The total contribution of air travel to global warming is estimated to be around 4% and second only to road transport. Whereas road transport is moving toward battery power no obvious solution exists for long distance commercial flights. Batteries and Hydrogen simply don't cut it for long distance commercial flights. Richard takes us on a deep dive into the
possibilities of how green air transport can be achieved.

Refreshments will be available from 30 minutes before the advertised start time.
