Gas turbines can run on a variety of fuels, natural, synthetic or a mixture of both. It’s actually one of the reasons that a turbine was chosen for the M1.

Yeah but gas turbines by definitions run on "gas" kerosene based fuel. If you're talking about a battery powered fan or prop that's very different.

  • Kerosene is a mundane chemical.

    It is made with from water, carbon dioxide and energy. Use green energy and atmospheric CO2, and it is carbon neutral.
