Can Shell help pilot a new era of sustainable aviation? One of the world’s largest oil and gas companies is betting that the future of flying is carbon-neutral. While I’m not yet convinced aviation can become truly sustainable, I’m encouraged that there is at least a flight path pointed toward that destination.
