Elevating Remote Communities with Sustainable Air Transport
Imagine what opening runways in remote communities could mean for their future. Beyond offering better connectivity, it's a gateway to countless opportunities. Sustainable air transport is more than just environmentally friendly; it's a catalyst for positive change.
Expanding Accessibility:
By expanding runways and promoting eco-friendly aviation practices, remote communities gain easier access to the world. Residents can fly in and out efficiently, fostering a stronger connection to the broader region.
Job Creation:
The growth of sustainable air transport brings more than just convenience. It opens doors to employment opportunities. New infrastructure requires personnel, from pilots to ground crews, creating a workforce right within the community.
Boosting Tourism:
Sustainable air travel invites tourists to explore the pristine beauty of these remote locations. Tourism drives the local economy, supporting restaurants, hotels, and small businesses. It's an economic boon for communities.
Environmental Responsibility:
A significant aspect of sustainable air transport is the reduction in carbon emissions. Greener aviation practices protect the environment, ensuring the natural beauty remains untouched for generations to come.
Overall, sustainable air transport isn't just about better accessibility; it's a holistic approach to community growth, preserving the environment, and embracing the future.
The Future of Sustainable Air Transport: A Step Closer
In the realm of air transportation, we're propelling towards a more sustainable future, and it's not as distant as you might think. Our primary focus revolves around three eco-friendly fuel options: full electrification, hydrogen power, and green methanol, all produced on-site.
In the domain of full electrification, we're closely following Lilium, a pioneer dedicated to creating a sustainable high-speed regional transport system for both passengers and cargo. Their Lilium Jet, an all-electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, combines impressive capacity, minimal noise, high performance, and zero emissions.
Additionally, our commitment to green methanol allows us to power traditional piston engine aircraft, replacing the conventional Avgas. With on-site green methanol production, we provide environmentally friendly fuel for our piston engine helicopters and aircraft. It's all part of our journey toward a greener, more sustainable air transport future.

Our land transportation can be categorized into three main segments: Public Transport, Personal Transport, and Work Machinery.
When it comes to public transportation, we place our trust in SkyWay. They specialize in overhead string rail cars that are fully electric and have minimal impact on the environment. These rail cars can reach speeds of up to 150 km per hour, offering a quiet, smooth, and reliable mode of transportation.
For personal transport, we are currently engaging with Auve Tech, a company that produces self-driving autonomous vehicles for taxi-like transportation. This innovative system enables residents and guests to conveniently order a personal autonomous taxi directly from their smartphone, providing point-to-point transportation within our community.
Lastly, in terms of work machinery, we prioritize the use of electric power for smaller vehicles. However, for heavier machinery, we have partnered with industry leader JCB to supply our hydrogen-powered work machinery. JCB faced the challenge of finding a zero-carbon alternative to fossil fuels that could handle the demanding workloads of heavy machinery, operating up to 12 hours a day in remote locations such as backhoe loaders and large excavators. The solution they developed is hydrogen technology.
The engineers at JCB Power Systems, based in Derbyshire, UK, have successfully created the industry's first hydrogen motor. By leveraging existing engine technology and readily available components, hydrogen is combusted to deliver power in a similar way to a diesel engine. The prototype backhoe loader, equipped with this innovative hydrogen motor, is capable of performing all the tasks of its diesel-powered equivalent. What's more, this technology is simpler compared to hydrogen fuel-cell technology, emitting nothing but steam from the tailpipe and producing zero CO2 at the point of use.
