Aviation Campaign
- VTT - Otaniemi, Espoo, Finland
- 30 September - 14 October 2024
PAREMPI project completed two intensive measurement campaigns in October 2024, including a dedicated focus on emissions from the aviation sector. This campaign was held at VTT in Finland, coordinated by a team of 35 experts from VTT, Tampere University, and the Finnish Meteorological Institute in Finland, ONERA in France and IEM in the Czech Republic.
The aviation measurements heavily relied on ONERA’s expertise in simulating representative aircraft exhaust, allowing the team to assess emissions of gases, semivolatiles, particles, secondary aerosols, and biological effects.
An extensive set of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) included in total eight types of aviation fuels and lubricating oils.
Advanced instrumentation was deployed to capture detailed information on secondary particle formation from precursor emissions under varied conditions. This structured approach provided valuable insights into how aviation emissions contribute to secondary aerosols, addressing a critical area in environmental impact research within the aviation sector.Key facts
