9 statements about Aviation Industry, every show
Goldstein: Aviation manufacturing has not scaled since World War II
“We haven't really scaled aviation since World War II, and so it's going to be challenging to do that, but I think that's really the nut to crack that could determine the size of this”
Aviation staffing and infrastructure bottlenecks are fundamentally software problems
“What is not considered enough is like how staffing and infrastructure are fundamentally actually software problems.”
Lubbershane: Maxing out global cellulosic biomass solves only half of aviation demand
“Even kind of optimistically, if you were to max out that resource globally,
And all of it were to go into the aviation fuel market, especially given the growth we're expecting to see in demand for aviation fuel.
we're still talking about probably solving abou…”
The 50% SAF blend limit won't constrain airports for a decade
“So the industry is certainly looking at that, but I think we're probably at least a decade away from having that be a real issue in any single location.”
Sustainable aviation fuel accounts for less than 1% of jet fuel use
“And it's still a very tiny amount relative to how much petroleum-based jet fuel the aviation industry uses. It's less than one percent.”
Eremenko: Without hydrogen, cutting flight traffic will become only decarbonization option
“Today. It's a few percent of global CO two emissions very quickly. I think aviation will start to stick out as a sore thumb, right? As an industry that is incredibly difficult to decarbonize and doesn't have a credible decarbonization roadmap, at which point t…”
Rivest: Air conditioning causes roughly 4% of global emissions, twice aviation
“So I mentioned at the beginning that we're around four percent of greenhouse gas emissions for air conditioners globally, and that's a big number. I think most of the people who are listening to this podcast will be well calibrated to that number, but It's clo…”
Kasireddy: GE's smart jet engines reduce aviation costs via automated maintenance
“GE with their aviation, they have the smart jet engines, which the mechanics don't need, don't even need to check the plane once it lands and that they just know if it needs maintenance or not. That saves a ton of time and ton of fuel and ton of just money for…”
