Opening Keynote - Airships: A Sustainable Path to Decarbonizing Transportation and Complementing Humanitarian Aid 13 June 2023 0800 - 0900

Twenty-first-century next-generation airships will create a new, clean highway in the sky with zero-carbon transportation for cargo and passengers to support humanitarian assistance and a multitude of other applications. Currently, modern transportation is carbon-intensive, including aviation, which emits nearly 1 billion metric tons of CO2 annually. LTA is forging a new path to zero-carbon air transportation that helps shape a cleaner world and complements other green aviation, land, and maritime initiatives.
