Forum 360: Navigating the Future of Aviation Sustainability: Decarbonizing the Skies 13 June 2023 0930 - 1130
The aviation industry plays a significant role in the global economy, connecting people and businesses around the world. However, aviation is responsible for a growing percentage of greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change. To address this challenge and meet the net-zero 2050 goals, the industry is focusing on decarbonization efforts now, including alternative fuels, electric and hybrid-electric aircraft, and other innovative technologies.
The session will explore the latest developments in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), including production, supply chain, and infrastructure considerations. The panelists will also examine the potential of new technologies such as electric and hybrid-electric aircraft, exploring the technological and regulatory hurdles that must be overcome to bring these innovations to market.
Finally, the session will highlight the role of partnerships and collaboration in driving progress toward a more sustainable aviation industry. Panelists will share best practices and success stories from collaborations between airlines, airports, and other stakeholders in the industry.
