Decarbonising Aviation: What Role Do We Have to Play?
The decarbonisation of aviation is recognised as one of society’s most complex challenges, requiring a truly multidisciplinary solution, and drawing on expertise from across aviation, wider transportation, financial and energy sectors.
It encompasses airport operations, surface access, future fuels, energy transition, operational and embodied carbon, nature-based solutions, behavioural change, data and digital, and smart systems, funded in a way which works for businesses and consumers.
This session will draw experts from across the field of sustainable aviation to discuss the challenge and more importantly the potential solutions that will create a net zero and sustainable aviation sector.
Discussion points:
– The role of sustainable fuels in reducing aviation’s carbon footprint
– The potential of alternative energy sources such as hydrogen or electric aviation technologies
– Investment and financing opportunities to make sustainable aviation economically viable
– Policies that can accelerate the transition and incentives driving change in the aviation industry
