The challenges of high-priced oil for aviation
13.01.2006
Aviation is completely dependent upon petroleum as its fuel source. Since no practical energy substitute is readily available for commercial aviation, a scarcity of petroleum relative to future demand will present a major challenge for the air transport industry and aviation policy.
- Are we really facing the end of cheap oil?
- What will be the impact of the end of cheap oil for airline operations, airports and consumers?
- Are there any alternative fuels available for air transport?
- How should airlines, airports and governments prepare for high fuel prices?
Speakers:
- Lucia van Geuns, Deputy Head, Clingendael International Energy Programme
- Paul Peeters, Peeters Advies/ NLR
- Paul Cluett, Global Sales Coordination Manager, Shell Aviation
- Prof. Jaap de Wit, Director Airneth/ University of Amsterdam
The seminar will be from 14.00h until 17.45h at the Amsterdam Graduate Business School in Amsterdam.
