Sustainable aviation

Sustainable aviation is becoming a reality, with small aircraft using low-emission propulsion technologies like electricity and hydrogen, and larger aircraft advancing with Sustainable Aviation Fuels. Adapting to these green technologies requires changes in airport infrastructure, airline business models, and operations, while also creating new opportunities.
GH Aviation Consulting offers expert guidance to aircraft manufacturers, airports, and operators in navigating sustainable aviation. With connections to key industry stakeholders, we provide insights into various technologies, enabling the design of effective strategies. Our focus is on practical, short-term actions within this decade to foster more sustainable flying methods.

 

Sustainability strategy

GH Aviation Consulting helps airlines and airports develop ESG strategies to become more sustainable. Our support ranges from setting up emission monitoring programs for CORSIA or ETS obligations to designing and implementing measures to reduce emissions. This involves optimizing current operations for better fuel efficiency, utilizing SAF, and introducing lower-emission aircraft.

Fuel efficiency

Fuel efficiency reduces carbon emissions and saves costs. At GH Aviation Consulting, we identify potential savings areas, quantify them, develop business cases for solutions, and conduct necessary change management actions with your staff.

SAF production feasability

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is crucial for achieving net zero by 2050, requiring exponential growth in production. This involves developing regional production units using local resources. GH Aviation Consulting offers feasibility studies for SAF production, analyzing demand, comparing production techniques, and assessing investment, operating costs, and ROI.

Electric aviation

Several technologies based on electric engines are on the market today: full electric, hydrogen, hybrid, eVTOLs, eCTOLs, eSTOLs,… GH Aviation Consulting have developed a unique and thorough knowledge of upcoming electric aircraft. We provide insights to the aviation stakeholders to help them identify the most credible technologies and projects and their potentials.

Airport energy infrastructure

Sustainable aviation faces significant challenges, particularly in airport infrastructure. Airports must provide Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), electric chargers, hydrogen stations, Ground Power Units (GPUs), and Air Conditioning Units (ACUs). Upgrading these infrastructures often takes years and requires a strategic approach. This strategy ensures smooth transitions and attracts new operators. GH Aviation Consulting specializes in pre-sizing airport energy infrastructures, preparing airports for future demands.

Business case for
sustainable solutions

The transition to sustainable solutions must be economically viable. Convincing investors or clients to adopt lower emission solutions like electric aviation or carbon reduction schemes requires a thorough business case. Understanding clients, their business models, and needs is essential. GH Aviation Consulting creates state-of-the-art business cases for sustainable solutions tailored to specific geographies.
