    Brief

    This contract comprises three integrated work packages designed to support aviation sector decarbonization efforts. Work Package 1 focuses on developing policy options to increase demand for greenhouse gas removal (GGR) technologies within the aviation industry. Work Package 2 involves creating a comprehensive dataset of updated greenhouse gas (GHG) savings data for various sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production pathways, enabling evidence-based decision-making. Work Package 3 addresses the modeling of non-CO2 aviation impacts, such as nitrogen oxides and contrails, which contribute to total radiative forcing. Suppliers should have expertise in aviation policy, sustainable fuels analysis, climate science, and carbon accounting methodologies. This work will inform policy development and industry strategy for reducing aviation's environmental footprint.
