Fort Lauderdale Net Zero Plan 2025

ROADMAP TO NET ZERO  69

AVIATION

Fort Lauderdale is uniquely positioned to impact aviation emissions from the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. Note that aviation emissions are included in the 2019 GHG Inventory as part of Community Transportation and Mobile sources. The modeling team was able to isolate these numbers from the larger category to analyze the impacts of strategies and actions on this category separately from the larger category. The Plan includes initiatives to advocate for more efficient and sustainable aviation technology and the increased use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to reduce emissions.

The interim projections for reduced GHG emissions from aviation improvements are shown in Figure 18 . These percentages represent changes from 2019 baseline GHG emissions and reflect emissions reductions forecasted in the LA scenario, including the increased availability and efficiency of SAF and increased aircraft efficiency. They also reflect the implementation of the sustainable aviation strategies and actions detailed in this Plan. For more details on emissions reductions from each strategy, including projected emissions in MTCO 2 e, see Appendix B, Detailed Interim Goals .
