus on sustainability and climate has been increased in the Nordic Council of Ministers. On 25 January 2019, the Nordic Prime…
