It seems that flying carbon free will take a little longer since the technology can not deliver a viable aircraft yet.

Mr Cloughley hopes to one day do away with any form of petrol-based fuel source but sees the biofuel engine as an interim solution on the path to a true carbon neutral version further down the line. 

At the moment, the technology does not exist for a plane that makes no emissions and a hybrid is the best compromise, he believes. 'All electric wasn't going to be possible straight off the bat,' he told The Guardian.
