Dr. Hua-Wei Huang C.Eng. MIMechE, Senior Technologist - Propulsion, Aerospace Technology Institute caught up with Monica Marinescu, Associate Professor, Imperial College London at ATI Conference last month. Monica shares her observations of battery capabilities in the automotive sector and why aerospace organisations must engage with cell manufacturers to continue advancing capabilities to meet the unique requirements for battery-electric flight and more electric aircraft. On day two of ATI Conference 2024, Monica brought her expertise to the Electrified flight panel. #DestinationZero #ATIConference

What can aerospace learn from other sectors’ decarbonisation journeys? Matthew Shepherd, Associate Director, Frontier Economics caught up with Dr. Maria A. Nelson, Head of Innovation & Sustainability, Aerospace Technology Institute to share his insights at October’s ATI Conference. Listen to Matt as he shares his expertise on the economics and policy of decarbonisation across sectors including energy systems and the interdependencies for aviation as demand for low and no carbon energy to support the production of SAF and hydrogen ramps up. His message for the aerospace sector? Be clear, acknowledge that there is uncertainty and to engage with other sectors and government to realise Destination Zero. On Day Two of ATI Conference 2024, Matt joined the future fuel availability vs demand panel chaired by Richard Coates, Head of Government Relations, Aerospace Technology Institute. #DestinationZero #ATIConference
