EASA seeks new emissions standards for aircraft
EASA is looking to set new emissions standards for aircraft in a bid to curtail carbon dioxide production. EASA has proposed that newly designed aircraft types should meet a CO2 standard from Jan 1, 2020, with types already in production at that date being held to a separate standard from Jan 1, 2023. The aim of the proposal is to incentivise the incorporation of the latest fuel efficiency technology into airplane designs, and to address the predicted increase in CO2 emissions. Although aircraft are becoming steadily “greener” and emitting less pollution, this improvement is being overtaken by the growing size of the world’s airliner fleet. EASA has submitted an “Opinion” to the EC that also includes a new Particulate Matter emissions standard for aircraft engines from the Jan 1, 2020. <br/>
