SXSW Eco Interview: Jessica Kowal, Boeing
This post is part of Triple Pundit’s ongoing coverage of the SXSW Eco conference. For the rest, please visit our SXSW Eco page here.
Aviation may account for only 2 percent of global carbon emissions, but it's quickly expanding and is likely to account for 3 percent by 2030. I had a chance to talk with Boeing's Jessica Kowal last week to learn about the ways that airlines and aircraft manufacturers plan to reduce this potential impact. Essentially, there are three ways:
- More efficient planes
- More efficient routing and planning
- Better fuels, especially biofuels
