>Neither is long haul travel, particularly.
Aviation and shipping make up 5-6% of GHG emissions, not a trivial amount. Aviation is projected to expand several-fold by 2050 which, in the context of decarbonisation, means it will take up a progressively larger fraction of global emissions over time. It will be one of the last and greatest challenges - which is exactly why it will require offsets, carbon capture or otherwise. The aviation's offset market, CORSIA, is already one of the most developed in the world.
Your optimism about electrifying aviation is not shared by the industry.
