1 ICAO Symposium on Aviation and Climate Change, “Destination Green”, 14 – 16 May 2013 Destination Green Commercial Issues/How Aviation Can Drive Alternative Fuels The Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative ® Coalition Approach Presented by: Nancy N. Young VP-Environment, Airlines for America (A4A)

2 CAAFI Is a Coalition of Coalitions: Bringing Interested Parties Together ICAO Symposium on Aviation and Climate Change, "Destination Green", ICAO Headquarters, Montréal, Canada, 14 - 16 May 2013 2 4 Sponsors; 300 Global Stakeholders; 180 Organizations 20 Airlines, Military, Airport orgs. 30 U.S. Government Offices 15 U.S. States / Universities 15 Aircraft, Engine, Subsystem OEM’s 19 Countries / 5 Continents 54 fuel producers

3 How CAAFI Works: Leveraging Efforts of Interested Parties  Four Teams Aimed at Addressing Key Questions to Get Sustainable Alternative Aviation Fuel to Commercially Viable Deployment  Certification/Qualification (jet fuel specs & qualifications)  Research and Development (suitable fuels/feedstocks)  Environment (confirming methods, tools)  Business & Economics (finance/commercial terms) ICAO Symposium on Aviation and Climate Change, "Destination Green", ICAO Headquarters, Montréal, Canada, 14 - 16 May 2013 3

4 What We Need to Get to Commercially Viable Deployment ICAO Symposium on Aviation and Climate Change, "Destination Green", ICAO Headquarters, Montréal, Canada, 14 - 16 May 2013 4 1 ) Safety/Suitable Fuels –This is addressed through (a)The jet fuel specification; and (b)Application of procedures to assure fuel quality is maintained 2) Environmental Benefit –This is being addressed through (a)Lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions; and (b)Sustainability review 3) Commercial Viability – in addition to Safety & Environmental Benefit … –Need cost competitiveness & –Supply reliability We now know how to do this Need confirmed methods and regulatory and contract acceptance These pose the highest hurdles at this stage

5 Slide/graphics source: Mark Rumizen, U.S. FAA/CAAFI Certification/Qualification Team Leader 5 2010 2009 2011 2012 2013 Jet Fuel Specification – Two Pathways Approved More on the Horizon ASTM D7566 Sept 1, 2009 Fischer-Tropsch (FT) Sept 1, 2009 H EFA July 1, 2011 2014 Coal Natural Gas Biomass Plant/Animal Oils 2015 Drop-In Fuel Specification Also Called HRJ or Bio- SPK FT-SKA Alcohol to Jet (ATJ) Direct Sugar to HC’s (DSHC)

6 Confirming Environmental Benefit: Critical for Meeting Our Targets ICAO Symposium on Aviation and Climate Change, "Destination Green", ICAO Headquarters, Montréal, Canada, 14 - 16 May 2013 6 Ongoing Fleet Renewal / Technology Development ATC/NextGen/Operational Improvements Low Carbon Fuels (lifecycle basis) Forecasted Emissions Growth Absent Reduction Measures Baseline CO 2 Emissions 2050 Carbon Neutral Growth and Reduction Timeline Technology, Fuels, Operations & Infrastructure - Potential Role for Carbon Credits to Bridge Potential role for carbon credits

7 CAAFI Environment Team: Advancing Methods and Tools  Greenhouse Gas Emissions Life Cycle Analysis (LCA)  Key guidance  Case studies  Included jet fuel pathways into ANL Greet Model  Currently working on a project to compare GHG LCA results from different models/tools  U.S. EPA-RFS2  EU Renewable Energy Directive – BioGrace  GREET ICAO Symposium on Aviation and Climate Change, "Destination Green", ICAO Headquarters, Montréal, Canada, 14 - 16 May 2013 7 For now, accepted country-based tools are fine; but eventually will need mutual recognition for proper crediting of environmental benefit (alternative fuel for international flights)

8 CAAFI Environment Team: Methods & Tools (continued)  Sustainability - (Draft) “Impact Matrix” and Guidance  Identifies areas of concern – key environmental indicators  Identifies relevant metrics for reflecting potential impact  Overview of existing regulatory and voluntary sustainability regimes  “Impact Matrix” sets out sustainability impact issues across the aviation alternative fuel supply chain  Environmental Progression  Puts “environmental readiness” on a scale with feedstock readiness and fuel readiness ICAO Symposium on Aviation and Climate Change, "Destination Green", ICAO Headquarters, Montréal, Canada, 14 - 16 May 2013 8

9 Meeting the Challenge of Cost Competitiveness & Supply Reliability  What Is Needed  Consistent energy/biofuels policy from governments  Alternative fuels development, incentive and deployment programs must include aviation (not just ground-based fuels)  Public-private partnerships to scale up supply and prove commercial supply chains  Proper crediting of environmental benefit with fuel purchases (book & claim accounting)  Market signals from fuel purchasers ICAO Symposium on Aviation and Climate Change, "Destination Green", ICAO Headquarters, Montréal, Canada, 14 - 16 May 2013 9

10 A Quick CAAFI Case Study  Using Public-Private Coalitions to Marshal Resources  CAAFI - alliances with Brazil, Germany, EU, Australia, etc.  A4A “Strategic Alliance” with the U.S. Military  FAA – CLEEN program research & development  Farm to Fly with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Boeing (and other partners) – just extended through 2018  Primary focus on linking feedstock supply chain with fuel production and end users; leverage agricultural programs  U.S. Department of Agriculture, Department of Energy and Navy initiative to stand up supply chains with industry  U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) credit available for aviation fuels  Airlines Sending Market Signals – pre-purchase agreements ICAO Symposium on Aviation and Climate Change, "Destination Green", ICAO Headquarters, Montréal, Canada, 14 - 16 May 2013 10
