Content: Dubai: Qatar Airways and Airbus have moved on from their dispute over the A350s and undertaken a repair project to get the planes back in the skies, according to a senior official with the European aircraft maker.

Mikail Houari, President of Airbus’ Africa and Middle East operations, stressed that the settlement was not an admission of liability for either party. He also projected short-term pressures to air traffic because of a bleak global GDP outlook.

IATA, in its December report, said international traffic in 2022 climbed 152.7 per cent vs 2021 and reached 62.2 per cent of 2019 levels. How do you see the trend holding up in 2023?

Also read

Air traffic has been recovering continuously since travel restrictions were lifted, with a few notable exceptions. We expect short-term pressures from limited global GDP outlook, fluctuations in oil price and higher inflation, but these are likely to normalise within a few years. According to our latest forecast, demand for passenger traffic will grow annually by 3.6 per cent over the next 20 years.

According to your new annual report, gross commercial aircraft orders increased to 1,078 compared to 771 in 2021. Any projections for 2023?

Clearly, there is demand for Airbus products as demonstrated by the strong order book. While orders will remain strong, we can't expect every year to be a record one. The Airbus backlog stands at over 7,200 aircraft.

Assuming no additional disruptions to the world economy, air traffic and our ability to deliver products and services, our target is to achieve 720 commercial aircraft deliveries in 2023.

Airbus and Qatar Airways recently settled their dispute over the grounded A350 jets. How was this agreement reached?

Qatar Airways and Airbus are pleased to have reached an amicable and mutually agreeable settlement in relation to their legal dispute over A350 surface degradation and the grounding of A350 aircraft. A repair project is now underway and both parties look forward to getting these aircraft safely back in the air.

The details of the settlement are confidential and the parties will proceed to discontinue their legal claims. The settlement agreement is not an admission of liability for either party. This agreement will enable Qatar Airways and Airbus to move forward and work together as partners.

What kind of delays are you facing because of labour shortages affecting European countries right now?

We have moved from demand to supply pressures. The uncertainties along the supply chain are likely to continue for some time. But we also see that the overall supply chain challenges appear to be stabilising.

We maintain our assessment that the situation on the supply side will remain difficult in 2023. We have taken strong measures to deal with this additional complexity and to protect our ramp-up.

After 18 months of stability, our suppliers have transitioned from a full COVID-19 crisis mode to a ramp-up mode. This happens in a context of high prices, low stocks and re-hiring. We provided more visibility to suppliers than before - and this also gives us better visibility on their side for potential operational difficulties.

What’s next in the partnership with Etihad with respect to the A350?

Airbus’ Sustainability Engagement Program aims to investigate ways of improving aviation’s environmental performance, by providing a holistic view of short and long-term initiatives surrounding the Airbus fleet.

The Airbus A350 lies at the base of the ‘Sustainability50’ program, a partnership with Etihad, formed in 2021 to support the UAE’s road to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. The A350-1000 is setting new standards in air travel, with a 25 per cent reduction in fuel burn and emissions.

As part of our partnership with Etihad, we are working on exploring channels of cooperation in various areas such as sustainable aviation fuel, waste and weight management, and data driven analysis etc.

Are similar alliances in the works with other regional airlines such as Emirates?

Airbus is working towards the decarbonisation of aviation and is fully aligned with other industry actors. The journey to achieve Net Zero requires collaboration and investment and we are always open to opportunities and partnerships that have the potential to advance the decarbonisation of the aviation industry.

How much time do you anticipate it will take global airlines to fully transition to sustainable aviation fuel?

Over 100 million litres of SAF were produced in 2021 and according to IATA, more than 50 airlines around the world have experience with SAF. SAF can reduce emissions by up to 80 per cent on average during its full lifecycle.

The main challenge remains the emergence of a market to generalise the use of SAF. SAFs would have to be massively scaled up, and this could require investment anywhere from $10 billion to as much as $40 billion and upwards.

Currently, all Airbus commercial aircraft are capable of flying with an up to 50 per cent SAF blend mixed with kerosene and are targeted to be capable for 100 per cent SAF use in flight by the end of this decade.

Are all airlines, governments and fuel suppliers prepared for this transition?

This is a journey that all industry stakeholders have to collaborate on to achieve the desired outcome. There is a rising momentum in the aviation sector as governments and airlines align sustainability goals. We are already seeing governments and private sector undertake projects and announce initiatives to enhance sustainability (and) decarbonise the sector.

Which are the key markets that are specifically buying the A350?

We currently have 925 A350s on order from 54 customers. Qatar Airways is the largest operator of the A350, but we expect there to be ongoing demand for the aircraft as regional airlines move towards fleet modernisation and undertake carbon reduction initiatives.

The A350 family is a leader in sustainability fitted with the latest innovations that are redefining the future of flying. The A350 offers 25 per cent less fuel burn and CO2 emissions and 50 per cent less noise footprint compared to previous generation aircraft. Its versatility is evident with its flying range of up to 9,700nm/18,000 km.

What steps has Airbus taken to reduce its carbon footprint? Do you think it’s justified to target the aviation industry alone for carbon dioxide emissions?

We want to take a leadership position and are accelerating our own decarbonisation journey. We aim at reducing our industrial environment footprint at sites worldwide, developing a more circular model to optimise use of materials and reduce use of critical resources, and enhancing our product and services portfolio to positively contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation.

We have the ambition to develop the world’s first zero-emission commercial aircraft by 2035 to ensure future generations can enjoy flying as much as we do. The aviation industry represents approximately 2.5 per cent of global human-induced CO2 emissions, surpassing the emissions contribution from many other industries.

We believe that aviation is not the problem but emissions are. Aviation will remain an essential mode of travel for the world, while being a crucial sector to many economies of the world in terms of its contribution to the gross domestic production.

Air India will acquire 250 Airbus aircraft. Over what duration will these planes be delivered?

