  But all this travel comes at a steep carbon cost. In 2022, aviation accounted for 2% of global CO2 emissions. 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.

Could green hydrogen be key to a carbon-free economy? The Saudis are going big on something called green hydrogen — a carbon-free fuel made from water by using renewably produced electricity to split hydrogen molecules from oxygen molecules. As Europe intensifies its decarbonization drive, it, too, is betting big on the fuel.
