FedEx CEO: Carbon sequestration key to sustainable aviation

While sustainable fuels are important to making aviation sustainable, carbon sequestration “is an ambitious but realistic approach to this problem” that “can have an immense effect,” explained FedEx CEO Frederick Smith and Ingrid “Indy” Burke, the Carl W. Knobloch Jr. dean of the Yale School of the Environment. “Initial efforts to address aviation emissions must expand in scope to find solutions for efficient sequestration of even more carbon, and the advantages of this work will reach far beyond Yale’s campus and FedEx’s fleet,” they said.
