Zero emission aviation with ZeroAvia and SystemiQ

We return for a new year of episodes covering the worlds of infrastructure and clean energy and first up is a fascinating discussion with hydrogen-powered flight pioneer ZeroAvia, as well as one of the company's backers in the form of SystemiQ.
We spoke to ZeroAvia's CFO Katya Akulinicheva and SystemiQ's Irena Spazzapan about the promise of zero emission aviation, investor appetite for this kind of proposition, government support, and the wider climate agenda as we move towards COP26 in the UK this year. And we also touched upon many other topics in a wide-ranging discussion that we here at the Joint Venture really enjoyed.
As ever, Maritina and Jon also took a look at some latest news from within the infrastructure and renewables sector, including an exciting hydrogen development and a potentially hugely popular IPO.
