Aviation needs Bolder Approaches to Climate Change
Aviation needs bolder approaches to climate change than carbon offsets and cleaner fuels. -A cleaner future for flight — aviation needs a radical redesign. 'Globally, the industry generates roughly one billion tonnes of co2 per year' (Center for International Climate Research, Oslo, Norway) >
Green Hydrogen Takes Flight
'Australian innovators AMSL Aero are taking renewable energy to the skies with their futuristic reimagining of the aircraft.' (ARENAWIRE, Australian Renewable Energy Agency) >
AIRBUS ZEROe
Towards the world’s first zero-emission commercial aircraft. 'At Airbus, we have the ambition to develop the world’s first zero-emission commercial aircraft by 2035. Hydrogen propulsion will help us to deliver on this ambition. Our ZEROe concept aircraft enable us to explore a variety of configurations and hydrogen technologies that will shape the development of our future zero-emission aircraft.' (AIRBUS, France) >

TRAVEL: PLANE or TRAIN
UK Survey: We wanted to know how people in the UK feel about moving to trains rather than planes - so we asked them! 'With train travel resulting in up to 90% less emissions than taking a plane, changing how we travel is essential if we want to tackle climate change.'
