DECISIONX:NETZERO
Status date: 13 March 2024
SATAVIA is reducing the climate impact of flying by mitigating the warming effect from the clouds aircraft make and enabling airlines to claim carbon credits as an incentive. Globally, aircraft contrails trap heat in the atmosphere and increase aviation’s climate impact by over 30%, contributing to global warming. From 2025 the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) will require airlines to report this impact.
SATAVIA’s technology provides atmospheric intelligence to change flight plans to avoid contrail-forming conditions. The mitigated climate impact is verified by SATAVIA and converted into tradable units by a patented method with the backing of Gold Standard, a major carbon accreditation platform.
