Prospective airlines and various businesses operating with sustainable and green energy sources such as biogas may be my ideal collaborative allies.
What makes your idea innovative? Why has no one ever done it before?
Although this concept was conceived a long time ago, owing to a lack of funding and a reliable platform on which to launch it, I was unable to pursue it; nonetheless, my hunt for airlines that are moving to cleaner sources of energy, especially British Airways and Alaska Airlines, continues.
In regards to finding the right collaborator, what is the most immediate or most pressing challenge you're facing right now?
The upfront cost of transitioning from fossil fuels to greener and cleaner fuels would be extremely high since it would necessitate a complete overhaul of the infrastructure.
BONUS QUESTION: What is it about your idea that makes you feel good?
Alternative fuels are a cause of change in the global environment. Conventional fuels will run out if present consumption rates are persisted. These alternative fuels are ecologically sound and will help with carbon footprint management in the future.
Before we get started, just confirming your idea relates to the travel and tourism industry, yes?
Yes
Who will benefit the most from your idea?
The ideal beneficiary of this transition would be the people themselves, as the progressive reduction of carbon emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels would lead to a cleaner atmosphere, and the cost of aircraft tickets would become more affordable over time owing to lower fuel costs.

Making the world a better place can seem daunting. At Sigmund, we have found this list of UN Goals to be a great compass. What UN goals would you say your idea relates to?
Responsible Consumption and Production
Decent Work and Economic Growth
Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
Climate Action
Affordable and Clean Energy
At Sigmund, we are interested in ideas at the intersection of People, Planet, and Profit. How does your idea support these three categories?
The first step toward sustainable tourism would be to reduce carbon emissions. Changing to greener fuels would make aircraft more climate and environmentally friendly. The tickets would become economically viable for the public when fuel costs fall significantly.
