Aviation is kind of a touchy subject when it comes to clean technology. It’s generally very energy intensive, and even taking a few commercial flights can massively increase someone’s carbon footprint. One international flight produces more emissions than a family car does in a whole year, and that’s already after … [continued]
Renewable fuel from air and water are on the menu for a supersonic, next-generation version of Air Force executive aircraft. Could that include Air Force One, one day?
If you are an urban planner or policy maker engaged with urban air mobility, be aware that the bloom is distinctly off this rose, cut your losses, and pivot to regional air mobility.
Policy makers and investors take note: regional air mobility is vastly more scalable, an actual path to a decarbonized future and much lower risk.
ChatGPT & DALL-E generated The panoramic image showcases an eVTOL aircraft with a strong emphasis on origami, highlighting intricate paper folding details to enhance its children's toy-like appeal.
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.
ChatGPT & DALL-E generated panoramic image of an eVTOL aircraft designed to resemble origami with colorful paper, capturing a whimsical, children's toy aesthetic.
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]
