System for assessing Aviation's Global Emissions (SAGE). Version 1.5 : global aviation emissions inventories for 2000 through 2004
Year: 2006
Type: article
Abstract: The United States (US) Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Office of Environment and Energy (AEE) has\ndeveloped the System for assessing Aviation’s Global Emissions (SAGE) with support from the Volpe National\nTransportation Systems Center (Volpe), the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Logistics\nManagement Institute (LMI). Currently at Version 1.5, SAGE is a high fidelity computer model used to\npredict aircraft fuel burn and emissions for all commercial (civil) flights globally in a given year.\nThis means that the model is capable of analyzing scenarios at from a single flight to airport, country,\nregional, and global levels. SAGE is able to dynamically model aircraft performance, fuel burn and\nemissions, capacity and delay at airports, and forecasts of future scenarios. FAA’s purpose in developing\nSAGE is to provide the international aviation community with a tool to evaluate the effects of various\npolicy, technology, and operational scenarios on aircraft fuel use and emissions. FAA is committed to the\ncontinued development and support of SAGE. Although the results from the model have been made available\nto the international aviation community, SAGE is currently an FAA government research tool and has not\nbeen released to the general public.\nSAGE Version 1.5 has been used to generate global inventories of fuel burn and emissions for years 2000-\n2004. These historical inventories were developed by modeling high-resolution gate-to-gate movements of\nall global commercial flights in each year. This report presents the inventory data in various forms and\nalso provides derivative metrics and comparative assessments.\n
