Germany Is Spending €2 Billion to Discover the Real Price of Clean Jet Fuel

He currently runs his own company,… Electric aviation is advancing faster than many critics expected.
Batteries will not remain confined to tiny experimental aircraft, and short regional routes are a credible early market.
But electric aircraft will not replace every jet.
Long-haul aviation requires enormous energy at very low weight.
Even with better batteries and airframes, liquid fuels will retain a large role for decades.
The question is therefore which sustainable aviation fuels can reach scale at a price airlines can eventually afford.
Germany has now designed a €2-billion experiment to help answer that question.
According toEASA’s 2025 reference prices, synthetic aviation fuel averaged approximately €7,520 per tonne, compared with €640 for conventional jet fuel.
Germany is preparing to support a product that costs almost twelve times more than the fuel it is meant to replace.
Yet the scheme may be one of Europe’s more intelligent attempts to scale an immature technology.
It makes producers compete to close the gap.
