German airline Lufthansa has tried to make a sustainability push in recent years— the introduction of “Green Fares” earlier this year is one example, wherein customers can opt for fares in which the carbon off-setting feature is already built in. The company also says it’s among the biggest buyers of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), which are alternatives to traditional fossil fuels.
But while Lufthansa has tried to do its bit to adopt sustainable practices, the company’s chief has said that switching the airline to green fuels like e-kerosene could come at a big price—half of Germany’s electricity supply.
