The Green Aviation Research and Development Network in February 2020 released results of a study into the potential environmental benefits of 19 technologies being developed with Canadian partners. The non-profit organization was created in 2009 with funding from the Business-Led Network of Centres of Excellence (BL-NCE) of the Government of Canada and from the Canadian aerospace industry. Its aim is to reduce the environmental footprint of the next generation of Canadian aircraft, engines, and avionics systems through these technology projects. In 2014, the second program of the Green Aviation Research and Development Network (GARDN Ⅱ) funded the 19 collaborative research projects with a total value of more than $20 million. These efforts include 27 industrial members and 20 research institutions focusing on quiet, clean and sustainable air transport. This group includes some of Canada's most influential aviation companies like Air Canada, Bell, Boeing, Bombardier, Burloak, Heroux Devtek, Pratt & Whitney and WestJet. The projects are focused on issues like greenhouse gas emissions, fuel burn, noise pollution, non-volatile particulate matter and NOx emissions.
