Within the RefMap project, ISCTE - University Institute of Lisbon examined how the platform’s integrated environmental tools can give rise to new aviation business model concepts.

Research from UC3M within the RefMap Project shows that combining climate-optimized trajectories with strategic SAF allocation can cut contrail-related warming by 30–40% using just 2% SAF.

KTH Royal Institute of Technology presents key results on aircraft noise modeling and population exposure. Using the SAFT noise tool and advanced flight planning analytics, the work highlights how integrating noise, emissions, and community health impacts can support more sustainable and socially responsible aviation planning.

How the AIR-Portal system is used to map local air quality around airports with high-resolution data. Downscaling satellite measurements enables the tracking of pollutants like NO2, PM2.5, and O3, helping understand aviation’s impact on health and supporting smarter, more sustainable flight planning.

How RefMap partner USAL has used psychoacoustics to better understand the impacts of drone noise on people and wildlife.

Why RefMap is fully aligned with the new CountEmissionsEU Regulation.
