Think Tanks - Eelde, Drenthe, Netherlands
PEN EM is a foundation that aims to promote and accelerate the introduction of commercial electric aviation in the Netherlands and Europe.Our mission: Providing Efficient New Energy Mobility (PEN EM)Our vision:In a world with the continuing growth of demand for mobility combined with an absolute need for sustainable solutions, the aviation industry stands at the brink of going through a fundamental transition towards offering optimal environmental efficient travel at competitive fares.Such transition commences at the short-haul distance, providing maximum added value for the regions, entailing enhanced accessibility, (socio)economic growth and improved living qualities. Therewith, a much-needed counterweight to the ongoing concentration of economic activities and population in large metropolitan areas is created.We call it 0.0 aviation: • 0 direct emissions, striving towards 0 lifecycle emissions• 0 noise disturbance Actions to achieve our aim: • Research• Knowledge transfer• Building and establishing coalitions• Advice and consultancy• Promoting and supporting innovation• Guiding projects5 advantages of 0.0 technology: 1. 100% emission free during operation;2. Operating cost per seat-mile for small electric aircraft is at least 50% lower than small fossil aircraft and comparable to 70-seat turboprop aircraft; 3. Significant noise reduction. Electric aircraft will not make more noise than a Tesla driving by at 25 meters;4. Very well suited for currently underutilized regional airports, allowing far better regional connectivity;5. Positive effects on other initiatives for sustainability;Benefits for travellers:• Reduced travel times: fly closer from home to closer to your destination• Hassle-free: small scale travel allows for quick airport processes • More comfort: low noise and vibration due to electric propulsion and high-quality cabin• Clean: travel without leaving an environmental footprint
