With major investment already secured from the likes of United and American Airlines, are we inching closer to realising the dream of ultra-fast, carbon-neutral air travel? When will people be able to fly it? Listen now to find out. But how will it work? What sustainable aviation fuel will it use? The Overture will be equipped with noise-reduction technologies and emit zero carbon. The company aims to usher in a new era of supersonic travel by transporting passengers from places like New York to London in only a few hours. Boom is building a supersonic plane they are calling the Overture – the world's fastest airliner.īoom is redefining the future of flight with their goals of speed, safety and sustainability. On this episode, David is joined by Ben Murphy, Head of Sustainability at Boom Supersonic. We’ve visited the world of sustainable fuel, had a layover in the land of hydrogen-powered engines and today, we’ve arrived at our next destination: speed and sustainability. In recent episodes we have featured several companies which are creating technologies that will get us closer to meeting this goal. With major airline companies setting net zero goals by 2050, we’ve talked a lot about the aviation industry and its contribution to our emissions problem.

We’re episode of the Energy Gang is brought to you by Hitachi Energy, a global technology leader advancing a sustainable energy future for all. But is it achievable? And what will it mean for the electric vehicle industry in the US and around the world?Īs always, check out our Twitter to let us know your thoughts and any future topics you want us to discuss.
Under the new regulations, by 2026 35% of new cars and light trucks sold in California must be either fully electric, plug-in hybrid or hydrogen-powered. Last month, regulators in California approved a ban on the sale of most new gasoline- powered vehicles by 2035, as the state takes dramatic steps to reduce emissions and combat the climate emergency. What do these extreme measures tell us about the sacrifices people are being asked to make to serve a humanitarian cause? Is there a parallel to draw between that and changing our habits to curtail catastrophic climate change? If Europe does not have enough gas to keep people warm without having to introduce rationing, what does this say about the lack of tools in our belt when these crises occur?Īlso on the show: oil prices have risen sharply, giving a big boost to the demand for electric cars. Already, leaders are urging people to take action, by having cold showers and switching off the air-conditioning to save money and lighten the load on the grid.
There will probably need to be demand for curtailment, rationing and blackouts. If it’s a cold winter, then things are going to get rough. If it’s a mild winter, then Europe will probably have enough gas. The continent is facing a potentially very bleak winter, but how bleak depends on the weather. The race to stay warm is on as Russia cuts off more gas supplies to Europe. Host Ed Crooks is joined by regular guest Melissa Lott, Director of Research at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University, and Amy Harder from Cipher. In this episode of The Energy Gang, we draw our attention away from the US and the Inflation Reduction Act, and switch focus to the ongoing energy crisis in Europe.
