CLEAN : Green initiatives on display at Singapore Airshow

The video discusses the challenges of electrifying long-distance travel due to current battery limitations. It highlights the high cost and supply issues of biofuels and the potential of synthetic fuels as environmentally friendly alternatives. Airlines are actively working on sustainability by increasing the availability of sustainable fuels. Gas turbines will remain essential for the next few decades, with a focus on improving their efficiency and exploring hybridization for long-haul journeys.

What is a major challenge in transitioning to electric long-distance travel?

• High cost of electric vehicles

• Lack of interest from the industry

• Current battery technology limitations

• Insufficient charging stations

Why is biofuel considered more expensive?

• It is heavily taxed

• The supply cannot meet global demand

• It requires special engines

• It is not widely accepted by consumers

What type of fuel are airlines focusing on to reduce environmental impact?

• Nuclear fuel

• Synthetic fuel

• Traditional jet fuel

• Hydrogen fuel

For how long are gas turbines expected to remain a key technology in aviation?

• 30-40 years

• 10-20 years

• 40-50 years

• 20-30 years

What is the potential future role of electrification in aviation?

• To power airport operations

• To replace all current aircraft engines

• For short-range journeys and hybridization for long-haul

• Only for cargo planes
