"People, stop celebrating yourselves for getting the cheapest airline tickets." Thorsten Lange, senior vice president of fuel manufacturer Neste, has no sympathy for the cheap-flight craze.

Neste is increasingly making "sustainable aviation fuel" ("SAF" for short) from old cooking oils, such as those from McDonald's. Although this is more sustainable, it is also very expensive: Due to the current low price of crude oil, it is currently seven times more expensive than conventional - fossil - kerosene. In this interview, Thorsten Lange explains what the current target blending rate of 2% on all global flights will cost passengers and what sources of sustainable fuel will be developed in the future.

Be excited for first-hand insights into the work of a man who decided in his mid-50s, "I want to take on a new challenge and do something more meaningful," and moved from chief buyer at Lufthansa to the Finnish company Neste in Holland.
