IATA, TRAVALYST JOIN HANDS ON FLIGHT CO₂ EMISSION CALCULATIONS
From Nurul Jannah Kamaruddin
GENEVA, Dec 7 (Bernama) -- The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is collaborating with Travalyst to provide consumers with a consistent, accurate and widely available calculation of their carbon footprint from air travel.
The collaboration will focus on both data and standard methodology for route-based passenger carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions calculations for aviation at scale, including a shared position on how to account for sustainable aviation fuel.
These efforts will bring greater transparency, accuracy and consistency to how a traveller’s carbon footprint is calculated as all sectors of the aviation and travel industries come together in pursuit of Net Zero goals, IATA said in a statement.
“Consumers want to understand the environmental impact of their travels. Both Travalyst and IATA are continuously working to improve their methodologies by incorporating emerging knowledge of climate impacts.
"So we are working together to provide the consumer with easy access to consistent calculations of the environmental cost of their travel,” said IATA director general Willie Walsh.
Meanwhile, Travalyst chief executive officer Sally Davey said: "In the face of the climate emergency, travellers want and need clear and unequivocal information about their carbon footprint on which to base travel decisions."
