Net Zero Strategies in Aerospace and Defense – Strategic Intelligence

Net Zero Strategies in Aerospace and Defense Strategic Intelligence Report Overview

Companies achieve net zero emissions by cutting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to as close to zero as possible, with any remaining emissions then “offset.” Commercial aviation and military operations are particularly significant contributors to global emissions. Hence, reducing them would go a long way towards achieving national net zero objectives. Alternative propulsion methods will play a central role in decarbonizing the aerospace and defense sector, particularly sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs). Adopting alternative propulsion methods should be central to the net zero strategies of end users such as militaries and commercial airlines.

The Net Zero Strategies in aerospace and defense strategic intelligence report provides an insight into the key strategies that companies and end users in the sector are adopting. The report also highlights the challenges that the sector faces. Furthermore, the emissions data of leading companies in the sector, and the emissions reduction and net zero strategies that these companies have committed to are provided.

Net Zero Strategy – Alternative Propulsion

Fuels that are derived from sources other than petroleum can be called alternative fuels. E-fuels, electric propulsion, and nuclear propulsion are the types of alternative fuels used.

E-Fuels: They are made by synthesizing hydrogen extracted from water through a process of electrolysis and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The synthetic liquid that is created is easy to store and transport and helps to reduce vehicle emissions. Difficulties with capturing and storing hydrogen and directly capturing carbon dioxide means that e-fuel production cannot fully replace fossil fuels. However, e-fuels can be blended with conventional fossil fuels, reducing the reliance on fossil fuels.

Net Zero Strategy – Supply Chain Domestication

Supply chain domestication involves relocating the activities and processes that organizations perform to manufacture and deliver goods and services to within a country’s own borders. The key technologies of supply chain domestication involve 3D printing and Carbon capture and storage (CCS). It reduces upstream and operational emissions by decreasing the need for international shipping. Furthermore, it can improve regulatory adherence and accountability by making companies answerable to a single regulatory body.

Net Zero Strategy – Design and Engineering Innovation

Blended wing designs offer several advantages for achieving net zero targets. For example, combining the lower drag and improved lift characteristics of ‘flying wing’ designs, such as the   B-2 stealth bomber, with the fuselage principals of conventional commercial jet aircraft. Ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) are made of matrices of ceramic fibers, often carbon-silicon carbide (SiC) or aluminum-based. The main advantages of CMC components are they are one-third of the density of their traditional metallic counterparts and are more heat resistant.

These design and engineering innovations can make essential contributions to the decarbonization efforts of the aerospace and defense sector. They work in combination with other emissions-reducing technologies and alternatives such as SAFs and 3D printing. Blended wing designs do not yet exist beyond prototypes. However, when developed further, they have the potential to play a leading role in the decarbonization of the commercial aviation sector in particular.
