    Aviation is the one field, where burning some form of carbohydrate is actually the only viable option. Batteries may be an option for short flights, but I don’t see any solution for long haul flights.

    Whether the fuel ends up being (synthetic) kerosene or some plant oil stuff doesn’t really matter, the turbine isn’t going anywhere.

      Yeah getting aircraft onto renewable energy is probably the lowest priority, if everything else was renewable it wouldn’t even matter if they were never renewable.

        no no, the planes need a big plate of spaghetti before long haul journeys
