Freya Burton, LanzaTech

We spoke to Freya Burton from LanzaTech at Innovation Zero 2023. Freya highlights the aviation sector's potential in achieving the government's 10% sustainable aviation fuels target by 2030. While it presents an opportunity for innovation and creativity, the main obstacles are no longer technical but centered on investment challenges and regulatory uncertainties. Delays in decision-making hinder progress despite the government's leadership role, emphasizing the urgent need for faster actions to meet net-zero goals.

Collaboration and partnerships are crucial across sectors to achieve this target collectively, as there's no singular solution. Events like Innovation Zero are pivotal, fostering connections and showcasing diverse technologies and companies working toward the common goal.
