The fuel mentioned in the article — "sustainable aviation fuels, or SAF" — is biofuel I believe, not synthetic fuel.

- denimnerd42 3y agooh gotcha. To me it's all in the same. Some engineered alternative that produces less carbon. it's terribly semantic though because every fuel today is engineered to produce less emissions.
- handy2000 3y agoRight, agreed - it's an improvement over what we currently use! From what I read E-fuel is very expensive to produce, so I was surprised by the possibility of airplanes switching to it.
- denimnerd42 3y agoSounds more feasible than electric planes though. That never made viable sense to me. At least they could build a 737 sized alternative fuel plane today.