Content: Boeing cuts its forecast for commercial aircraft demand
Despite widespread concerns, demand for cargo planes remains strong
Ayman Azzam
8: 47 PM, Sunday, 17 Jul 22
Boeing has cut its forecast for commercial aircraft demand for the coming decades as deliveries are weighed down by the prospect of slowing global economic growth and uncertainty about Russia.
In its latest long-term market estimate, Boeing expects manufacturers to deliver about 41,170 new aircraft to customers through 2041.
This is a slower pace than forecast a year ago, when the company estimated 43,610 deliveries over a 20-year period to 2040 (a 5.5% decline).
Boeing also cut its forecast for annual passenger traffic growth over the next 20 years from 4% to 3.8%.
The discounted outlook sheds light on how geopolitical and economic disruptions are permanently affecting the commercial aviation industry.
Boeing ’ s rival Airbus similarly lowered its forecast for travel demand for the next two decades, citing rising energy costs as a key factor behind the decline.
Reduced demand for new aircraft
Darren Holst, Boeing ’ s vice president of commercial marketing, said his company also expects lower global economic growth until 2041 than last year ’ s forecast, which also translates into lower demand for new aircraft.
The latest forecast by the U.S. planemaker rules out any possible future deliveries to buyers from Russia, which has already been excluded from the global aviation market due to sweeping sanctions imposed by the United States and other countries following its invasion of Ukraine.
Boeing predicted last year that Russian customers would make up about 1,500 aircraft sales over the next two decades.
Holst told reporters before issuing the forecast: “Russia is not a viable market for us. ”
Demand for commercial aircraft
Despite widespread concerns, demand for cargo aircraft remains strong, with the global fleet expected to grow to 3,610 aircraft in 2041, from 2010 aircraft in 2019.
Sales of new aircraft are expected to be strong over the next decade, as airlines strengthen their fleets to meet the burgeoning demand for air travel after the coronavirus pandemic.
Based on this estimate, Boeing estimates that airlines will need 19,575 new aircraft by 2031, compared to 19,330 by 2030 as projected last year.
Holst said: “There is a huge amount of airport runways waiting for the travel industry to return to normal levels. ”

The Asia-Pacific region is the largest market for single-aisle aircraft, with Europe driving growth.

