Global Justice Now Reading

Grasping the nettle of emissions from aviation’ at 7.30pm on Wed 26 May

May 9, 2021 by reading

The inspiring speaker, Finlay Asher who spent 7 years designing engine concepts at Rolls-Royce for future Boeing and Airbus aircraft, gave the talk and answered questions. He quit his job in mid-2020 to counter aviation industry greenwash on “techno-solutions” and to campaign for increased regulation of aviation ahead of COP26 in Glasgow. He talked through the environmental impact of aviation, the viability of electric and hydrogen flight, the potential for alternative jet fuels, and carbon offsetting – and also gave his views on the policies required to curb air traffic growth.
