The FAA Office of Environment and Energy (AEE) is a division of the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) responsible for addressing the environmental and energy impacts of aviation and aerospace activities. The office focuses on minimizing the negative effects of aviation on the environment, while promoting sustainable and energy-efficient practices throughout the industry.

Some of the key areas of responsibility for the FAA Office of Environment and Energy include:

1. Noise Reduction: Developing and implementing strategies to reduce aircraft noise and its impact on communities surrounding airports.
2. Air Quality: Working to minimize the emissions of pollutants, such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds, from aircraft engines and airport operations.
3. Climate Change: Addressing the aviation sector's contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and exploring ways to reduce its carbon footprint, such as through the development of alternative fuels and more efficient aircraft designs.
4. Sustainable Aviation Fuels: Promoting the use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) to reduce the industry's reliance on fossil fuels and decrease emissions.
5. Energy Efficiency: Encouraging the adoption of energy-efficient practices and technologies in airport operations, such as the use of solar power, wind energy, and energy-efficient lighting.
6. Environmental Review: Conducting environmental assessments and reviews of proposed aviation projects, such as airport expansions or new airline operations, to ensure compliance with federal environmental regulations.
7. Research and Development: Collaborating with industry stakeholders, academia, and other government agencies to research and develop new technologies and strategies for reducing the environmental impact of aviation.

The FAA Office of Environment and Energy works closely with other FAA offices, as well as with industry stakeholders, such as airlines, airports, and aircraft manufacturers, to achieve its goals and promote a more sustainable and environmentally responsible aviation sector.
