Can the Sky Be Green?
summary
Global CO2 emissions have doubled since 1980 and the safe budget allows roughly one Frankfurt–Rome round trip per person per year to stay under 1.5°C; Lufthansa targets carbon neutrality by 2050 and relies on sustainable aviation fuels that chemically capture CO2, SAF already powers 360,000 flights but current supply would let Lufthansa fly on SAF for one week worldwide, scaling needs an EU investment framework, passengers face about €200 extra to fly SAF to New York, and the company aims to buy twice the SAF regulators require within five years.