Original title: Future aviation, open up imaginary space
What will the future of aviation look like?
From materials to engines, from communications to energy power, people are guessing where the disruptive changes will occur? In general, material manufacturing is the foundation of aviation development, energy power has a decisive impact on aircraft, and information electronics will change the traditional aviation form in an all-round way......
1.
Aircraft development aimed at high energy, intelligent
The "double carbon" goal requires civil aviation to develop in the direction of green and low-carbon, and civil aviation will be more environmentally friendly, safer and more economical.
The general trend of the development of aviation science and technology is the compound development of high energy and intelligence, high energy for "body" and intelligence for "soul".
High energy is more control of energy and matter, which determines the physical boundary that aviation equipment can achieve, and has a direct impact on performance indicators such as flight height, range, speed and mobility.
Intelligence is the control of the information domain and the cognitive domain, which determines the ability of aviation equipment to use, and can achieve higher efficiency and more accurate decision-making.
Aviation high energy mainly includes high kinetic energy, high energy supply, efficient energy use and so on.
The high kinetic energy mainly corresponds to the technical innovation direction of the aviation platform.
High-speed flight, ultra-maneuverability, long-time stagnation and so on are the core demands of its development, speed from subsonic, supersonic to hypersonic, altitude from low altitude, hollow to high altitude, near space, time from hours, tens of hours to days and so on.
High kinetic energy can play an important role in the field of aviation, such as the application of low-noise supersonic civil aircraft.
High energy supply mainly corresponds to the technical innovation direction of aviation power.
Large push weight ratio, high fuel efficiency, high power extraction and new energy system are becoming the main development trend of aviation power system, including the active flow control of intake and exhaust, high pressure ratio gas pressure system, new concept power system and other related technologies are currently the hot direction of aviation power research.
In addition, electric aircraft and hydrogen-powered technology will also become the cutting edge of low-carbon, creating greater environmental and economic potential for the future civil aviation industry.
The efficient use of energy mainly corresponds to the technical innovation direction of aviation electromechanical.
Among them, multi-electric / all-electric technology, whole-machine energy optimization, and transformative energy transmission and storage will play a key role in the aviation power electrical system, thereby greatly improving the performance level of the aircraft.
The core of aviation intelligence is to make the aircraft have the ability of autonomous perception, autonomous decision-making, autonomous execution and autonomous evolution.
The autonomous sensing enables the aircraft to classify and identify complex environments and targets through the fusion of various sensors and data, and generates information that can be used for decision-making. Based on the "autonomous genetic evolution" algorithm, the autonomous evolution can make the intelligent aircraft have the characteristics of a living body, and the cognitive decision-making level can evolve in real time through continuous learning, and the ability can be independently improved to cope with a new environment.
It should be said that intelligence will greatly improve the perception, decision-making, execution, and learning capabilities of aircraft in different environments, and will open up greater imagination for future aviation.
2. Metamaterials, intelligent structures or will bring about disruptive changes
In the field of aviation, there is a saying that "one generation of materials and one generation of equipment", it can be seen that material properties are crucial to aircraft performance.
In addition, the aviation industry is essentially a high-end equipment manufacturing industry, and manufacturing technology is important for achieving stable large-scale batch production.
With the development of technology, the aviation industry is entering the era of material and manufacturing integration, and it has also made the field of material manufacturing an important source of disruptive technologies.
Metamaterials are man-made materials that achieve supernormal physical properties by artificially designing internal structures, and their basic structural unit scale is smaller than its wavelength, which can control the propagation of light waves, radio waves and mechanical waves. Typical metamaterials include left-handed materials, photonic crystals and phonon crystals.
Left-hand material is an electromagnetic metamaterial that can regulate and control electromagnetic waves. Its dielectric constant and permeability are both negative values. It has the characteristics of negative refraction, inverse Doppler effect, inverse Cherenkov radiation and subwavelength diffraction. Acoustic metamaterial, its band gap can inhibit elastic waves in a certain frequency range can not propagate, can achieve shock absorption and noise reduction.
Metamaterials enable reverse design from function to structure, which can have a number of potentially disruptive effects in the aviation sector:
— — Construct a metamaterial “invisibility cloak ” and a metamaterial wave-absorbing body that can achieve perfect invisibility, greatly improving the invisibility of the aircraft;
- Manufacturing small RF antennas and super-resolution imaging systems to effectively enhance detection and tracking capabilities;
The coupling design of the planar transmission antenna and the metamaterial can improve the antenna radiation efficiency and reduce the size, and promote the miniaturization and integration of the microwave radio frequency components of aviation equipment.
Intelligent structure technology integrates sensors, drivers and control elements into matrix materials to achieve self-diagnosis, self-adaptation and self-repair functions, which is one of the development directions of advanced aircraft in the future, and the main research directions are intelligent skin and self-adaptive variant structures.
The intelligent skin implanted thousands of micro-computing systems with sensing, processing and communication capabilities only the size of rice grains into the material, cooperatively sensing the surrounding environment, thereby regulating the overheating and overstrain areas, or adjusting the internal electromagnetic parameters, reducing electromagnetic scattering signals to achieve stealth functions.
The intelligent skin integrates functional components with the structure, and has functions such as radio detection and energy storage, which has great potential in reducing weight, saving space and improving the stealth performance of the aircraft.
The adaptive variant structure is characterized in that the adaptive variant structure is composed of a processor and a controller, and the processor is connected with the processor.
The intelligent structure is characterized in that the intelligent structure is composed of a wing self-adaptive structure and a wing self-adaptive structure, wherein the wing self-adaptive structure is arranged on the wing self-adaptive structure; the wing self-adaptive structure is arranged on the wing self-adaptive structure; and the intelligent structure is arranged on the wing self-adaptive structure.
Changes in engines and fuels, or will profoundly change the future of aviation
The engine and fuel can be seen as the heart and blood of the aircraft, and disruptive developments in this field will profoundly change the future of aviation.
The application of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is considered to be the most promising technology.
SAF refers to renewable, the use of the process of environmental impact of small aviation fuel, with less carbon emissions, reduce dependence on oil and other non-renewable energy, promote economic development and other advantages, mainly divided into biomass fuel, synthetic fuel, electric energy and hydrogen fuel four.
Due to the problems of high production cost, small production scale, storage and transportation difficulties, sustainable aviation fuel has not been widely used at present.
Sustainable aviation fuel technology has an irreplaceable role in helping to achieve carbon peak carbon neutrality goals and enhance energy security, and can achieve major changes in aviation power systems.
In the future, civil aviation power systems will significantly reduce aviation carbon emissions by using sustainable fuels as turbine engine fuel or directly using fuel cells to power aircraft.
Adaptive variable cycle engine is a next-generation turbofan engine that automatically switches between high thrust and high fuel efficiency modes by adjusting the thermal cycle parameters such as engine duct ratio and total pressure ratio.
The self-adaptive variable cycle engine has good economic performance and wide working range, and can meet various performance requirements, so that the future aircraft presents a multi-mission and multi-purpose development trend.
At the same time, engine technology can be shared on a variety of aircraft, and a series of engines can be derived from the benchmark engine, which can expand the scope of application of the engine and reduce the research and development cost
A rotary detonation engine (RDE) booster combustion in the form of detonation.
The coupling of shock wave and combustion wave is realized in the propagation process of detonation wave. The combustion speed is fast, and the pressure and density after wave are obviously increased.
The utility model has the advantages of simple structure, high specific punching efficiency, wide working area, etc.
Some studies believe that the thermal efficiency of the rotary detonation engine can theoretically increase by 15% compared with the current turbine engine.
In addition to being used as a power device alone, the rotary detonation engine can also be combined with a turbine engine, a ramjet engine and a rocket engine to improve the performance of the original power device.
The rotary detonation engine has become one of the most potential innovators in the field of aeronautical power in the future, and the application prospect is broad.
4. Quantum information, 5G, big data, enabling aviation technology
In recent years, as the research of artificial intelligence technology has entered the third wave, breakthroughs have been made in quantum information, 5G, big data, etc., which has quickly become a hot research direction and an important source of aviation enabling technology.
Brain-computer interaction, also known as brain-computer interface (BCI) technology in the field of aviation has great application value, the world is actively studying. In 2013, the University of Minnesota achieved the first human brain wave control four-axis remote control aircraft; in May 2014, the German "brain flight" program realized the pilot with the brain precision control flight.
Brain-computer interface technology can create a new type of aircraft control.
Perhaps, in the future, the aviation field can directly control the aircraft by the brain, reduce or completely replace the limb operation, and greatly change the traditional man-machine interface.
Perhaps, in the future, the aviation field can learn from the structure and operation of the human brain, develop a new information processing system, and give the avionics system a new function and form.
Perhaps, the future can be combined with virtual reality technology, applied to flight simulation training, can effectively reduce training costs and improve training safety.
In recent years, quantum information technology has made great progress in theory and experiment.
In theory, more advanced theories such as quantum error correction codes have been mastered, which has greatly improved the fault tolerance rate of quantum computing; in experiments, countries have invested a lot of resources in research and development.
Quantum information technology will change the traditional avionics form in an all-round way.
For example, quantum computing superconventional computing power can not only achieve the optimization of aircraft research and development, but also accelerate the training and implementation of artificial intelligence algorithms, and improve the efficiency of system command and decision-making; for example, quantum communication can provide high-speed confidential communication guarantee, and inertial navigation based on quantum gyroscopes can greatly improve the autonomous navigation accuracy of aviation vehicles.
Multidisciplinary cross-field is an important source of disruptive technologies, and interdisciplinary, cross-field integration innovation is also a feature of the aviation field, which makes a number of aviation disruptive technologies reflect the characteristics of cross-integration innovation.
After decades of development, China's aviation industry has made brilliant achievements.
Entering the new era, the exploration and research and industrialization of disruptive technologies is an important support for the realization of aviation power, and it is also an extremely complex system engineering, which requires strategic planning and layout and strategic focus to promote development.
Strengthening the original innovation is the only way to achieve a high level of development in the aviation field in the new era, and taking disruptive technology as the traction is an important grasp of the new era of aviation to achieve lane change and overtaking, and it is necessary to take the initiative to carry out scanning, identification and prediction of aviation disruptive technology, and firmly grasp the pulse of future aviation development.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel Plays Critical Role In The Quest For Net-Zero Carbon Emissions

Greg Fell, CEO, JETNET. We are the trusted source of information and intelligence for the business aviation community.

I was delighted to read that on March 25, 2022, Airbus performed the first A380 flight powered by 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). As Airbus notes in its press statement, the A380 is actually the third Airbus aircraft type to fly on 100% SAF within the past year. These three flights are important data points in the larger picture of aviation progress and innovation.

Wider adoption of SAF is an essential step on our journey to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which are harmful to our atmosphere. Even though business aviation contributes only a tiny fraction (0.04%) of CO2 emissions, I believe we can play a key role in accelerating the transition to SAF. Business aviation contributes $150 billion to the U.S. economy and employs more than 1.2 million people, according to the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA). We have the influence to punch above our weight, and we are uniquely positioned to serve as authentic role models for positive change.

