24. A good case study! Distribution points There are 161,768 gas stations in the USA alone, but only 1,679 airports control 95% of the world’s passengers. Around 10% of fuel Total transport fuel use in 2008 was over 2 billion tonnes. Of that, commercial aviation used 215 million tonnes of Jet A-1. 2% of emissions Last year, aviation emitted 649 million tonnes of CO2 from a global total of 34 billion tonnes. Largest operating cost Last year, airlines spent $140 billion on jet fuel, or 30% of operating costs. In 2003, it was 14%.

25. Next steps: Support supply chain collaborati on Establish global sustainability criteria De-risk investments Provide incentives Understand local opportunities Foster researc h

26. … more to come  More funding from the Government of Canada  Canada-China Science & Technology Agreement  More projects with Europe  More projects with CRIAQ  Agreement with ATAG (Air Transport Action Group)  GARDN 2 nd Annual Conference next fall 2012  …
