Measures to manage emissions from aircraft and airport operations : strategies for airports in taiwan

摘要

With the recognition of the importance of issues regarding aviation emissions inrecent years, the International Civil Aviation Organisation has held various meetings andseminars aiming in measures and management of aviation emissions in a global level.The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation also established the Aviation Emissions TaskForce in 2008 to address the issue, organising seminars and conducting aviationemissions management measures survey of economies. More and more airports in theworld have applied various emissions mitigation methods or market-based measures;however, various measures are still under developing. This research aims to investigatethe measures which have been applied worldwide and to evaluate the social costs ofcommercial flights, in order to recommend the potential air pollution mitigation measuresfor airports in Taiwan. The dose-response method is used in estimating the social costs ofaircraft operations; whilst, the multi-criteria analysis is conducted for evaluating thepotential emissions mitigation measures. Taiwan has been keeping up with theinternational trend and has started investigating the issues and their impacts. Continuousefforts are required to ensure the environmental impacts of aviation under control,especially following the international latest development, in order to implement propercorresponding strategies, regulations and measures in the future.