Sustainable aviation fuel sounds too good to be true, but it is true. The great advantage of SAF is that it is safe, certified and ready to use today. It’s a drop-in source of fuel with the potential to reduce the aviation sector’s carbon footprint. That’s why it's important that we, as an industry, champion the production, availability and use of SAF.

SAF is ready for takeoff.

What precisely is SAF? Here’s a handy definition from the U.S. Department of Energy.

“SAF is a biofuel used to power aircraft that has similar properties to conventional jet fuel but with a smaller carbon footprint. Depending on the feedstock and technologies used to produce it, SAF can reduce life cycle GHG emissions dramatically compared to conventional jet fuel.”

The DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy has estimated that the U.S. has the potential to sustainably collect one billion dry tons of biomass each year, enough to produce 50 to 60 billion gallons of low-carbon biofuels.

SAF also provides benefits that go beyond reducing CO2 emissions. According to Neste, the world's leading producer of SAF, not only does SAF reduce GHG by up to 80% compared to fossil jet fuel use, but it also produces lower particulate emissions and less contrail.

Demand is surging, but will supply catch up?

The global market for SAF is expected to grow substantially, driven by demand across every segment of the aviation industry. Bryan Sherbacow, CEO at Alder Fuels, foresees a future in which renewable fuels are the norm and not the exception. The issue isn’t lack of demand. Most of the aviation executives and operators I speak with are genuinely interested in low-carbon fuel.

What’s missing is a coordinated set of targeted economic incentives and regulatory guidelines that will jumpstart the era of broad SAF adaption. In California, operators can take advantage of state and federal incentives to lower the cost of buying SAF. Oregon and Washington reportedly have similar programs in the queue. Ideally, populous states on the East Coast will follow those examples and create their own programs to encourage wider use of SAF.

Net-zero carbon is the goal.

To be sure, SAF is not the only answer to mitigating GHG emissions. Improvements in airframe and powerplant technologies, along with more efficient modes of operation and targeted economic policies, are also part of the solution. In the near future, we’ll probably see more aircraft powered by electricity. Frankly, I look forward to taking short hops around town in an eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) vehicle. Further into the future, we may even see aircraft operating on hydrogen fuels.

But those alternatives are still largely in test mode. SAF, on the other hand, is here today and ready for use in jet aircraft. SAF is a drop-in fuel that requires no special modifications or additional infrastructure to store, deliver or use.

“The development and commercial deployment of SAF offers the most promising opportunity for reducing net GHG emissions from aviation operations,” according to Fueling the Future: Sustainable Aviation Fuel Guide, a report created by the Business Aviation Coalition for Sustainable Aviation Fuel.

In the U.S., SAF is now available mainly on the West Coast. But even if you’re operating from an airport that doesn’t provide SAF, you can still take advantage of it through a procedure called “book and claim," which allows business jet operators to buy SAF at an airport where it isn’t physically available and receive credit for the reduction in carbon emissions.

I’ll leave you with this thought: Business aviation is an admired industry, and our hearts are in the right place. Our quest to achieve net-zero carbon emissions before 2050 is both noble and practical. Let’s use our leadership skills in concert with the global aviation community to get the job done. Right now, we need more states in the U.S. to join the cause and create programs that will spur wider adoption of SAF.

April 22 is Earth Day. But as a What on Earth? reader, you know we celebrate Earth Day all year long.

This week:

  • The airline industry is working on cleaner fuel — but how quickly can it decarbonize flying?
  • 2022 was a hot year for heat pumps
  • Across Canada, 'climate champions' are taking action in their own communities

The airline industry is working on cleaner fuel — but how quickly can it decarbonize flying?

Canadians love to travel, but we know that every flight produces CO2 emissions that contribute to climate change.

While the airline industry currently contributes only 2.5 per cent of CO2 emissions, there's fear that it could increase significantly by the end of the century. The industry is looking at ways to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, and one major pathway is to explore the use of greener fuel. Here's a look at what that means, and what the challenges are.

What is sustainable aviation fuel?

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is fuel derived from agricultural or synthetic materials (such as plants or animal fats) and recycled waste products (such as cooking oils) that can produce kerosene in jet engines. Simply put, it's cleaner fuel.

It is used as a "drop-in" additive to traditional fuels in order to cut CO2 emissions.

While there have been experiments with electrifying smaller planes, the batteries are too large for commercial planes, where every ounce of weight matters. This is why SAF is seen as vital in reducing aviation CO2 emissions.

Since SAF was first used in commercial aviation in 2011, more and more airports and airlines around the world have been integrating the cleaner fuel. The Trudeau International Airport in Montreal began providing SAF in 2016, while Pearson International Airport in Toronto began providing it in 2021. To date, globally, there have been more than 450,000 flights that have used this type of fuel.

Even so, according to a 2021 working paper by the International Council on Clean Transportation, SAF production accounts for less than 0.05 per cent of global jet fuel demand.

What are some challenges?

"The biggest criteria [for SAFs] … is something called freeze point, which is the temperature at which molecules start to solidify," said David Bressler, a professor at the University of Alberta's faculty of agricultural, life and environmental sciences.

Typically, gas-turbine airplanes use fuels called Jet-A or Jet-A1, which are special types developed for the colder temperatures found at higher altitudes. Jet-A fuel has a freeze point of –40 C, while Jet-A1 has a freeze point of –47 C. Jet-B fuel has a much colder freeze point of –60 C. (There are other types of fuel, but these are the most common.)

Replacing traditional kerosene fuel with SAFs means ensuring that the fuel can have similar freeze points. But there are other wide-ranging challenges, says Jim Harris, a partner at the consultancy Bain & Company who specializes in aerospace.

One is getting SAF up to an industrial scale, which Harris says requires a "real learning curve." He noted that historically, ramping up similar chemical processes has taken several generations to get it right.

Then there's the concern over inconsistencies in waste products — such as corn stover — which Harris said makes it more difficult to run at an industrial scale. Another consideration is using agricultural land for jet fuel rather than food. And finally, will the consumer be willing to pay for it?

Harris said that at the moment, the cost of SAF isn't prohibitive, but that's because the amount dropped into regular fuel is just a small fraction.

"But when you start to talk about 40 per cent, 50 per cent, 60 per cent of fuel replacement, that becomes a big deal very quickly," Harris said. "Passengers are very price elastic, and small changes in price equal big changes of demand. And so we are worried that the industry can't simply absorb significantly higher fuel costs and still make travel affordable."

Will the airline industry reach net zero?

Last year, the Montreal-based International Civil Aviation Organization agreed to a "long-term global aspirational goal" of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Transitioning to SAF is a big part of that.

