China Airlines offers passengers carbon footprint offset tool
China Airlines is allowing passengers to calculate and offset their carbon footprint when booking a flight online. The carrier partnered with UK environmental organisation ClimateCare to introduce the program, known as ECO TRAVEL Carbon Offsetting. After calculating their personal CO2 emissions for a journey, passengers can offset their carbon footprint by supporting ClimateCare projects. A CAL passenger flying from Taipei to Los Angeles, for example, would generate 1.66 tonnes of CO2, according to the calculator, which could be offset with US$17.18 for a ClimateCare project. Calculations are based on fuel consumption as well as passenger and cargo loads . The airline has also started using sustainable aviation fuel and plans to widen SAF usage as part of its carbon emissions reduction efforts. <br/>
