Sustainability – Travel Innovation Services

Our sustainable commitment

We are proceeding for a 2024 pregnored with news about green on the use of renewable sources such as solar energy wind energy for our business also we are striving to adapt our systems of airline ticketing train hotel and car rental for offsetting carbon emissions determined by the needs of those who are by work circumstances in continuous mobility for their business.

In fact, every year scientists make a statement of the planet’s CO2 emissions: a balance in which they calculate the expenses, that is, all the resources that the earth’s inhabitants consume and that are needed to absorb the waste or emissions produced, and the revenues, that is, the capacity of ecosystems to meet our demands.

This balance is always negative: we always deplete more than we need to and always before the end of the calendar year.

The bad news is that the balance could get worse.

The good news is that there is still time for us to become thrifty savers of Earth’s resources.

It is precisely for all these reasons that we, too, have decided to do our part and engage all those, who travel through us to contribute towards our planet, so that we can leave a better future for the generations to follow.

Is the airplane the most polluting means of transportation?

This calculation involves a large number of factors between kilometers flown, type of aircraft (including age), how many passengers, and in the end it is always a guess.

To estimate emissions we need to know the fuel consumption per km, multiply it by a specific emission factor, which depends on the fuel used.

To this figure we add the emissions related to the manufacturing stage of the means of transport or the emission factors related to radiative forcing in the case of aircraft. Then the value is divided by the number of passengers and the number of kilometers traveled and we get a value in g CO2/passenger/km. However, we should say CO2 equivalent, because this figure also includes other greenhouse gases, such as methane.

To simplify, the European Environment Agency relies on this table:

4 g CO2/passenger/km for train

42 g CO2/passenger/km for a small car

55 g CO2/passenger/km for a medium car

68 g CO2/passenger/km for a bus

72 g CO2/passenger/km for a two-wheeled engine

285 g CO2/passenger/km for an airplane

Offsetting CO2 with trees means initiating a structured corporate sustainability project that begins with planting and continues with monitoring, management, and maintenance of the forest area created and leads to the reduction of the company’s emissions and becoming a green company.

Emissions that cannot be cut must be offset through the purchase of carbon credits (carbon credit) generated through reforestation activities and protection of parks and nature reserves that act as if they were the lungs of our planet: they “breathe” carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
