    Air travel could be effectively decarbonised if green electricity cost were close to zero. When electricity does not cost a thing you can make synthetic fuel from water and atmospheric CO2.

    There is no way to replace burning fuel to power long haul flights, but the fuel does not need to come from fossil oil.

    For short haul electric planes can be a good solution when trains are out of the question.
