Electrification Of Aviation Is Starting With Aerospace Trying To Invent Markets
Policy makers and investors take note: regional air mobility is vastly more scalable, an actual path to a decarbonized future and much lower risk.

Some of the eVTOLs will end up in billionaire’s stables, along with their other rarely used toys such as Bugattis, but they can afford to be frivolous.
There’s a deep disconnect between the purported urban taxi business models and most of the graphics these eVTOL companies use, which hides a yawning chasm of reality.
Battery-electric aviation will be over 50% of flights by 2070, and approaching 100% by 2100. Aviation-related warming will be under a third of 2019 levels by 2060, and drop to close to zero by 2100. In 80 years, flygskam will be a thing of the past.
For commodities traders, businesses, strategists, and policy makers, I would recommend being very leery of most of the market analyses currently extant for aviation fuels.
A new $1 billion clean technology fund aims to push the envelope on sustainable aviation fuel, carbon capture, energy storage, and hydrogen.
Courtesy of RMI. By Christian Roselund This week has seen a seismic shift, with the global maritime shipping and aviation industries both committing to move to net zero by 2050. For the shipping industry, this is further progress on the landmark Poseidon Principles. For aviation, this shows a new level of ambition. But both sectors are … [continued]

T&E commissioned a study by the Öko-Institut to compare, based on cost and climate benefits, two possible uses for captured CO2 emissions from aviation.
Aviation reportedly receives £7 billion per year in subsidies in the UK. This is one of the most harmful sectors to our climate, yet Great Britain is subsidizing it as if it’s saving dolphins and whales. In fact, whereas countries like the USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam tax … [continued]
