Aviation Vision 2050: The potential for climate-neutral growth
To comply with the Paris agreement, aviation decarbonization strategies need to include controls on short-lived climate pollutants to complement greenhouse gas mitigation.
Designing an equitable aviation climate levy
This paper analyzed six different aviation climate levy designs and compares their impact on emissions, revenue, and equity across income levels and geographies.
Demand response to aviation carbon pricing in Canada
Models the effect of introducing a Canada-wide carbon price on interprovincial flights and assesses a scenario of using a frequent flyer levy to achieve the same change in demand as carbon pricing.
Evaluating the potential role of a National Low-Carbon Fuel Standard to support sustainable aviation fuels
Investigates the integration of aviation fuels into a national low-carbon fuel standard (LCFS) policy, highlighting the potential for LCFS policies to promote sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with policy design choices playing a crucial role in shaping their effectiveness.
Priorities for government spending on net-zero aviation
This study delves into the necessity of government fiscal support for decarbonizing international aviation, estimating that approximately $0.8–1.4 trillion of public investment is required to bring emerging clean aviation technologies to maturity and achieve a net-zero goal by 2050.
Aviation climate finance using a global frequent flying levy
Analyzes the potential of a tax on individuals who fly often to raise revenue for the decarbonization of aviation
Vision 2050: Aligning aviation with the Paris Agreement
Analyzes scenarios under which the aviation sector could achieve emissions reductions in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
Variation in aviation emissions by itinerary: The case for emissions disclosure
Analyzes varying levels of carbon emitted on alternative itineraries serving the same two cities and calls for emissions disclosure by airlines.
Potential tankering under an EU sustainable aviation fuels mandate
Investigates the potential for tankering to undermine the environmental objectives of a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) mandate in the European Union.
Reducing aircraft CO2 emissions: The role of U.S. federal, state, and local policies
Considers the legal challenge brought by 12 U.S. states seeking stronger federal regulation on aircraft CO2 emissions from EPA, and discusses additional policy instruments that could help mitigate aviation emissions.
