Boron does, though, burn like billy-o, generating a bright, green flame and releasing about 40% more energy per kilogram than conventional aviation fuel.

不过硼确实可以快速燃烧，产生明亮的绿色火焰，每千克要比传统航空燃料多释放约40%的能量。

While not completely carbon neutral, diesel made from TDO does produce an 80-90% reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, compared with the conventional fuel.

虽然并非完全碳中和，但与传统燃料相比， 由 TDO 制成的柴油确实可以减少 80-90% 的二氧化碳排放量，而二氧化碳是主要的温室气体。

Over the last couple decades, we’ve been able to make a few million liters of synthetic jet fuel in a few different ways, but so far, it’s still more expensive than conventional jet fuel.

在过去的几十年里，我们已经能够通过几种不同的方式制造出数百万升的合成喷气燃料， 但到目前为止， 它仍然比传统喷气燃料贵。

That’s why the best bet may be to create synthetic jet fuel that holds as much energy as conventional jet fuel, is just as safe, causes less pollution, and could work within the current system.

这就是为什么最好的选择可能是制造合成喷气燃料，其能量与传统喷气燃料一样多，同样安全，造成的污染更少，并且可以在当前系统中工作。
