Decarbonization with the Help of Artificial Intelligence – One of the Priorities of International Civil Aviation

The article is devoted to the analysis of the role of the International Civil Aviation Organization in solving the problem of global warming, one of the main causes of which is considered to be the increase in greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, highlights directions for achieving the goal of decarbonization of civil aviation by 2050. An analysis of aviation experts' proposals for reducing CO₂ emissions through AI was conducted, which can help reduce the environmental impact of aviation, improve aircraft and engine technologies, use sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), implement economic measures, and improve air traffic management and aircraft operations. Harnessing the power of AI to develop more efficient aircraft and engines will help bring zero-emission aircraft to market by 2035. An important area of carbon reduction is the ability of airports to provide clean airspace. Airports Council International has set high standards for reducing absolute carbon emissions. ACI and its member airports have already committed globally to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050, with the support of governments. Ukraine has undertaken international legal obligations to implement a program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, which are mandatory for implementation after the restoration of airport infrastructure destroyed as a result of the Russian invasion, in particular, obtaining Airport Carbon Accreditation. It is argued that research into AI capabilities, technological advancements, infrastructure development and operational improvements, and collaboration between governments and industry stakeholders are crucial to creating the necessary foundation to achieve decarbonization goals.
