Hi everyone, it's Tom here. Now, we are trying something new on this episode of Outrage

and Optimism. It's an episode unlike any you will have heard to date. And for a long

time, we've wanted to interspers our regular podcast with more investigative work, digging

in to critical issues. Today, we kick that off with the first episode in a mini-series

on the future of transport. We also have a sponsor for this mini-series. Nestay, the world's

largest producer of renewable fuels have generously supported us for these four episodes,

which will drop into the regular feed once a month or so. Today, we kick off with the future

of aviation, how it's changing, what that means, and what the future might look like.

And we talked to lots of inspiring people rather than just one interview, which is also a

difference. Anyway, we're continuing to learn and grow and challenge ourselves to keep innovating

with this podcast. And we're so excited to share it with you. Hope you enjoy it. Here we go!

doors, but as governments, industry, and investors grapple with the economic fallout,

we'll be asking if this could be a pivotal moment for change towards a cleaner,

greener transport system. Imagine a plane from London to Paris powered by waste cooking oil,

or a cargo ship crossing the Pacific powered only by wind, or our congested cities empty of

gas guzzling SUVs and replaced by autonomous, on-demand electric cars. The solutions are out there,

but is there enough ambition to bring them to life? Today, we start with the aviation industry.

Although commercial aviation is only responsible for two to three percent of global emissions,
