A Climate Mission for Aviation
Estuaire is a Paris-based technology company on a mission to tackle the environmental impact of aviation head-on. Their decarbonization software is tailored specifically for the aviation industry, processing up to one million flights per day. This massive scale allows them to analyze the CO2, non-CO2, and lifecycle impacts of commercial aircraft flights with unmatched detail. By integrating flight positions, weather data, aircraft ownership, and passenger load factors, Estuaire creates the most comprehensive environmental impact dataset available for aviation. It’s all about measuring the climate impact of aviation — and then doing something about it.
Data-Driven Analytics to Reduce Emissions
When it comes to reducing emissions, Estuaire’s platform offers powerful tools that help clients make smarter, sustainability-focused decisions. Here’s what it brings to the table:
- Monitors the climate impact of aviation, including CO2, NOx, contrails, and the fuel supply chain
- Plans cost-optimized decarbonization journeys tailored to specific needs
- Enables emission reductions starting immediately, with actionable insights
Serving Airlines with Precision
For airlines, Estuaire’s software is a game-changer. It allows them to monitor their global climate impact in real time, helping to save costs on regulatory schemes like the EU-ETS and CORSIA. Plus, airlines can build contrail management programs to tackle one of aviation’s less obvious but significant climate effects. It’s about giving airlines the tools to be proactive and efficient in their sustainability efforts.
Empowering Financiers and Lessors
Financiers and aircraft lessors also benefit from Estuaire’s insights. The platform helps them monitor the climate impact of their aviation portfolios, which is crucial for setting up sustainability-linked financing. Understanding aviation’s climate-related financial liabilities is no longer guesswork — it’s data-driven and transparent. This clarity supports better investment decisions aligned with environmental goals.
Supporting Airports in Environmental Compliance
Airports aren’t left out either. Estuaire’s technology monitors the environmental impact of all flights arriving and departing from an airport, providing the data needed to fully comply with the highest levels of the Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA). This means airports can confidently meet stringent environmental standards and demonstrate leadership in sustainability.
Project Impact on Sustainable Development Goals
- SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy – by promoting sustainable aviation fuels and energy-efficient technologies
