    I’m not european and it’s pretty unheard of to use trains to reach other gulf states (like kuwait, UAE oman etc) but it makes sense.

    What about travelling to other continents? I’d assume there’s no alternative to that.

      We should focus on reducing the emissions we can easily reduce right now. As I’ve said, intercontinental travel is not a huge part of plane travel/emissions in Europe.

      You can make synthetic fuel from CO2 and lots of electricity, and researchers say, that this might be something for those long flights. But it will make them much much more expensive.
