Air Transport and Energy Efficiency
Open accessAbstract
The air transport sector is enjoying an optimistic growth rate while at the same time eliciting growing concern, due to its environmental impact and its vulnerability with respect to energy security. These issues have put the sector at the forefront of the tide in achieving energy efficiency. Efforts have been made on every front to improve efficiency through better technology, optimized operation, as well as energy-saving infrastructure. This report includes five chapters. Chapter 1 will introduce the air transport energy consumption outlook though the analysis of the growth of air services as well as consumption of fossil fuel-based energy. Chapter two will discuss air transport's impact on the environment and the response and actions from the air transport sector. Chapter three will detail potential energy efficiency gains in aircraft design, air service operation, as well as infrastructure design. The role of the government and private sector in fostering and supporting those energy efficiency gains will also be discussed. Chapter four will enumerate policy options for countries with respect to air transport energy efficiency, focusing on fiscal measures. Finally, chapter five presents an analysis of support and financing measures that can be taken by the World Bank and its member countries. This report compiles a maximum of information on the issues culled from existing research as well as from open sources provided by partner organizations and industry. It aims to guide the air transport industry, policy makers, and development institutions on where to focus their investments or support in developing and emerging markets in order to address the energy and climate change challenges ahead.

Transport fuel consumption in the general transport sector is predicted to decline by 12% by 2035.
“According to Schlumberger [7] the demand for jet fuel and gasoline in the aviation industry has grown by 14% in 2012 compared to 2009, while transport fuel consumption in the general transport sector is predicted to decline by 12% by 2035.”

The unpaginated report description discusses air-transport energy consumption but gives no forecast for fuel consumption in the general transport sector. Searches for a 12% decline by 2035 found no matching passage in our copy; the nearby $12 billion figure concerns potential aviation carbon-charge revenue, not fuel consumption. (LLM, conf=0.70)

The indexed passages show repository information and descriptions of the report, but no finding about aviation jet-fuel and gasoline demand rising 14% from 2009 to 2012. Searches for that figure, those years, and the fuel-demand comparison found no passage addressing it; the passages have no section or page labels. (LLM, conf=0.73)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
