Hupe, Victor (author)Companies let their employees take short-haul flights for business trips while there are alternative, more sustainable, modes of transport. Understanding the motivation of the company and their employees for flying is essential to create a design solution which could change their behavior. To reach the goal of a maximum global temperature rise...master thesis 2022

Rutten, Sam (author)Within this thesis report the transition to LH2 infrastructure at the airport is tackled. Specifically, how the airport can develop and adopt the infrastructure needed for LH2 supply logistics, storage, and refueling is researched. This process can be defined as a socio-technical transition in which a new niche technology (LH2 aviation...master thesis 2022

van Bruggen, Arthur (author)Social and political pressure has made emissions an increasingly important subject for companies. The extension of the sustainability reporting mandate by the EU has increased the necessity for carbon transparency for companies in Europe. Warehousing and distribution account for 13\% global supply chain emissions and can be an important factor...master thesis 2022

de Haas, Victor (author)The airline industry is growing and so are its emissions. To diminish the airline industry's increasing emissions, carbon-neutral growth for this industry is adopted. Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) are considered an important aspect to comply with these goals and a large upscale of the SAF industry is needed. Therefore, the European Commission...master thesis 2022

Antony Joseph Valiaveetil, AJV (author)The aerospace industry and TU Delft have set stringent climate goals for themselves and with each passing year, these goals seem all the more implausible. While sustainability in the aerospace industry is envisioned as futuristic, circular, net-zero aircraft, the change rarely comes from the grassroots. Although these technological solutions are...master thesis 2022

van Ophuizen, Junior (author)One of the major emitters of CO2 is the aviation industry which keeps growing. A solution to reduce carbon emissions is to focus on Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) such as biofuels or synthetic fuels or to focus on sustainable alternative technologies such as electric-powered or hydrogen-powered aircraft. A literature review is conducted that...master thesis 2022

Megill, Liam (author)The aviation industry continues to contribute to anthropogenic climate change. Recent studies have shown that the total radiative forcing from aviation is around three times higher than that from CO<sub>2</sub> alone. To account for the full effect of aviation, climate metrics are needed, which equate the environmental impact of various...master thesis 2022

Maas, J.B. (author)Safety is crucial in aviation. This includes the category of General Aviation, which consists of flights that are not performed by commercial airliners. Many of these vehicles are small in comparison to the aircraft used for commercial transport, providing seats for two or four persons. Despite their limited size, accidents involving General...doctoral thesis 2022
