Special Focus: FlyingGreen - Accelerating aviation's path to Net Zero and climate change resilience

Tamara Pejovic, FlyingGreen programme manager, EUROCONTROL

Recognising its significant contribution to global carbon emissions, the aviation industry has committed to net- zero emissions by 2050. EUROCONTROL’s platform of sustainability services FlyingGreen provides solutions and tools for people in the aviation sector who are working towards that goal by building reliable and consistent sustainability strategies for the future.

FlyingGreen offers a unified framework for all aviation players, leveraging EUROCONTROL data for traffic forecasts and air traffic management (ATM) operations alongside authoritative energy and technology sources, including regulatory impacts. All data and models are transparently shared with stakeholders for free - guiding users in their simulations.

With aviation stakeholders facing the intricate task of developing decarbonisation plans with hundreds of technical-economic parameters and policy makers navigating local roadmaps that align with shifting international aviation targets, and regulations, FlyingGreen delivers a neutral perspective for informed decision-making.

FlyingGreen users get access to the latest knowledge and EUROCONTROL’s Aviation Long-Term Outlook to 2050 - the most recent long-term air traffic forecast – in combination with emissions reduction strategies, operational changes, and policy context to feed their own scenarios. From these simulations, users can establish a solid ground for decision- making, and implement their decarbonisation strategy, from optimising current operations to deploying future fuels and new energy sourcing options.

“FlyingGreen is designed to support aviation in tackling the twin challenges of decarbonisation and climate change resilience. Through data-driven insights, practical tools, and collaborative solutions, we help industry stakeholders navigate this complex transition. The road to Net Zero is not straightforward, but with the right strategies and partnerships, we can make meaningful progress."

Tamara Pejovic FlyingGreen Programme Manager EUROCONTROL

EUROCONTROL's FlyingGreen platform is set up under four strategic pillars for the decarbonisation of aviation and climate change adaptation that reflect the most pressing strategic priorities: reducing emissions (NetZero), transitioning to more sustainable fuel (FuellingDecarb), building climate change resilience (ClimAdapt) and accelerating aviation's access to green funding (DecarbFin). Users can adjust their decarbonisation simulations to the wider context of energy dependencies, access to funding and anticipate the necessary parallel climate adaptation measures. This makes FlyingGreen a catalyst for change that ensures a holistic transition path towards a more sustainable industry.

A one-stop-shop for aviation decarbonisation – leveraging digital solutions

The latest technical releases of FlyingGreen have enhanced the key functionalities and improved the usability of FlyingGreen’s core pillars. As industry adoption grows, the platform will continue to evolve to address new sustainability challenges, integrate emerging technologies, and support the sector’s long-term transformation.
