Under the looming climate crisis, public concerns have been raised regarding the environmental impacts of private jet flights. Electric aircraft are currently considered one of the most encouraging technological keys to significantly reducing the environmental impacts of aviation. This research aims to study the replacement of currently used business jets with fully electric aircraft. This study is based on actual flight data of a European business carrier. The carbon dioxide emissions reduction potential for different aircraft ranges was estimated. Obtained results showed that with fully electric aircraft the studied business carrier could significantly reduce its annual emissions by up to 93%. On a per-passenger basis, the emissions could decrease from 6,787 g of carbon dioxide equivalent per passenger kilometre to 449 g. However, as electric aircraft will operate at a slower speed than business jets, flight times would increase by 10–41 min, depending on the distance.

The emissions reduction potential of substituting short-haul flights with non-high-speed rail (NHSR) : The case of Finland
Baumeister, Stefan; Leung, Abraham (Elsevier, 2021)Replacing short-haul flights with high-speed rail (HSR) has been widely discussed as one solution to mitigate the climate change impacts of aviation. However, although HSR can provide travel times similar to those provided ... -
The emission reduction potentials of First Generation Electric Aircraft (FGEA) in Finland
Baumeister, Stefan; Leung, Abraham; Ryley, Tim (Elsevier, 2020)Under the looming climate crisis, aviation needs to find new solutions to cut its greenhouse gas emissions. One pathway towards zero emissions is the use of electric aircraft. While current battery technology will not allow ... -
The emission reduction potential of electric transport modes in Finland
Jenu, Samppa; Baumeister, Stefan; Pippuri-Mäkeläinen, Jenni; Manninen, Aino; Paakkinen, Marko (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2021)The transportation sector has become the fastest growing source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. One solution to mitigate the impacts is a shift towards electric modes. Where previous studies have only focused on the ... -
Climate Change Mitigation Potentials of Carbon Labels in the Aviation Industry
Baumeister, Stefan (Nova Science Publishers, 2018)This chapter discusses the climate change mitigation potentials of carbon labels in the aviation industry. As this study shows, there are significant differences in the environmental performance of individual flights, ... -
Replacing short-haul flights with land-based transportation modes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions : the case of Finland
Baumeister, Stefan (Elsevier BV, 2019)Even though air travel often provides the fastest transport option, it also has the highest climate impact. Especially on long-haul trips, an aircraft usually represents the only feasible option. Nevertheless, aircraft are ...