Harris says that while the commitment is shared by the International Air Transport Association, and even companies like Boeing and Airbus, he feels the 2050 target is unlikely to be met.

"The pace of technology evolution … just makes that really hard in this timeframe. Even if you could introduce fully green propulsion in the early 2040s, it won't make up a significant portion of the fleet by 2050 to really matter."

He believes reducing the frequency of air travel, in combination with the development of SAF, may be a better way to hit the target sooner.

"We think a more realistic approach here is that aviation needs to show they're making real progress, they need to show that there's a path."

Richard Killey:

"Great article about how restoring wetlands can save money. For years, I have been noticing construction in certain areas and commenting to my friends that it's a bad idea. Nature does not forget. Especially water tables, etc. I hope studies like the one mentioned in the article will help communities all over the country deal differently with nature when we humans want something more convenient."

The Big Picture: 2022 was a hot year for heat pumps

In many ways, it seems like 2022 was the year that heat pumps reached critical mass, at least in the popular imagination. As the graphic below shows, heat pump sales grew by more than 10 per cent worldwide — and nearly 50 per cent in Europe — according to the International Energy Agency

Heat pumps use electricity to transfer heat in and out of buildings, effectively fulfilling the role of both a furnace and an air conditioner. Increased interest in the technology is largely down to a growing desire to reduce fossil fuel use in residential and business heating. The large jump in heat pump deployment in Europe can be explained by generous government subsidies (particularly in France, Germany and Italy), but Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 is also a major factor. It forced many countries to reconsider their reliance on Russian natural gas, and in March 2022, the European Commission said it would super-charge the heat pump rollout, aiming to double annual installations in the EU over the next five years.

The numbers in Canada aren't as impressive — heat pumps only comprise six per cent of residential heating in this country. But the numbers are higher in the Maritimes (in New Brunswick, it's 32 per cent), and the federal government now provides subsidy programs to help people make the switch.

Hot and bothered: Provocative ideas from around the web

Across Canada, 'climate champions' are taking action in their own communities

Climate change can feel like an impossible problem, with complex solutions out of reach for most of us. But when the What On Earth radio show asked listeners to nominate climate champions in their communities, there was a flood of responses.

From coast to coast, people are striving to make the world a better place with on-the-ground work in their communities. Listeners nominated their partners, family members, colleagues and neighbours for an astonishing variety of climate action.

Here are a few people finding ways to make a difference.

Sunil Singal (photo above) in Vancouver is president of the grassroots, volunteer-led advocacy group Force of Nature Alliance, which was part of the campaign that saved Burnaby's Fraser Foreshore Park from city council's plan to build an organic waste facility on the wetland. Singal spends his evenings on behind-the-scenes work, organizing meetings and campaigns and reaching out to elected officials.

"We're in a climate emergency, so every chance I have, I try to spend as much time as I can working on these things," he told What On Earth host Laura Lynch. "Most elected officials are happy to chat about what your concerns are and how they can address them."

A Williams Lake, B.C.-based team, including songwriter and facilitator Shannon O'Donovan and the young singers and songwriters in the Williams Lake Climate Change Youth Group, were nominated for their song We Can Think It Out, which gives voice to the complex emotions young people feel about climate change.

"I really thought that our song was quite inspiring and I really wanted to be part of something that would help people and keep climate change from destroying our lands," said 11-year-old singer Raven Shepherd.

Justice Morningstar in Ottawa is the manager of the 20/20 Catalysts program at Indigenous Clean Energy, a training program that helps participants move clean energy projects forward in their home communities.

"'It's life-changing' is one of the main things I've heard from all our alumni — that going through the 20/20 Catalysts program has changed their lives completely," she said. "It shifted their mindset and they are able to drive their projects forward in ways that they couldn't even imagine before the program."

Nina Newington, from Mount Hanley, N.S., is an activist who's been arrested for her peaceful efforts to protect old-growth forests from logging.

"I think if there's a way through the climate and biodiversity crisis, it's actually going to take us to a better society," she said. "It's going to take us to a better way of being with each other and a less colonial mindset."

Chris Taggart in Ottawa created the Slack group Electrify 613 and the new website electrific.co to help people share information about how to make their homes more climate-friendly.

"Having kids and then seeing them grow and then seeing the future they're set up to inherit and knowing that we have choices and changes that we can make now to alter that future really inspired me to take some initiative and … try to do something to move things forward," he said.

Claire Kraatz in Calgary is the co-lead of Alberta's chapter of the climate advocacy group For Our Kids and was nominated as a champion for her work on the Alberta campaign to electrify school buses.

"I see myself as a very concerned parent who really just wants to make a small difference and try and push the needle or push that ball up the hill so that once it gets to the top, maybe we can start to see that momentum down the hill," she said.

Bruno Hoffman splits his time between his South Surrey home and his boat in Pender Harbour, B.C., and was inspired by his love of the ocean to create The Green Boater, an online resource for seafarers that includes information about how to reduce emissions at sea — from electric boats to cleaner-burning engines.

"My little part of the world is talking to boaters and seeing if we can just help them do one thing, just change one little thing times a million, and maybe we can have an impact on the ocean," he said.

Andrew Mills from Calgary is the president of the Eco-Solar Home Tour Society of Alberta, which offers free tours of energy-efficient homes around the province.

"It's about changing perceptions," he said. "Even in a province like Alberta, where everybody says, 'Oh, gas is the only way to heat,' you can actually get people looking at renewables, get people looking at their carbon footprint and … going down a path that is a little bit more sustainable."

Liebherr-Aerospace installs hydrogen test bench in its test center in Toulouse

Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse is working on systems and equipment to reduce fuel consumption and to contribute to more carbon-neutral aircraft. An emblematic project consists of using a hydrogen fuel cell power source to generate sufficient electrical power, in the range of 400 kW, to feed all the non-propulsion systems of next-generation aircraft.

Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse is developing this power generation system as part of the France Relance (France Relaunch) plan with the support of the French Civil Aviation Authority (Direction Générale de l’Aviation Civile).

In order to test and assess this solution in a representative environment, Liebherr, supported by the Région Occitanie, recently installed a hydrogen test bench in its test center at its Toulouse site.

This new investment in test facilities will enable Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse to demonstrate the ability to generate electrical power, using fuel cells, to supply the major non-propulsive electrical systems of a new generation single-aisle aircraft, while ensuring the thermal management of the whole (fuel cells and electrical systems).

