EVA Air calls for rap-up of sustainable aviation fuels
EVA Air has reaffirmed its commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
The Taiwan-based airline outlined its pledge to sustainability at the annual conference of the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA), held online and co-hosted by EVA Air.
Clay Sun, the airline’s president, also encouraged industry colleagues to fully commit to reopening travel and gradually reinvigorating the airline industry.
EVA Air was the first Taiwan-based airline to promote the ‘Green Travel’ Carbon Offset Programme in 2017.
When a passenger buys a ticket they can go to a dedicated website at https://evaair.co2analytics.com/home and calculate their carbon emissions based on seating class, flight distance and number of passengers in their party.
Passengers can also choose to donate equal or optional amounts to support ClimateCare’s international carbon reduction project.
"We ask governments worldwide to approve use of sustainable aviation fuels and support alternative energy research and production facilities. We also strongly appeal to all airlines to comply with standards of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and its Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA," Sun said.
EVA Air uses the more eco-friendly Boeing 777-300ERs and 787s as the backbone of its operations.
In 2020, EVA l said it saved a total of 13,218 tons of fuel, reducing emissions by 41,636 tons of CO2e.
"EVA Air urges every airline, government and fuel supplier to make sustainable aviation fuel available to the industry and develop newer technologies needed to support this objective."
