isPermaLink="false">http://www.internationalairportreview.com/?p=6057</guid> <description><![CDATA[As the Indian aviation market continues its growth, the involvement of Shell Aviation Fuels has had much influence. International Airport Review spoke to CEO Sanjay Varkey to find out why the Indian market will continue to flourish.IAR: Shell Aviation first began its operations in India back in 2008 at Bangalore and Hyderabad Airports respectively, with nine further airports in the three years since. Has the growth in aviation in that part of the world meant that the expansion into those nine other airports was inevitable? Could it have been quicker?SV: When Shell MRPL Aviation Fuels and Services Private Limited (SMA) launched aviation fuel operations in India in 2008, Bangalore and Hyderabad were the country’s only two open access airports. Further expansions in India needed to align with access, permissions and developments at airports. In the two years since then, SMA has concluded industry first infrastructure sharing agreements in India that have enabled a rapid network expansion. Shell is currently the only multinational oil company with a government license to market aviation fuels in India. The network expansion into 12 airports across the country reinforces our strong focus on this market, which is growing at a remarkable rate. ]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/6057/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-4-2011/keeping-india-flying/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>An alternative way of thinking</title><link>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/4805/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-2-2011/an-alternative-way-of-thinking/</link> <comments>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/4805/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-2-2011/an-alternative-way-of-thinking/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 11 Apr 2011 14:22:29 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>swills@russellpublishing.com</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Issue 2 2011]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI)]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fuel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mark Rumizen]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Policy & strategy]]></category><guid

The airlines need sustainable alternative fuels to address a myriad of environmental and economic challenges, and these flights demonstrated that they could soon have what they want. ]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/4805/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-2-2011/an-alternative-way-of-thinking/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Aviation Emissions, EU ETS and measurement requirements</title><link>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/3468/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-5-2010/aviation-emissions-eu-ets-and-measurement-requirements/</link> <comments>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/3468/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-5-2010/aviation-emissions-eu-ets-and-measurement-requirements/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 01 Oct 2010 13:28:57 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>swills@russellpublishing.com</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Issue 5 2010]]></category> <category><![CDATA[European Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS)]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fuel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[International Air Transport Association (IATA)]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Jeff Poole]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Operations]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Policy & strategy]]></category><guid

While IATA recognises that some economic measures can help to mitigate emissions, IATA remains opposed to national and regional cap-and-trade schemes for international civil aviation. This article presents the airline industry objectives and targets for addressing its emissions, the challenges faced in complying with the EU ETS requirements, and measures to be taken to find suitable outcomes.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/3468/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-5-2010/aviation-emissions-eu-ets-and-measurement-requirements/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Fuel Cells Flying High!</title><link>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/2912/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-4-2010/flying-high/</link> <comments>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/2912/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-4-2010/flying-high/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 10 Aug 2010 08:22:04 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>swills@russellpublishing.com</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Issue 4 2010]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Breakthrough Technologies Institute (BTI)]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fuel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fuel Cells]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sandra Curtin]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Technology]]></category><guid