In addition to these investments in hydrogen, Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse is also developing new systems and equipment with lower emissions, particularly of CO2, and is working with the wider aeronautical industry and other academic institutions to step up development of the systems and equipment needed for the next generation of zero-emission aircraft.

Boeing and Airbus are key players in the global aerospace avionics market.

Boeing chief: Saudi Arabia orders 121 aircraft
The total value of the aircraft was $35 billion.
Posted in: Last Updated:

100% font size
Dr. Brendan Nelson, CEO of Boeing International, said that Saudi Arabia is an important customer for us and a partner of Boeing International, and we are fully committed to supporting it in achieving its ambitious Vision 2030 in the aviation field.
Dr. Brendan Nelson said in an exclusive interview with Al Arabiya.
The Kingdom ’ s main focus for the aircraft it orders is wide-body aircraft, i.e. larger, twin-aisle aircraft such as the 777 and 787.
Advertising material
"The new Riyadh Air has ordered 72 different 787 aircraft, while Saudi Airlines has also ordered 39 787 aircraft, in addition to other options of up to 10 additional aircraft, bringing the total number of aircraft from Saudi Arabia to 121, with a total value of about $35 billion, and we will work to deliver these aircraft on time, overcoming our supply challenges," he said.
"We are now competing with another company to win the Saudi contract to provide 737 slim hull aircraft to Saudi airlines," he said, noting that negotiations on that contract are ongoing so far and are confidential, and we are confident of achieving this because of the reliability of our exceptional aircraft and the appropriate prices we offer to the Kingdom.
“Delivering and delivering the aircraft ordered by Saudi companies on time is very important to us, but we do not seek rapid production at the expense of quality or safety, we are keen to ensure that supply chains match the requirements of delivering the aircraft to Saudi companies, ” he said.
Boeing ’ s outlook for the Middle East
“Our forecast for the Middle East for the next 20 years is that the region will need 3,000 new aircraft, and if we think about it, 8 hours of air travel from any of the major airports in the Middle East will cover 80% of the world ’ s population and 70% of the future economic growth areas in the next 20 years, ” he said.
“With economic growth estimated at 2.7 per cent per annum for the next decade in the Gulf region, air travel will increase by 4 per cent per annum, making the Middle East a very important global customer for Boeing. ”
Chinese Aircraft Manufacturing Company
As for the Chinese aircraft manufacturer, he said, "China is a great power and has re-emerged with a very strong economy, with a population of 1.4 billion people.
We support China ’ s development and construction of its own aircraft, the Comac C919 is a good and safe aircraft in our opinion, and perhaps by 2050 they control 10% of the market.
"But when we think about how big the aviation market is, it means there's extra business for everyone, whether it's Boeing or Comac, and certainly our main competitor."
“Boeing has experienced significant challenges in recent years in terms of accidents as well as the global pandemic, but our current situation is very strong as demand for commercial aviation in particular has risen to record levels as airlines revamp their fleets and the geopolitical environment has significantly increased global investment in defence, ” he said.
US $100 billion
“We expect our profits for 2025 and 2026 to be close to $100 billion, we expect 10% operating profit, and a free cash flow in 2025 and 2026 of about $10 billion, of which we will invest $3 billion in research and development. ”
“We are doing everything we can to decarbonise our industry and industry to achieve sustainable aviation, with aviation accounting for 2.6% of global heating emissions and nearly 12% of transport. ”
We are introducing sustainable aviation fuel as well as electricity, hydrogen and new technologies that improve the efficiency of aircraft performance and the way airlines operate their aircraft, and introducing new technology that helps to completely eliminate carbon emissions.
One of the key technologies is Weske, the urban self-driving vehicle, and we are in the advanced stages of developing the aircraft that will feature the same safety standards as commercial aircraft, and are working with regulators around the world to obtain certification.
We are also working with the US Space Agency to develop aircraft wings that enable them to fly at near the speed of sound along with engine technology from engine manufacturers, which we are confident will result in high air travel efficiency, significant reduction in carbon emissions, and lower fuel consumption, and will launch this aircraft in mid-2030.
And besides, we have a lot of covert military capability work with the Pentagon.
The overall challenges are decarbonising the aviation industry, which is a top priority for Boeing, and there are supply chain challenges that we expect to continue through 2023 and 2024.
To reduce supply chain challenges, we invest our resources to work with our suppliers, replicate supply chains in some regions in response to the geopolitical consequences of Russia ’ s invasion of Ukraine, and introduce new technology to improve supply chain efficiency.
The other challenge we face in general is the labor market. After we emerged from the pandemic, we started to see very tight labor markets in many parts of the world. Recruiting the people we need to meet our customers ’ requirements is a challenge. We are undoubtedly operating in a very complex environment with a major energy transition. In some parts of the world, we face a significant increase in energy prices. A truly global company.
In order to achieve this, we are developing engineering capabilities outside the United States, investing in engineering centers, 17 of which we have around the world now, as well as research and technology centers, as well as contributing to investment in countries with large markets and localizing our business in those countries.
These are some of the challenges we face.

Sustainable Air Travel Could Happen, Although the Options are Challenging

Could we ever fly sustainably? Learn why that answer is yes and what types of fuel could help the environment.

The airline industry spews about 800 megatons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year, roughly 2 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions. There is an increasingly need to decarbonize air travel, but that doesn’t mean that we’ll be cutting the cord on it anytime soon.

Air travel is imperative for global connectivity, with roughly 100,000 flights in transit every day carrying people and goods around the world. Aircrafts come with a lengthy list of qualifications, like the need to be lightweight, fuel efficient, reliable, cost effective, quickly refuelable, and able to fly long distances – it’s not so easy to change them.

The looming question that emerges is: Can flying ever truly be sustainable? Maybe it can, though biofuels are likely a near-term bridge to a future in which aircrafts are powered by hydrogen or even electricity. But none of these options come without their set of challenges.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel

November 2024 marked a milestone in the field of aviation. Virgin Atlantic's Flight100, a Boeing 787, embarked on the world's first transatlantic flight from London to New York powered entirely by biofuel – fuel derived from organic matter rather than fossil fuels.

The fuel, known in the industry as Sustainable Aviation fuel (SAF), is derived from renewable or recycled waste such as corn grain, oil seeds, algae, other fats, oils, and greases, agricultural residues and more. It boasts substantially fewer carbon emissions — up to 70 percent less than traditional jet fuel.

Parallel to the advancements in SAF, H2Fly’s hydrogen-powered four-seater aircraft took to the skies in Slovenia late last year.

