Thursday, May 26 – The Demand for Cargo Airships in the North

The first webinar leads off with a panel to consider the demand for cargo airships in the North. The discussion begins with an eye-witness account of climate change and what the melting Polar Ice Cap means to the Arctic environment and transportation.

Northern communities and resource developments need airships to augment the limited ground infrastructure. The need for better transport in the North, and the role that cargo airships could play is presented from a defense and security perspective, a mining company standpoint and the requirements of government.

Green aviation is a challenge. All technologies are being examined through the lens of sustainability and net-zero carbon emissions. This webinar will explore the “greenness” of airships and plans for an historic return to the North Pole.
