Do you want to contribute to sustainable aviation? Airbus is

In nearly million commercial flights were made around the world. This figure shows how important this sector is for social and economic development. However, each trip by this means has a cost of 285 grams of CO2 per kilometer per passenger, making it the most polluting transport. Therefore, it is necessary to commit to sustainable aviation. Faced with this, Airbus – a leading company in the design, manufacture and supply of aerospace products, services and solutions – has dedicated efforts to reduce the repercussions that airplanes have and, as part of this, is promoting the creation of alternative fuel. The above through the Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) Mexico-2023 contest , in which the aircraft manufacturer , along with other giants in this field, wants to promote national talent and sustainable aviation, supporting research projects dedicated to production of innovative energy. To talk more about this initiative, at Expok, we were able to talk with Guillaume Gressin, Vice President International, Strategy and Commercial Operations of Airbus LATAM. We tell you the details! Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) Mexico-2023 Fossil fuel is one of the main sources of emissions from the aerospace industry, requiring thousands of liters per day. Therefore, moving towards more sustainable sources could help reduce up to 80% of emissions, building sustainable aviation.

Gressin indicates that there is little supply of alternative fuels, for this reason Airbus collaborates to change this reality, together with: The Mexican Council of Aerospace Education. The Mexican Federation of the Aerospace Industry. The International Air Transport Association (IATA). The National Chamber of Air Transport (Canaero). The Initiative for Sustainable Aviation Cyprus Email List Fuels in Mexico. Long live Aerobus. You will fly. sustainable aviation guillaume Our nation was chosen for the pioneering international contest S ustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) Mexico-2023, since the executive highlights that the region has great potential to be a producer of biofuels. “Mexico has all the landscape and the possibility of being a leading country in the manufacture of sustainable fuel for aviation. It has strong expertise, incredible biomass, great solar and wind capacities, and the renewable part is key, precisely, in synthetic fuels.” Guillaume Gressin, Vice President International, Strategy and Commercial Operations of Airbus LATAM. Thus, through this call, a call is being made for research into different fuels, in which scholars from all higher education institutions in the country may participate.



To be part of SAF Mexico-2023, teams must send a scientific report in which they address a proposal that includes: An original, scientific, theoretical and experimental idea. A project developed in terms of biofuels and sustainable fuels of 2nd and 3rd Generation. Consideration of ecological impact, scalability and economic, financial or market aspects. Join sustainable aviation, you can register your team here before January 31, 2022. We leave you the complete call in the following link . It is important to remember that the climate crisis has become one of the biggest challenges for humanity, and building alternatives to mitigate the environmental impact is fundamental at any level and industry. In this aspect, aviation has great areas of opportunity, as Guillaume Gressin comments, because by being constantly renewed it can integrate constant improvements into its mechanisms. The airline sector facing emissions Guillaume Gressin shares as additional information that the carbon emissions generated today by aviation represent 2% to 3% of this type of emissions globally, so reducing these CO2 emissions - a gas that alters the compartment of the atmosphere—has been one of the main pillars for the company. Therefore, it aims to be zero emissions by 2050, through three main axes: Innovation: Airbus develops innovations ranging from aerodynamics and engines to energy efficiency. In the latter they even have a commitment to create a zero-emission aircraft by 2035, using hydrogen technology.
