上个世纪，欧洲商业航空蓬勃发展，但其代价是大气中温室气体和二氧化碳排放量增加，导致环境恶化。然而，对净零排放的呼声迫使该行业的供应链到 2030 年将温室气体排放量至少比 1990 年的水平减少 55%，并在 2050 年实现二氧化碳零排放。这项研究探讨了欧洲通往绿色商业航空供应链的环境可持续性之路。在文献和相关文件审查的推动下，提出了两项主张，以引导人们对污染与商业航空供应链之间的关系以及为实现环境可持续性而采取的行动之间的关系的看法。在半结构化访谈中，十七名航空航天员工认可了飞机生命周期四个阶段中商业航空供应链中的污染源，包括原材料提取、制造、地面和飞行运营以及服务结束。他们建议通过广泛部署创新技术，从改造机身到更换航空燃料、利用替代推进系统、采用循环制造以及改善空中交通管理等，向绿色商业航空转型。
The last century has witnessed European commercial aviation flourishing at the cost of environmental degradation by boosting greenhouse gas and CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. However, the outcry for net-zero emissions compels the sector’s supply chain to a minimum 55% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions below the 1990 level by 2030 and zero CO2 emissions by 2050. This study examines a European environmental sustainability path toward a green commercial aviation supply chain. Driven by literature and a review of related documents, two propositions were advanced to orient perspectives on the relationship between pollution and the commercial aviation supply chain and actions being taken toward environmental sustainability. In semi-structured interviews, seventeen aerospace associates endorsed pollution sources in the commercial aviation supply chain during the four stages of the aircraft life cycle, including extracting the raw materials, manufacturing, ground and flight operations, and end-of-service. They recommended transitioning into green commercial aviation through the widespread deployment of innovative technologies, from modifying airframes to changing aviation fuel, utilizing alternative propulsion systems, adopting circular manufacturing, and improving air traffic management.
