Highlights Climate impact analysis of air transport from Germany. Scenario dependent forecast of passenger flights from Germany. Scenario dependent forecast of specific emissions by traffic regions. Focus on both CO2 and NOx emissions. Forecast of climate impact effects for three scenarios up to the year 2100.

    Abstract Transport is considered to be a major contributor to emissions, resulting in a deterioration of local air quality and contributing to global climate change. The present paper focuses on how passenger flights departing from German airports contribute to global climate change. We describe in detail, how traffic forecasts for three scenarios entitled Reference, Free Play and Regulated Shift have been developed and how the resultant emissions have been quantified. Subsequently, we applied a climate model, providing insights into the very long-term climate effects under different assumptions on emissions up to the year 2100. The modelling framework shows that the development of emissions results from complex interactions of demand development and supply decisions, which highly influence the climate impact. With this paper, we show that an integrated, multi-disciplinary analysis can create valuable indicators and advice for transport policy decisions.
