✈️ Happy Hour: How Contrail Management Can Cut Aviation Climate Impact In Half 🌏
Bring your aviation geek friends to the Scandinavian café / bakery Kantine for a special happy hour centered around contrail management.
Contrails are the whispy white vapor trails that planes sometimes leave behind in the sky. Some contrails are persistent and can spread out to become huge ice clouds, which warm the climate roughly as much as all the CO2 emissions from aviation. However, there is a simple solution called contrail management, which several large airlines are testing under the radar. It's cheap, relatively easy, and has the potential to cut airline emissions in half, so why aren't we doing it? What can we do as individuals and companies to account for the climate impact of contrails and other non-CO2 effects of aviation?
Meet Matteo Mirolo, Head of Strategy and Policy at Breakthrough Energy Contrails; Dan Rutherford, Senior Director of Research at the International Council on Clean Transportation; and Joachim Majholm, founder of Blue Lines.
Hosted by Blue Lines (blue-lines.org) and Kantine.
