MONITORING THE INTERNATIONAL TOP 30 AIRPORTS ON
Passengers, Kerosene, CO2, and the actual Starrport potention:
So what would be the savings with a StarrPort compared to the present airports? Here is a calculation of possible yearly savings for the 30 biggest airports (according to ACI data). Those 30 airports are good for 50% of the International Air Traffic.
Key Indicators (2005) International Air Traffic:
- TOTAL PASSENGERS 2.66 billion
- 30 Airport can save 48 billion litres of kerosene yearly, at a cost saving of € 27 billion.
- This 30 Airports emit 300 billion kg CO2 and
-
can save by implementing Starrport 152 billion kg CO2 yearly, trade value € 3 billion.
-
This is two times the Dutch industrial emission rights for 2008-2012
In the table below you will find the data per international airport
First calculations, subject to second opinion;
CO2 trading for aero industry will become hopefully reality after UNCCC meeting in Bali - See http://unfccc.int/2860.php
Global Forecast Starrport influence on International Air Traffic if implemented 2010 - 2015 - 2025 - 2050.
The forecast is based on actual general accepted industry indexess. For 2025 we expect two times more international passengers and in 2050 four times more then in 2005. Starrport is able to save actual near 100 million tonne kerosene at a value of € 54 billion, in 2025 this will be near 200 MT. Due to the fuel price index the saving is € 177 billion.
CO2 saving wil become also for the aero industry an need and chance for emission trading. Starrports can save actual 302 million tonne CO2, in 2025 500 MT, and in 2050 1338 TM CO2. The CO2 emission trading value at the actual (sept. 2007) price of € 20,00 per Tonne is € 576 million. For 2025 we count € 1.9 billion, and in 2050 € 7.7 billion.
Since it will be the overall saving of new starrports with a life time cycle of 40 to 50 year, we calculate also the 43 year savings from 2007 up to 2050, as an indication of total impact on the Global International Air Traffic:
- TOTAL PASSENGERS 285 BILLION;
- TOTAL KEROSENE FUEL SAVINGS 10 BILLION TONNE;
- TOTAL KEROSENE VALUE SAVINGS € 12 TRILLION;
- TOTAL CO2 EMISSION SAVINGS 32,342,000 KTONNE;
- TOTAL CO2 EMISSION TRADING VALUE € 128 BILLION.
The savings per Passenger Ticket vary from
€ 23,06 (2010) to € 62 (2050), with a € 33,39 in 2025:

Oxygen Depletion Facts - stunning calculations from environmental scientist Jim Starry
* 10,000 Gallons of Oxygen are burned for EVERY GALLON OF FUEL used in an engine... a plane or a car, etc.
* 3 Million Gallons of jet fuel are used every DAY at Chicago O'Hare.
Multiply that by 10,000 gallons of Oxygen burned PER GALLON of fuel.
The result: 3 BILLION gallons of OXYGEN are burned per DAY at O'Hare International Airport.
The net result: 3 Billion gallons of Oxygen depleted air are created loaded with at
least 147 types of toxins and pollutants. * One single large airliner uses more Oxygen per HOUR than all of the Earth's Six Billion people breathe during that entire hour.
There are approximately 2,700 Airbusses in flight today - more are on order - bringing the total soon to 4,300

* How Can A Single Gallon Of Gasoline Produce 20 Pounds Of Carbon Dioxide?
It seems impossible that a gallon of gasoline, which weighs about 6.3 pounds, could produce 20 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) when burned. However, most of the weight of the CO2 doesn't come from the gasoline itself, but from the oxygen in the air.
When gasoline burns, the carbon and hydrogen separate. The hydrogen combines with
oxygen to form water (H2O), and carbon combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide
(CO2).
A carbon atom has a weight of 12, and each oxygen atom has a weight of 16, giving each single molecule of CO2 an atomic weight of 44 (12 from carbon and 32 from oxygen).
Therefore, to calculate the amount of CO2 produced from a gallon of gasoline, the weight of the carbon in the gasoline is multiplied by 44/12 or 3.7.
Since gasoline is about 87% carbon and 13% hydrogen by weight, the carbon in a gallon of gasoline weighs 5.5 pounds (6.3 lbs. x .87).
We can then multiply the weight of the carbon (5.5 pounds) by 3.7, which equals 20 pounds of CO2!
