Sustainable Transport and Environmental Safety in Aviation (eBook)

This book looks at sustainability and the environmental safety of transport, both key priorities within the global strategy of sustainable development of aviation. Bringing together selected papers presented at the 8th International Scientific-Technical Conference: Problems of Chemmotology - Theory and Practice of Rational Use of Conventional and Alternative Fuels and Lubricants, the contributions examine the theory and practice of aviation chemmotology and safety in transport, including sustainable transport, manufacturing and use of conventional and alternative fuels and lubricants, the use of electric aviation, and systems of fuel supply and fuel infrastructure. This collection will be an invaluable reference for researchers, professionals, and students involved in alternative aviation fuels, transport engineering, sustainable transport development, and fuels and lubricants. 

Sergii Boichenko has been Director and then Scientific Chief of the Ukrainian Research and Educational Center of Chemmotology and Certification of Fuels, Lubricants and Technical Liquids at the National Aviation University (NAU) since 2005. He was Head of the Ecology Department at NAU from 2010 until 2018, when he became Dean of the NAU Faculty of Environmental Safety, Engineering, and Technologies. His primary field of scientific interest is the effective and efficient use of conventional and alternative fuels, lubricants, and technical liquids. Over the years, Dr. Boichenko has been the scientific chief of more than 10 national scientific-research projects granted by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. Since 2006, he has been a founder and head of the Program Committee of the International Scientific-Technical Conference 'Problems of Chemmotology - Theory and Practice of Rational Use of Traditional and Alternative Fuels and Lubricants' since 2006 and is an acting member of the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection. He graduated from the Kiev Institute of Engineers of Civil Aviation in 1992 with a degree in Operation of Air Transport and received a Doctor of Sciences degree in 2004. Oleksandr Zaporozhets has been a Professor at the National Aviation University (NAU) since 1999, where he was also Director of the Institute of Environmental Safety from 2019 to 2020, and Head of the Department of Safety of Life Activity from 2001 through 2013. His areas of research include aircraft noise and air pollution impact assessment and abatement at airports, environmental protection from civil aviation impact, environmental risk analysis and control, flight safety, aviation security, and wind farms safety. Dr. Zaporozhets graduated from the Kiev Institute of Engineers of Civil Aviation in 1984. He has been a nominated member from Ukraine of the Committee on Environmental Protection from the Impact of Aviation (CAEP) of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) since 2009, and Scientific Supervisor of the Center for Environmental Problems of Airports (CESA) of the NAU since 2006. He is a member of the Ukrainian Grouping of Acousticians and a contact person with the European Acoustic Association.
