T-1A3-A-1 - Passenger air transport

Definition

This emission source is defined by the IPCC in E-1A3a - Civil Aviation.

Transition Elements

This activity has the following mitigation options modelled as transition elements:

• T-1A3-TE-1 - Biofuel for air passenger transport
• T-1A3-TE-2 - More efficient passenger airplanes
• T-1A3-TE-3 - Shift to electric air passenger transport
• T-1A3-TE-4 - Shift from air travel to railway

Activity Model

This emission source is modelled with Combustion as:
