Oh gawd, what an idiotic article. This is a UK Defence initiative and not just RAF. See here for the policy statement:

No one is advocating anything more than carbon offsetting - ie. for every tonne of CO2 you drop in the atmosphere in dead dinosaurs out of the back of your Typhoon, Atlas, Chinook, etc... then the MOD will look to either remove the same amount (synthetic fuel made from renewable energy by smashing H2O, O2 and CO2 together is being pioneered by Porsche right now and others are following) or create energy through solar/wind on the estate to offset the energy created previously through fossil means. NET ZERO is the clue, with NET meaning something that is added or subtracted to achieve ZERO.
Even if the MOD achieves 50% of its stated aim, then surely it’s better than doing nothing at all???