“Alternatives for liquid fuels in aviation are largely hydrogen or electrical, but those technologies are nowhere near where we are with SAF,” says Andrew Chen, principal of aviation decarbonization at RMI. “The beauty of SAF is it’s a drop-in fuel,” so it can go into existing aircrafts, says Chen.

What Does SAF Come From?

Flight100 set a record as the longest flight to use 100 percent SAF, challenging the current 50 percent SAF blending limit for commercial flights. Flight100's liquid blend consists predominantly of material from waste fats, and a small portion of synthetic kerosene, a type of jet fuel made from plant sugars.

Although some SAF can be created through the utilization of already-available waste materials, a much larger portion will have to be manufactured. This can be done through growing feedstocks, the organic materials used to produce biodiesel – which can be environmentally taxing in itself.

“You need a lot of land to grow all those crops, there’s only so much waste material that you can make liquid fuels from. You don’t even have enough waste oils from all the world’s restaurants to power one airport,” says Lewis Fulton, director of the Energy Futures Program at the University of California Davis.

Aamir Shams, senior associate of climate aligned industries/aviation at RMI called out the steep competition for feedstocks among industries, and the necessity to explore new feedstocks that do not require land usage – such as algae and camelina.

SAF can also be created using electricity and carbon waste, which Fulton points to as the most feasible long-term option – as they don’t require nearly the land that biofuels do. That is, if they can be accessed at a reasonable price point.

“Then it becomes a question of whether you can get enough CO2 to support the volume that you need. CO2 is expensive,” says Fulton.

Shifting to Sustainable Travel

Biofuels are cheaper to produce, and the manufacturing infrastructure is already in place to do so, making them the near-term alternative that airlines are looking to. As of 2022, over 30 airlines have announced their plans to shift to SAF.

To use hydrogen in an aircraft, it needs to be stored as either a liquid or a gas.

Storing liquid hydrogen requires extremely low temperatures, which complicates its use, but by opting for liquid over pressurized gaseous hydrogen, H2Fly could double its fuel capacity and flying range.

Electric air travel struggles with the same limitations as it relates to flying range. Electric aircrafts already exist and are flying short-distance commercial routes, but Chen says the battery technology won’t be able to sustain medium to long haul flights until at least 2030.

Yet the energy efficiency of battery-powered aircrafts is distinctly advantageous – about 70 percent of the energy used to charge the battery can actually be utilized by the aircraft, whereas hydrogen and synthetic fuel hover at an efficiency of around 20 to 30 percent.

The Costs of Sustainable Flights

With SAF as the leading short-term prospect for an alternative jet fuel, governments, corporations, and airlines are scrambling to create an economic outcome that makes it feasible for the typical consumer.

Traditional kerosene jet fuel in the U.S. retails around $2.85 a gallon, while SAF hovers around $6.69 per gallon. The premium price stems from the scant availability of SAF, paired with the high costs of producing and blending the sustainable fuel.

Even with a prioritization on the cheaper fuels, projections indicate that by 2030, the shift to SAF could translate into an increase in ticket prices ranging from $3 to $14.

However, unlike the technological hurdles that come with hydrogen, “the challenge with SAF is not the technology, it’s the mandates,” says Orlando O. Spencer from OOS Group.

Government policies and shifts in carbon pricing and subsidies could play pivotal roles in narrowing this cost disparity. President Biden created tax credits for farmers using land to create biodiesel, and a target through the U.S. SAF Grand Challenge for the U.S. to produce 35 billion tons of SAF per year by 2050, with a near-term goal of 3 billion by 2030.

And while governments can stimulate production, corporations will need to contribute the bulk of the initial capital to support it. Governments worldwide have begun to recognize the importance of SAF, with mandates in the U.S., U.K., and EU aiming for a 10 percent SAF usage by 2030.

The airline industry emits 800 megatons of CO2 annually, necessitating sustainable aviation technologies and fuels.

NASA partners with Pratt & Whitney to develop low-emission engine tech for sustainable aviation by 2050.

Content: NASA partners Pratt & Whitney to develop low-emission aviation engine tech

Pratt & Whitney will demonstrate the compatibility of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) with advanced combustors for small core engines.

NASA has selected Pratt & Whitney to develop advanced engine technologies to reduce fuel consumption and emissions for next generation single-aisle aircraft. The Hybrid Thermally Efficient Core (HyTEC) project is part of NASA’s Sustainable Flight National Partnership, which will enable breakthrough innovations in support of the aviation industry’s goal to significantly reduce CO2 emissions by 2050.

Through HyTEC, Pratt & Whitney will demonstrate the compatibility of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) with advanced combustors for small core engines. The project includes developing and testing the fuel and air mixers for optimal efficiency and then measuring the emissions and noise emitted using Jet A fuel and high blends of SAF.

In the second phase of the HyTEC project, Pratt & Whitney plans to demonstrate a technology-infused core comprised of a high-pressure compressor, high-pressure turbine, and combustor leveraging successes from the first generation GTF core. This phase is planned for 2024 through 2027 and will provide critical learning and increased maturation of the core prior to the next program launch.

Geoff Hunt, senior vice president, Engineering and Technology, at Pratt & Whitney said “Aviation is moving toward a greener, cleaner future. Our partnership with NASA on HyTEC will allow Pratt & Whitney engineers to explore new technologies that will help make future aircraft propulsion systems even more sustainable.”

In October 2021, NASA awarded Pratt & Whitney two contracts under the HyTEC project to develop technologies for a high-pressure turbine that will include next generation ceramic matrix composites (CMC) materials capable of operating at higher temperatures than current CMCs, environmental barrier coatings, and advanced cooling and aerodynamic approaches that will enable new component designs and efficiencies.

Hunt added that this award helps Pratt & Whitney continue to develop advanced propulsion technologies that will be ready for the next-generation aircraft in the next decade., “The use of SAF blends is increasing today to 50% and will reach 100% within a few years. This is a key pathway to achieving the industry’s goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Our engine technology continues to improve in efficiency – flying further, with more power and on less fuel. ”

Collaboration between Pratt & Whitney and NASA has already led to several key advances in sustainable propulsion technologies in recent decades, including low-pressure-ratio fans, low-emissions combustors and high-performance hot section. These collaborations have a vital role to play towards developing and maturing technologies that will ultimately help make aviation more sustainable environmentally and economically.

