"Clean kerosene is currently still far too expensive to be used in relevant quantities," says Sigi Knecht, CEO of the German sustainability initiative "aireg".
Jet fuel (Jetfuel A-1) made from renewable energy currently costs around five times as much as conventional kerosene - produced from crude oil. One way to get to the required ten percent blending by 2025 is also a direct levy on passengers:
"In the end, passengers will also have to make a contribution, but I think that willingness exists."
But how can this be made palatable to passengers and airlines - without any subsidies at all?
Look forward to an informative conversation with the Director of Clean Flying.
