Story summary
- Researchers at the University of Surrey have developed the Air Travel Passenger Dynamic Emissions Calculator (ATP-DEC) to assess aviation's climate impact.
- ATP-DEC accounts for non-CO2 emissions, fuel production, and operational inefficiencies, showing a flight's climate impact can exceed estimates by over double.
- The tool aims to boost transparency for airlines and regulators, enabling better climate decisions.
- The study appears in Nature Communications Earth and Environment.
