Can one region influence the global aviation industry? The Nordic countries have serious ambitions to reduce the carbon footprint of flying and hope to pilot others towards fossil free and guiltfree air travel. Find out more on this subject, when Nordic Energy Research and Nordic Innovation are organizing an event on environmentally and socially sustainable aviation at COP26. Time and place On November 8 at 09.15–10.00 (GMT), you are welcome to gain insight into the challenging but crucial plans to…
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…
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…
Making Nordic aviation sustainable On 20th November 2018, Nordic Energy Research (NER), Nordic Initiative for Sustainable Aviation (NISA) and Danish Technical University (DTU) organised a workshop at Nordens Hus in Copenhagen to explore policies, technology needs and market development. 60 people from the aviation industry (airline, fuel producers and airports), Nordic aviation administrators and researchers shared their perspectives. This is the last Nordic aviation meeting co-organised by NISA and NER. The point of departure for this program was a meta-study…

Date/Time: 10th October 2017, 9:30 – 16:00 Venue: Copenhagen Airport, Denmark Capacity: 100 people. Free-of-Charge. Conference Language: English Programme. Why this Conference? The aviation industry aims to stabilise CO2 emissions at 2020 levels and requiring airlines to offset the growth of their emissions after 2020. One of the measures required is increasing the use of sustainable jet fuel. Development, production and supply of sustainable jet fuel involves many sectors and actors. There is a need to think across both ministries, business models and national borders…
