DESCRIPTION:viation is presently responsible for 2-3% of global carbon emi
 ssions. The majority of these comes from long-distance routes\, on which o
 nly liquid fuels are viable due to their high energy density. Therefore\, 
 more energy efficient aircraft powered by non-fossil fuels are currently u
 nder development.\n\nIn order to assess the economic\, technical and envir
 onmental viability of these future aircraft-fuel-combinations\, accurate l
 ife-cycle assessment models are required.\nPresently\, such models poorly 
 capture the underlying physics of aircraft. In order to accurately predict
 ion future emissions\, models must consider physical limits in both aircra
 ft efficiency and fuel production pathways. Michael Weinold\, a doctoral s
 tudent at ETH Zurich and Paul Scherrer Institute is working on such models
  to improve the accuracy and precision of life-cycle assessment forecasts 
 of future air transport systems. He will present recent progress in dis-ag
 gregating aircraft energy efficiency\, limits for future efficiency and hy
 brid approaches to life-cycle assessment of non-fossil fuels.\n \n\nTiming
