A Sustainable Aviation Fuel Project Making Progress in Manitoba
Portage la Prairie finds itself in a nexus of agricultural opportunities. The aerospace industry is trying hard to manage carbon emissions with a growing passenger demand. Part of that industry’s mitigation efforts are focused on better gas turbine engines or improved aircraft designs. These improvements, however, only reduce carbon emissions to a limited extent. A more holistic and long-term view needs to be taken.
