The Infrastructure Podcast: Episode 158
Guest: Caroline Longman and Hannah Vickers of nuclear consultant Equilibrion
This this week's episode we discuss the decarbonisation of global aviation - and specifically a new project that aims to leverage the growth in nuclear technology to accelerate us towards a new world of affordable e-SAF - sustainable aviation fuels. Because for all the pressures of driving towards a net zero emissions future, the world's hunger for air travel continues to grow. Which leaves the environmental cost of traditional kerosene as no longer sustainable. And to be honest, given the impact of war in Iran, the pressure to accelerate towards new types of fuel is only going one way.
Caroline Longman, director and guiding mind at nuclear energy consultancy Equilibrion and by Commercial lead Hannah Vickers
join me to talk us through a potential solution - Equilibrion’s flagship e-SAF project, Eq.flight.
A series of conversations with some of the key leaders and influencers from across the UK infrastructure sector, produced and hosted by journalist and commentator Antony Oliver.
The next episode of the Infrastructure Podcast will be published on Monday 13th April 2026
