Good to take part in yesterday’s Aviation Impact Accelerator (AIA) roundtable at Cambridge University where King Charles lll broke ground on the New Whittle Laboratory - the UK’s first Disruptive Innovation Laboratory for sustainable aviation and energy.
#SAF
We were thrilled to welcome His Majesty The King to Cambridge today, on his first public engagement after the #Coronation.
His Majesty broke ground on the University's New @whittlelab, which will be the leading global centre for net zero aviation and energy.
We were delighted to work alongside @NewsWorldEnergy and @etihad to provide contrail prevention intelligence for this incredible initiative - tackling aviation's CO2 and non-CO2 effects simultaneously & expanding the art of the possible for #sustainable#aviation
@dieterholger In the meantime, voluntary markets have to properly value the difference between flimsy window-dressed offsets and the real thing. If credits can’t be trusted to do the work they are purported to do, they are meaningless.
@dieterholger@dieterholger Credits are the only way to efficiently cut carbon. But they need to be real, transparent, verifiable credits and the more in-sector and in-region they can be the better. Article six of the Paris accords needs to get it right.
Travel Alert: All COVID-19 restrictions lifted in the UAE, no test or vaccination required.
The requirement for Al Hosn Green Pass for public places has also been removed.
With the onset of winter, we welcome you to Abu Dhabi with a breeze of cool air and sunny skies!
Additional atmospheric reductions are achieved by operational initiatives such as pre-flight engine wash, one-engine taxiing, intensive flight planning and contrail avoidance. Read more: https://t.co/NFIP8b77Rr
EY130 has taken off from Washington DC to Abu Dhabi.
In partnership with World Energy and @SataviaUK, this 787-9 flight is using Sustainable Aviation Fuel Book & Claim to achieve net-zero carbon emissions on a transatlantic flight.
About $100 per business class flyer from Amsterdam to Sharm el Sheik could have made these flights #netzero carbon flights. As we scale up #SAF that number will drop. Not only is that doable, it is happening. Stay tuned. https://t.co/53eIy79eiT
Collaboration is fundamental to solving problems and the biggest problems require the largest collaborations. @COP27P is the biggest collaboration working on our biggest problem.
They are traceable and third-party verifiable certificates measuring fuel displacement and unlike offsets, they allow us to responsibly connect by cutting the #carbon impact in the aviation sector itself.
Talks precede meals. Like any conference, it’s the meetings and meals where the most interesting stuff is happening - this is not an easy place to get to. The people who come are here to meet, learn, share, decide, and move. @COP27P#MakeNetZeroReal
#COP27 - wow, overwhelming, mind blowing, utter chaos, wildly inspiring, stunning innovation, depressing buzz word laden fluff. It’s all here - an unmistakable metaphor for how humanity is wrestling with our #ClimateCrisis. @COP27P
With nearly 50k people attending, roughly one of every 140,000 on earth are gathered here from every corner and every walk of life at the southern tip of the Sinai peninsula to collaborate on our enormous shared problem/opportunity.
