The aim of the project is to pilot and promote carbon-neutral and zero-emission drone services for the needs of the logistics sector as well as new business forms to replace internal combustion engine driven modes of transport and transport. The project will develop innovative drone solutions and new, less environmentally friendly approaches to promote low carbon and extend the use of drones to different applications. Drones suitable for professional use are already available in many weight classes. The payloads start at a few kilograms, but we already have commercial equipment that lifts tens of kilos of the load. Technology pilots are also made with human “dronetaxes” around the world. These are linked to the European theme “Urban Air Mobility”. In addition to testing new applications, drone solutions can be used to verify the environmental impact of drone solutions and to assess the possibilities for use in different applications. Through the project, companies developing and exploiting drone services, as well as other stakeholders, will become more aware of a low-carbon and carbon-neutral society. Through the expansion of drone services, the project aims in the long term for clear, verified CO2 and fine particulate reductions, energy savings and, at the same time, new business opportunities for technology companies developing drone services and related sensors, as well as for companies and organisations using drone services. The project belongs to four regions (Uusimaa, Kymenlaakso, North Ostrobothnia, Lapland) and three groups of projects to develop drone activities. The project family cooperates closely in the design of pilots, exchange of experiences, measurement, etc. The aim of the project is to promote, in addition to the commercial development of carbon-neutral solutions and at the same time the commercial development of drone activities, international attractiveness and the emergence of new RD blanks by supporting technology suppliers, RTD organisations, regions and cities, as well as companies and organisations that produce and purchase drone services. The European Commission has set Finland the target of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 39 % between 2021 and 2030. Energy and climate issues are one of the key challenges that also have to be addressed at municipal level and which all those in the urban community can contribute to. The new strategies for cities and provinces place a strong emphasis on carbon neutrality and emission reduction targets. It is clear that there is not only one or two big solutions to achieve the emission reduction targets, but that there is a need for the development, piloting, validation and deployment of several, simultaneous and multi-sectoral zero- and low-emission solutions. The transition to a low-carbon society requires new approaches, while at the same time replicable low-carbon technologies and models offer businesses business opportunities also in international markets. Transport is a significant source of emissions and makes up one fifth of all greenhouse gas emissions in Finland. Among other things, the report by the Transport Research Centre Vernen Transport’s Co2 Total Emissions highlights the development of urban logistics through the introduction of energy-saving solutions as one of the means of emission reductions. Drone activities can be developed especially for the benefit of local logistics for small-scale transport. Despite new solutions in the logistics sector, carbon neutrality targets are not easily achieved. As Trafi’s Director General Mia Nykopp says: “There are no simple solutions to achieve carbon-free transport, but we need open-minded changes in all aspects of transport. We need to invest just as much in using technology, reducing emissions-generating transport performance and changing attitudes. For example, Gartner’s (www.gartner.com) list of dronets is one of the strategic technology trends of 2019. The importance of the drone theme is also highlighted by many other international studies and analyses. Large international companies are already developing and testing the world with strong drones. Examples include Amazon, Google/Wing, DHL, etc. For example, in Reykjavik, Flytrex/AHA offers fast food transport with drones. The development of drone activities does not take place solely in drone-building or drone service companies. In addition to the contribution of these companies, there is a need for greater cooperation between cities, universities, other developer organisations and service user companies, both locally, nationally and internationally.
