SAVING FUEL – REDUCING EMISSIONS
AND AIRPORT CARBON FOOTPRINTS

Fuel Matrix Limited

The Fuel Matrix System

The Fuel Matrix System (FMS) comprises two breakthrough technologies for deployment in aviation - Fuel Load Optimiser (FLO) for use by airlines and Cabin Load Measurement (CLM) for deployment in airports. These technologies will help the sector recover better from the impact of COVID-19 by enhancing both financial and environmental sustainability. Both technologies are proprietary and both are patented.

Aircraft fuel efficiency should begin with the accuracy of the fuel load because fuel is burnt to carry fuel. Loading fuel unnecessarily causes excess fuel costs, avoidable emissions and avoidable exposure to carbon taxes. Before FLO was formulated pilots were not able, in the time available to them before flight, to take into account late changes to flight metrics when finalising fuel load. FLO enables pilots to take the late changes into account in good time to optimise the accuracy of fuel load before flight by providing optimisation calculation results in 90 seconds. All safety requirements are respected. In tests with major airlines we have demonstrated the ability to reduce fuel costs by up to $2bn, and CO2 emissions by up to 10m tonnes, across the sector, per year. Recent FLO developments will increase these benefits. This can be a stand-alone product and can work in conjunction with CLM as described below.

CLM will replace the estimates currently used for the weight of passengers, crew and hand luggage with accurate measurements. The accurate data will be transmitted to the airline and this will enable the airline to further optimise fuel uplift calculations. Providing this data service to airlines will give the airport competitive advantage. The process will also enable the airport to reduce the growth of its carbon footprint - aircraft currently contribute more than 50% of the carbon footprints of airports (Heathrow publishes 96%). Weight capture for passengers will be automatic and confidential and cause no GDPR issues - biometric data is already widely used by airlines and airports. CLM will integrate readily with modern airport systems. It will cause no friction in the passenger journey through an airport and envisaged CLM developments will enhance the speed and smoothness of the journey.
