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.
“We would need around half of Germany’s electricity to create enough of the fuels,” Lufthansa’s Carsten Spohr said at an aviation conference Monday, Bloomberg reported. He added that while green fuels made using renewable energy sources would help Lufthansa decarbonize its fuel consumption, the likelihood of having enough electricity to produce such materials was low.
“I don’t think Mr. Habeck is going to give me that,” Spohr said at the Hamburg conference, referring to German energy minister Robert Habeck.