This calls for new approaches that will reduce fossil fuel use, increase energy efficiency and reduce noise pollution. While aviation experts generally do not foresee the use of fuel cells for primary propulsion for larger aircraft, the technology shows great promise in helping to improve environmental performance, and respond to a future where aviation emissions are no longer free.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/2912/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-4-2010/flying-high/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>A survey of airline pilots regarding fuel conservation procedures for taxi operations</title><link>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/2582/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-3-2010/a-survey-of-airline-pilots-regarding-fuel-conservation-procedures-for-taxi-operations/</link> <comments>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/2582/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-3-2010/a-survey-of-airline-pilots-regarding-fuel-conservation-procedures-for-taxi-operations/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 09 Jun 2010 11:17:45 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>swills@russellpublishing.com</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Issue 3 2010]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fuel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ground handling]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Prof. Hamsa Balakrishnan]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Regina Clewlow]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Taxiing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Tom Reynolds]]></category><guid
isPermaLink="false">http://www.internationalairportreview.com/?p=2582</guid> <description><![CDATA[Aircraft taxi operations are a significant source of energy consumption and emissions at airports. In 2007, an estimated 4,000 tons of hydrocarbons, 8,000 tons of nitrogen oxides and 45,000 tons of carbon monoxide were emitted through taxi-out operations at U.S. airports1. These pollutants contribute to low-altitude emissions, directly impact local nonattainment of air pollution standards, and represent an endangerment to human health and welfare.Given increasing fuel prices and concern about aviation-related environmental impacts, airlines have implemented a number of practices to reduce fuel burn during ground operations. ]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/2582/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-3-2010/a-survey-of-airline-pilots-regarding-fuel-conservation-procedures-for-taxi-operations/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Paving the way for alternative fuels</title><link>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/2559/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-3-2010/paving-the-way-for-alternative-fuels/</link> <comments>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/2559/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-3-2010/paving-the-way-for-alternative-fuels/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 09 Jun 2010 09:17:32 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>swills@russellpublishing.com</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Issue 3 2010]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI)]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fuel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Heather Haskin]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mark Rumizen]]></category> <category><![CDATA[United States Air Force Alternative Fuels Certification Office (AFCO)]]></category><guid
isPermaLink="false">http://www.internationalairportreview.com/?p=2559</guid> <description><![CDATA[An aviation first: As part of the United States Air Force (USAF) long-term energy vision, the Alternative Fuels Certification Office (AFCO), consisting of a small cadre of systems engineers and managers, was formed to develop and execute repeatable processes to identify viable fuel candidates and certify them for fleet-wide operations. These activities require substantial collaboration with the fuels experts at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), the Air Force Petroleum Agency (AFPET), and the Defense Energy Support Centre (DESC). The AFCO is nearing completion of its original objective of certifying a 50/50 blend of its traditional JP-8 and Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene (JP-8/SPK) by 2011. The synthetic component of this blend is derived using the Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) process that converts coal, natural gas, or biomass to fuel. Concurrently, the AFCO has undertaken a newer initiative to certify all platforms on a 50/50 blend of JP-8 and Hydro-processed Renewable Jet fuel (JP-8/HRJ), biofuels derived from plant or algal oils or animal fats, by 2013.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/2559/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-3-2010/paving-the-way-for-alternative-fuels/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Developments in jet fuel handling</title><link>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/2552/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-3-2010/developments-in-jet-fuel-handling/</link> <comments>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/2552/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-3-2010/developments-in-jet-fuel-handling/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 09 Jun 2010 08:53:42 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>swills@russellpublishing.com</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Issue 3 2010]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Energy Institute (EI)]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fuel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Martin Hunnybun]]></category><guid

One of the most common options is to blend Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) (derived from rape seed, palm, soy, tallow etc) into automotive diesel to produce a ‘biodiesel blend’. The European standard for automotive diesel (EN 590) currently allows up to 7% FAME, while in the USA, the ASTM specification for on- and off- road diesel (ASTM D975) allows up to 5% FAME. Other ASTM specifications cover 6 – 20% biodiesel blends.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/2552/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/issue-3-2010/developments-in-jet-fuel-handling/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>AIRE: Reduced noise and emissions on first complete transatlantic green flights</title><link>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/2075/airport-news/aire-reduced-noise-and-emissions-on-first-complete-transatlantic-green-flights/</link> <comments>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/2075/airport-news/aire-reduced-noise-and-emissions-on-first-complete-transatlantic-green-flights/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 08 Apr 2010 14:32:20 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>pmccartney</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Airport news]]></category> <category><![CDATA[AIRE]]></category> <category><![CDATA[European Commission]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fuel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Patrick Ky]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SESAR]]></category><guid

Existing legislation includes Directive 2003/30/EC of the European Parliament, the Energy Independence and Security Act (US), and the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (US). In addition, Canadian provincial governments have legislation planned. Mandates such as these have made biodiesel and ethanol two of the most widely accepted biofuels in the world today. Unfortunately, biodiesel and jet fuel can be incompatible, and cross-contamination is a threat facing the aviation industry.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.internationalairportreview.com/180/international-airport-review-magazine/past-issues/fame-airport-aviation-fuelling/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
