The actual process already exists in electrofuels. [0] . If one has enough hear/electricity, they could generate fuel directly usable in existing jet engines with captured CO2, making overall process CO2-neutral

- trevyn 7y agoCO2 is fungible, so no problem just using regular fuel and sequestering an equivalent amount of CO2 from elsewhere in the atmosphere. At $100/ton CO2 sequestration cost and 90kg CO2 per passenger-hour, that’s roughly $10/passenger-hour.
