Study on measurement method of aero-engine life cycle carbon emission

Abstract

Aviation industry is one of the eight key industries of carbon emission. The carbon emission of aviation industry is mainly affected by the carbon emission of aero-engine. Therefore, it is urgent to carry out the research on the measurement method of aero-engine carbon emission. The life cycle assessment is used as a quantitative method for the carbon footprint of aero-engines. The life cycle carbon emissions of aero-engines are divided into fuel cycle carbon emissions and material cycle carbon emissions, and statistics are carried out separately. The aero-engine system boundary is divided, the data collection that should be carried out in each stage is proposed, and the data is required. A relatively complete set of aero-engine carbon emission measurement method is obtained. The method obtained in this paper can comprehensively evaluate the carbon emissions of aeroengines from the perspective of life cycle, which can provide guidance for the measurement of carbon emissions of aeroengines throughout the life cycle, and provide a theoretical basis for emission reduction from the perspective of fuel and material.
