IAN COSTA-ALVES’S THESIS ON HOW TO REDUCE THE CLIMATE IMPACT OF AVIATION
Ian Costa-Alvès’s thesis, one of eight to carry out an ISA-labelled PhD label in 2023, aims to improve Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) through the use
He has developed and integrated cost models to assess the economic impact of certain decarbonization measures, such as the use of sustainable aviation fuels or modified-performance aircraft.
Following a research stay at TU Delft, he also set up an open-source database with researcher Junzi Sun, estimating the geographical distribution of air traffic and associated emissions (https://journals.open.tudelft.nl/joas/article/view/7201). A specific tool, AeroSCOPE, has been developed to explore and visualise this database. The ultimate aim of this work is to optimise the technical and economic performance of different regional or global scenarios on the AeroMAPS platform.
Antoine is supervised by Gilles Lafforgue from Toulouse Business School and Scott Delbecq and Thomas Planès from ISAE-SUPAERO. The thesis is funded by ISAE-SUPAERO and the Occitanie Region

In 2021, we released CAST, an open-access academic tool from ISAE-SUPAERO to model transition scenarios for the airline industry. Today, CAST is evolving into AeroMAPS.
In 2019, aviation was responsible for 2.6% of world CO2 emissions as well as additional climate impacts such as contrails. Like all industrial sectors, the
