  But all this travel comes at a steep carbon cost. Kerosene is a “long-chain hydrocarbon”, which means it is made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms (specifically C 12 H 26 C 15 H 32 ). Other vegetable oils face land use and carbon footprint concerns. In 2022, aviation accounted for 2% of global CO2 emissions.
