The airline industry accounts for approximately 3-3.5% of total greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. The main source of carbon emissions from airlines is from burning jet fuel during flights, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
There have been efforts in recent year to reduce carbon emissions of the airline industry, including the use of more efficient aircrafts, the development of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), and the implementation of carbon offsetting programs. SAF can be made from a variety of feedstocks, such as plant oils, agricultural and forestry residues, municipal waste, and algae. SAF can be used as a drop-in replacement for additional jetfuels or blended with them at various ratios. SAF has several advantages over traditional jet fuels. They have a lower carbon footprint and can reduce greenhouse gase emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional jet fuels.
By investing in projects that reduce or remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, individuals and businesses can help to mitigate the effects of climate change, such as rising sea levels, more frequent and severe weather events, and increased risk of droughts and wildfires.
By offsetting their carbon footprint, individuals and businesses can demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and encourage others to adopt more sustainable practices as well.
Carbon offsetting can support the development of clean energy and other low-carbon projects, such as reforestation and methane capture, which can help to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable development.
By investing in low-carbon projects and supporting sustainable practices, individuals and businesses can help to build a more resilient and sustainable economy that is less dependent on fossil fuels and more able to adapt to the impacts of climate change.
