Tobias Schripp

Dr. Tobias Schripp is a Scientist/Team Leader at the ZHAW School of Engineering's Meteorology and Air Transport division since March 2024. Previously, he worked at the German Aerospace Center (DLR)'s Institute of Combustion Technology (2016-2024) and Fraunhofer WKI (2006-2016). His research focuses on sustainable aviation fuels, aircraft engine emissions, and climate impacts of contrails through projects like Understanding Non-CO2 Impact for deCarbonized aviation and Renewable Fuels and Chemicals for Switzerland.

• Key Research Areas: Emission measurements, air quality, sustainable aviation fuels, contrail climate forcing, particle characterization, atmospheric pollution
• Methodologies: Chamber studies, field measurements, computational modeling (CoCiP), emission test cells

His 2025-2024 publications analyze SAF blending effects on aircraft emissions and contrail properties, showing significant reductions in nonvolatile particulate matter (−52%) and contrail radiative forcing (−44%). Recent work demonstrates that targeted SAF deployment on flights with warming contrails can multiply climate benefits by 9–15 times compared to uniform distribution.
