I enjoyed hosting a captivating session at the Farnborough International Airshow. Our discussion delved into the aviation industry’s commitment to achieving net-zero flying by 2050 and explored the steps required to turn these ambitions into reality. A few of the main takeaways that stood out to me included: 🐌 Navigating Obstacles: Even though there is a lot of will and demand, we are still moving too slow. Considerable technical and economic barriers remain key hurdles for the transformation and adaption. The path to resolution is being carved through financial investments and innovative technological progress. 🤝 Unified Approach Required: A successful shift to sustainable fuels calls for a collaborative strategy among all key players—airlines, OEMs, investors, energy companies and regulatory bodies – to effectively mitigate climate effects. ✈ Cultivating Engagement and Fostering Transparency: Customers are increasingly willing to invest in sustainable options, even at a premium. The cornerstone of successful adoption lies in thorough education and unwavering transparency throughout the journey of transformation. A heartfelt thank you goes to our insightful panelists Julie Kitcher, Brian Moran, Lauren Riley and Jan Toschka for their expert perspectives.

Fantastic to be at the opening of the Sustainable Skies Summit #ssws24 with a fantastic opening introduction by Jonathon Counsell, CSO of International Airlines Group (IAG). So what’s been going on since I last attended? 1. Policy - the European Green Deal promoting SAF and the DfT’s announcement of its SAF mandate and associated Revenue Certainty Mechanism 2. New technologies - decarbonisation 3. Hydrogen powered aircraft - for example Rolls-Royce with partners easyJet as well and Airbus’ ZEROe programme, ZeroAvia and Cranfield Aerospace Solutions’ Project Fresson all pushing development forward 4. Launch of the Defence Aviation Net Zero Strategy 5. International Air Transport Association (IATA)’s first World Sustainability Symposium 6. Successful first 100% transatlantic SAF flight 7. The Third International Civil Aviation Organization Conference on Aviation Fuel 8. LanzaJet’s opening of the first alcohol to SAF plant in the US with a second, larger one in Europe this year 9. How does Aviation, a hard to abate sector use other solutions such as Carbon Capture and Sequestration? 10. IAG’s partnership with Twelve with a commitment to a significant take or pay agreement for eSAF Aviation Decarbonisation needs all of the above, and much more, with collaboration being key. Thank you to Johnathan for the quick run-through. CEN-ESG #decarbonisation #saf #policy #hydrogen #electric #sustainability #netzero

Do you remember when the #Falcon20ER was "chasing" our #A350? ✈️ This special flight test campaign was measuring the impact of using 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (#SAF) on non-CO2 emissions. Today, together with German Aerospace Center (DLR), Rolls-Royce and Neste we are excited to share that SAF not only reduces CO2, but also non-CO2 emissions. 🙌 Find out exactly how 👉 https://lnkd.in/ekugZVrB

Following #Farnborough last week, CEO Juriaan Kellermann has shared his thoughts on our blog about what he saw and thought during the airshow. You can read his thoughts on Fokker Next Gen’s commitment to #hydrogen combustion technology, how we plan to navigate #shifts in the industry, how we plan to leverage #collaboration and #innovation - such as through partnerships with companies like Dassault Systèmes - and his strategic vision of the #future of #FokkerNextGen to get us to a reality where zero-CO2 emission flight is the norm. https://lnkd.in/eWap5qmm #sustainableaviation #netzero #avition #liquidhydrogencombustion #LH2 #greenaviation #FIA2024 #zeroCO2

Clean Aviation Forum : How to boost European cooperation? 📢 💡 Couldn't miss the chance to share insights from the #CAAF2024 event! Panel Discussion on "How to boost European cooperation" was true food for thought. 🚀 The discussion underscored the potential for a greener flight industry in Europe to not only drive competitiveness, but also enhance our environmental and social impact. Grateful for the invaluable contributions from Polona Gregorin, Jacqueline Castle, and Jo Dardenne ✅ We are aiming currently to improve coordination between Europe’s many regional and aviation industry initiatives. By means of detailed technical roadmaps and strategic cooperations for net-zero aviation between the Clean Aviation JU and EU regions, we support European competitiveness, skills and jobs. As aviation has an inherently long life cycle, investing in aviation is investing for the long-term. 🔝 Let's harness the power of innovation, disruptive technologies and policy to propel the aviation revolution forward!

There is a divide opening up, between Europe and the U.S, when it comes to their approach to future Aviation fuels. Airbus especially, are pushing for more infrastructure-commitments for Hydrogen whilst the Americans are looking closer at the possibilities with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Which one of these technologies will win in the end (if any of them) is still a big question. But if the industry is going to have any chance of reaching ”Net Zero” carbon emissions, by the year 2050, well then we REALLY need to see some movements soon. https://lnkd.in/eH3gih5t
WHY Won't US Aviation Agree to THIS!?

Key messages from the first ICAO Symposium on non-CO2 emissions 🌐 🔹 A deeper understanding of the impact of non-CO2 emissions in #aviation 🔹 Ensuring that non-CO2 #emission trials and actions fit within operational constraints. These are crucial areas where To70 can support the sector. Our Sustainable aviation consultant, Vincent de Haes, moderated a panel on the regarding the partnerships required to develop mitigation strategies. As leaders in aviation and airspace operations #consultancy, we recognise that non-CO2 emissions is a critical area of research and action for the future. To70 looks forward to working with Airlines, ANSPs, technology providers and all involved stakeholders on #research, data gathering, policy support, trials, and strategy, to drive meaningful progress in the sector. Let’s shape the future of aviation together✈ International Civil Aviation Organization

Europe needs to move quicker to decarbonise aviation, according to several expert speakers at a recent workshop co-organised by the European Commission DG RTD and the Clean Aviation JU in cooperation with the European Committee of the Regions. The time required for the development, testing and certification of commercial aircraft technology means the technologies that Europe will need to achieve its 2050 climate neutrality objectives should already be in the works and effectively need to hit the market by 2035. With a €4.1 billion budget, Clean Aviation aims to amplify its impact emphasizing the urgent need for unified efforts and strategic resource allocation across regional, national, and European levels. Collaboration is key to bolstering competitiveness and sustainability. Read more here: https://buff.ly/3PwM1S0
