    Can Europe Lead Electric Aviation? | Electric Aircraft, Industrial Sovereignty and the Future of Flight

    Electric aviation is moving from concept to reality. Across Europe, companies are developing a new generation of electric aircraft that promise lower operating costs, quieter flights and zero in-flight emissions. Yet significant questions remain. Can the technology scale? Is the regulatory framework fit for purpose? And can Europe establish a leadership position before competitors in the United States and China pull ahead? In this episode of Policy Driven, Tom and Mark are joined by Alessia Affinito, EU Public Affairs Manager at VÆRIDION, and Antoine Toulemont, European & International Affairs Adviser at AURA AERO. The discussion explores the role of electric aviation within European transport policy, the challenges facing commercial deployment, and the broader implications for industrial competitiveness, strategic autonomy and regional connectivity. Topics discussed include: Why electric aviation is gaining momentum in EuropeThe commercial potential of electric regional aircraftCertification and regulatory challengesBatteries, charging infrastructure and airport readinessEuropean industrial policy and strategic autonomyCompetition from the United States and ChinaThe relationship between electric aviation and sustainable aviation fuelsPotential defence and dual-use applicationsWhat policymakers need to do before 2030Guests: Alessia AffinitoEU Public Affairs Manager, VÆRIDION Antoine ToulemontEuropean & International Affairs Adviser, AURA AERO Policy Driven is a podcast by the Green Mobility Magazine and WATTSUP! exploring transport, energy and industrial policy.

    Policy Driven | IMO MEPC 84, Maritime Decarbonisation and the Future of Global Shipping Rules

    The International Maritime Organization’s latest climate negotiations have reopened fundamental questions about global shipping decarbonisation, carbon pricing and the future relationship between international and regional regulation. In this special episode of Policy Driven, Tom and Mark are joined by Fanny Devaux, Director of Shipping at Transport and Environment, for an in-depth discussion on the outcomes of IMO MEPC 84 and the future of the proposed Net Zero Framework. The episode examines what happened during the negotiations in London, why the framework remains politically contested, and what the latest developments reveal about the state of international cooperation on maritime climate policy. The discussion explores: The IMO Net Zero Framework and global fuel standard proposals Maritime carbon pricing and the proposed IMO Net Zero Fund The political divisions exposed during MEPC 84The role of the EU and the future interaction between IMO rules and the EU ETSInvestment certainty, fuel pathways and shipping decarbonisationWhether parallel global and European regulatory systems are now emergingPolicy Driven is a podcast by the Green Mobility Magazine and Wattsup!, focused on global transport, energy and industrial policy.

    Aviation, Climate Law and Global Carbon Markets - Episode 6

    In this episode of Policy Driven, Tom and Mark open the year with a discussion on aviation, climate law and international regulation at a moment of mounting political and legal pressure on decarbonisation frameworks.  They are joined by Steven Truxal, Professor of Air and Space Law and Director of the International Institute of Air and Space Law at Leiden University, and Garry Pratama, a doctoral researcher examining the interaction between regional and global approaches to aviation emissions. The conversation explores the distinctive legal and political features of aviation, before turning to the current operation and forthcoming review of the EU Emissions Trading System for aviation. The episode examines the coexistence and tensions between the EU ETS and International Civil Aviation Organization’s CORSIA scheme, as well as the legal challenges emerging from the implementation of ReFuelEU Aviation. With international dynamics and US opposition in view, the discussion concludes by assessing where the principal legal risks for aviation actors may arise in the run-up to 2030, including litigation exposure, compliance uncertainty and the potential for renewed geopolitical friction.
