Abstract

The focus of this paper is to find out the impact made by aircraft on the environment of Europe. In this paper, we will focus on how far aircraft are influencing and contaminating the environment. The paper cover-up the various case studies conducted by different authors to estimate the impact by various universal indicators and to ascertain the level of the impact made by the particular factors on the environment and comparing the EU facts and figures with that of policies put forward by the various governments which are U.S and Australia. Paper evaluates the facts and figures to identify the ascertain the environmental hazards caused by aircraft across the globe. The aviation industry is presently responsible for 12% of worldwide CO2 dis-charges. Aviation could represent up to 24% of worldwide outflows by 2050 except if there is a critical innovative move. Surveys hydrogen's potential as a greener method of impetus and talks about the significant difficulties for its appropriation.

Some studies find several broad ways in which the aviation industry’s emissions could be decreased. The main advantage of using hydrogen technology is zero emissions. In addition, the hydrogen needed for operation is generated from renewable sources. Another advantageous hydrogen fuel cell vehicle and the growing interest is that it has comparable properties to conventional vehicles.
