Reducing GHG Emissions From Mountain Town Airports and Air Travel

With: Margie Lynch, Jackson Hole Climate Action Collective; Jim Elwood, Jackson Hole Airport; Robb Etnyre, Truckee Tahoe Airport District

Decarbonizing Our Buildings, Business Operations:

Many of our mountain towns host airports, and many of them are situated in fragile natural environments. Commercial and private jet travel can be significant and high intensity contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, so tackling community scale emissions requires attention to addressing this issue. This session will feature information on efforts that mountain town airports are taking to reduce emissions from their operations as well as opportunities to reduce emissions from air travel itself, including from use of sustainable aviation fuel.
