Multi-objective evaluation of aviation-induced GHG emissions: UK domestic flight pattern

Abstract

Energy demand associated with energy consumption (commonly fossil fuels) has increased in line with the rise in world population and this has led to a number of complications. The best known and most prominent issue induced by fossil fuel utilization is unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions released as a result of the combustion of fuels. Emitted greenhouse gases from various sources, such as industrial plants, power plants, transportation services, residential utilization and so on, are largely responsible for global warming and climate change. According to latest reports, the share of the transportation sector in total energy-related CO 2 emissions is approximately 23%. As a result of a detailed investigation and dissemination of transportation-induced emissions, air transportation is found to be responsible for approximately 3-4% of total energyrelated CO 2 emissions. The current study introduces a different perspective in the evaluation of aircraft greenhouse gas emissions. In this manner, a thermodynamic evaluation on the basis of the first and second laws of thermodynamics and a cost evaluation of greenhouse gases emitted from domestic flights in the UK are presented in the current paper, in addition to an environmental impact assessment.

Determination of personal carbon footprint in aviation and tourism axis: Cappadocia Airport case

“…Firstly, total CO 2 emission is given in equation ( 1), while personal carbon footprint is given in equation ( 2). [25][26][27]: The emission factor here is 3.157, which refers to the CO 2 produced due to the combustion of 1 kg of fuel. That is, burning 1 kg of fuel causes 3.157 kg of CO 2 [28,29].…”

Environmental and enviroeconomic impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on commercial flights

“…Eliminating the EIs caused by greenhouse gas emissions has a certain financial value. Carbon taxes or emissions trading applied in many countries around the world are based on this principle (Şöhret, 2019; Çarıkçı and Öçal, 2020). This encourages countries and commercial enterprises to use renewable energy, which is cleaner energy source.…”
