Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) have been identified as one of the key elements in helping achieve ambitious emissions reduction goals. Governmental support is essential to using sustainable aviation fuels to achieve the industry's climate goals. This webinar episodes seeks to explore the latest SAF policy, outlook, investment opportunities, projects and ambitions.
​
Alongside the transition to zero emission flight it’s also imperative we accelerate towards environmentally friendly airports. Airports are going green in response to increasing pressure regarding the aviation industry’s environmental impact. Many airports across the world have therefore adopted greener elements into their designs and operation strategies, as well as subscribed to eco-friendly initiatives.
​
Research into hydrogen as a potential energy carrier to power future zero-emission aircraft has been intensifying in recent years. But the road to hydrogen-powered aircraft requires significant effort inside the aviation industry and beyond. From hydrogen storage, cost and infrastructure to public perceptions about safety, the aviation sector is working to mature the technology while tackling some major challenges.
​
Bringing together technological innovation such as advanced aerodynamics, materials and propulsion systems have made the supersonic evolution possible. Building a new generation of faster aircraft will offer greater human connection and speed of service. This webinar will explore the current market, future business models, investment opportunities and key challenges that need overcoming to making the new wave of supersonic technology a reality.
​
Hypersonic flight could advance travel in ways we haven’t seen before. Hypersonic requires immense engineering and logistical challenges to reach velocities above mach-5.