Content: A faster, smarter world could rely on UT research into materials that don't yet exist

Ryan Wilusz
Knoxville News Sentinel

The National Science Foundation is again putting its money on the University of Tennessee at Knoxville to shape a new world of technology − one where air travel is faster, batteries last longer and the world's most complex computers can live in your office.

The NSF, which recently awarded $1 million to a UT-led electric vehicle research coalition, is investing $18 million over six years to fund the Center for Advanced Materials and Manufacturing at UT.

The center will focus on two things: creating advanced alloys and ceramics that can withstand extreme environments, and using artificial intelligence to discover, create and understand new quantum materials.

Though it sounds complex, this research could have applications that directly affect Tennesseans' futures. The researchers leading these efforts shared with Knox News some exciting ways the science could be applied to everyday life.

Faster-flight 'journeys' could require new materials

Kate Page, an assistant professor in UT's department of materials science and engineering, is leading the efforts related to alloys and ceramics.

Page told Knox News standard materials can't always withstand high levels of heat and, when it comes to flight, that can be a problem at extremely high speeds.

If the future involves traveling faster and for longer distances, she said, "we'll definitely need completely new materials to accompany us on those journeys."

The same approach could apply to drilling deep into the Earth and journeying deep into the ocean, as highlighted by the implosion of the Titan submersible.

It's not quite clear how Titan lost contact during its journey, Page said, but it conjures a worthwhile point: It's not just vessels that need to be durable in extreme situations, but their computing and communication components as well.

While not as consumer-focused, the area Page is leading also will have a strong focus on applications with nuclear reactors.

In addition to the center operating out of UT's Institute for Advanced Materials and Manufacturing at Cherokee Farm, it also will have space at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Shull Wollan Center.

Computers that can solve the most complex of problems

Adrian Del Maestro, head of UT's department of physics and astronomy, will lead the research related to new quantum materials.

By using artificial intelligence, he told Knox News, researchers should be able to discover and understand new types of materials the human brain can't decipher on its own.

One major area of focus will be finding new materials and techniques to scale-up quantum computers, making them accessible to more consumers.

These types of computers, mostly found at major tech headquarters, are capable of solving problems far more complex than the average consumer computer can handle.

These computers have the potential to discover new drugs and solve the classic traveling salesman problem, in which businesses seek to maximize logistical strategies to save time and money.

This research could also change the way batteries are created through "rational design" − that is, creating a material best-suited for a long-lasting battery rather than selecting from materials that already exist.

Del Maestro said this research also could be applied to navigation in the absence of GPS, which could have applications in future space exploration.

Education through new University of Tennessee research center

The Center for Advanced Materials and Manufacturing will have roughly 10 graduate students joining each area of research, as well as six post-doctoral associates. A research faculty member will be hired for each team, Page said, and more than 200 undergraduates will participate in the center over six years.

"This is going much wider and also deeper into a very specific area of fundamental human interest and need," she said. "And so, the idea is these are extremely complex problems, and they are not best studied by one small group here and one small group there."

UT is among nine institutes equally splitting NSF's $162 million investment in Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers across the country. The UT center plans to launch in September, Page said.

"The centers will engage with local startups and the business community, including those within their respective states, to form partnerships that can take novel materials from the discovery phase to commercialization," according to a news release.

Two Professors at the American University in Cairo Develop an Environmentally Friendly Building System Using Robots
Follow the latest news through the app
Dr. Hanadi Salem, Chair of Mechanical Engineering at AUC, and Director of the Additive Metal Fabrication Laboratory at AUC, and Dr. Sherif Abdel Mohsen, Chair of Architecture and Director of the Robotic Fabrication Laboratory at AUC, designed a system to develop innovative, sustainable and environmentally friendly construction using Additive Manufacturing technology.
The sustainable system developed in the metal fabrication plant by extension at the university relies on metal-based materials and clay as building raw materials, and uses the latest technology of automated deposition to build complex structures that consumes less energy and is close to reducing greenhouse gas emissions as close to zero as possible compared to traditional methods of manufacturing building materials.
Additive Manufacturing uses operable metal wire on construction sites using a robot with mobile robotic arms.
The factory is the first of its kind in Egypt and the Middle East in this field.
Salem explained that additive material manufacturing using clay and metal can produce high value products with minimal waste, high production rates and low cost while using customized and innovative structural designs in less time.
“So combining both clay and metal by additive using a robot in construction engineering reduces carbon emissions because it consumes very low energy making it a clean and environmentally friendly technology, ” says Salem.
Salem reported that manufacturing materials by adding metals reduces energy consumption by 45% and carbon emissions by 95%.
The advanced technology is expected to contribute significantly to construction and architecture, as it is currently used in the construction of towers, bridges, tunnels, complex architectural structures and building facades, especially in the case of site construction.
Although clay has always been an important material in the construction process, the red clay used in the university laboratory is more robust and durable, making it ideal for use in applications that require high performance. “Red fire clay is a high temperature resistant material, consisting of kaolin, felspar and quartz, ” says Abdel Mohsen.".
The uniquely designed clay bricks produced at AUC ’ s robotic manufacturing lab also offer new possibilities for the construction industry, Abdel Mohsen explains that through 3D robotic printing, custom bricks can be produced in unique shapes, sizes, and designs that can be modified according to specific building requirements.
“3D robotic printing is more efficient in producing bricks than traditional methods, because we can do without manual brick molding and burning, and it generates less waste, as any unused material or waste can be recycled and reused easily.
It allows for more control over the production process, contributing to the production of bricks with consistent quality, strength and durability. ”
The use of locally available resources, such as clay materials instead of the traditional bricks available in Egypt, also helps to reach a high level of accuracy when using this modern technology.
Abdel Mohsen added that the use of additive materials manufacturing in the Egyptian construction industry can contribute to providing housing and infrastructure opportunities for a larger segment of the population, in addition to its various positive effects, including job creation, improved efficiency and innovation.
Salem also stressed that besides the positive impact of materials manufacturing by additive on the environment, such advanced technological developments offer opportunities for social advancement based on SMEs.
“Material manufacturing by additive complements and will not replace traditional manufacturing, allowing greater freedom in design, encouraging innovation and positively impacting society in an environmentally friendly manner as well as minimizing the foreign currency crisis.
It will also provide companies with the means to reduce third-party use by developing concepts within companies and shortening the product development cycle. ”
Salem and Abdel Mohsen presented the results of their project at the AUC Green Zone Pavilion at the COP27 Climate Conference last November, which showcased prototypes of innovative and sustainable technologies showcasing AUC ’ s solutions and contributions to combating climate change.
