  services, flight information services,
  aeronautical information, electronic aids to
  navigation
• 2nd largest ANSP in flight movements and area of
  control

  million square km of airspace

3

• NAV CANADA Mission
• To facilitate the safe movement of aircraft
  efficiently and cost-effectively through the
  provision of air navigation services on a
  long-term sustainable basis

4
NAV CANADA

• Safety is number one
• Programs and projects to improve air navigation
  system efficiency
• Leverage emerging technology
• Upgrades to systems, equipment, infrastructure of
  1.3 billion since 1996
• Skilled, professional workforce

5
Aviation and the Environment

• Air transport accounts for less than 3 of the
  total global Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions
• Growing concern with aviation GHG emissions
• Pressure on ANSPs to be accountable and to
  contribute to reductions

6
Efficient Services

• Efficient services reduce fuel burn
• Leads to reductions in GHG emissions
• How can we reduce GHG emissions?
• Build on employee success in identifying
  improvements to service delivery
• Work with employees and customers to improve the
  efficiency of specific activities within enroute
  and terminal airspace

7
Standards of MeasurementGreenhouse Gas (GHG)
Emissions

• Aviation Greenhouse Gas (GHG) contains Carbon
  Dioxide, Methane and Nitrous Oxide
• Standard measurement is in Carbon Dioxide
  equivalents (CO2e)
• 1 litre of jet fuel produces 2.629 kg of CO2e
  emissions
• 1 metric ton of jet fuel (1 250 litres) produces
  3.286 metric tons of CO2e emissions
• Avoided fuel burn avoided GHG emissions

What is CIFER?

• Programs that support improved efficiency and
  reductions in GHG emissions
• Progress report
• identifies reductions in CO2e equivalents and
  fuel savings from 1996 to 2008
• Forecasts GHG reductions and fuel savings from
  2009 to 2016

• Reduces the GHG emissions

11
Putting Programs in PlaceEfficiency in Enroute
Operations

• Area Navigation (RNAV)
