Wed, January 8th, 7- 8 pm EST SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUELS: CAN THEY MEET 2050 CLIMATE GOALS? Webinar for Policymakers & the Public
Much of the research and policy discussion about the future of “sustainable aviation fuels” has been funded by the aviation industry. This webinar features independent researchers who receive no aviation industry support. It may also provide new arguments for future public comments on the Hanscom developers’ SDEIR (Supplementary Draft Environmental Impact Report), once it’s filed.
Panelists: Dan Lashof, Director of World Resources Institute, US, Chuck Collins, Director of Program on Inequality, Institute for Policy Studies, DC, Neil Rasmussen, Member of MIT governing board, serves on energy and climate committees.
Sponsored by: Institute for Policy Studies, Program on Inequality; Sierra Club Mass; Coalition to Stop Private Jet Expansion at Hanscom or Anywhere; Mass Power Forward; Massachusetts Climate Action Network (MCAN); Center for Biological Diversity

In January, 2024 United States Environmental Protection Agency issued a harsh letter to the Airport saying they must study the potential damage to the drinking water Aquifer. The letter says the study lacks information on public and private wells. It says the Airport wrongly claimed the groundwater did not need to be studied for potential pollution from the Airport expansion. Read the letter here.
