In collaboration with Climeworks, we incorporated their direct air capture (DAC) technology into our Green Choice Add-on as of last week. The now available premium option ‘Aviation Tech Pioneer’ combines 20% CO₂ removal through direct air capture and 80% reduction achieved by the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). 🌍✈ As Climeworks’ DAC technology has emerged as a key technique to foster emissions removal and fight climate change, we want to look into it a bit further and explain how it works. As shown in the graphic below, the ambient air is drawn into a collector by a fan where a filter captures the CO₂. Once the filter is filled with CO₂, the collector closes, and the temperature is increased to around 100°C. In this process, the carbon dioxide is extracted and stored underground, where it turns to stone within two years. The CO₂-filtered air is released back into the atmosphere. We are proud to offer our Swiss WorldCargo customers this pioneering option that will foster innovation to create a more sustainable future for the air cargo industry and advance us further in achieving our carbon emission mitigation goals. 

We are excited to announce the launch of our new high-quality carbon removal offer in collaboration with Climeworks. Their direct air capture (DAC) technology is one of the key technological solutions to fight climate change. It captures CO₂ directly from the air, reducing the atmospheric concentration of CO₂. The carbon dioxide is safely stored underground by turning it into stone through natural processes. The partnership with the Swiss-based globally leading company in offering carbon removal services, enables the enhancement of our Green Choice Add-on Service with a new premium offering called ‘Aviation Tech Pioneer’. On the AWB level as well as in bulk, customers can now select combinations of direct air capture and Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) for their shipments. This makes us the first air cargo carrier to incorporate pioneering, high-quality technological solutions to decarbonize aviation. As sustainability is a core aspect of our operations, this collaboration underlines our dedication to create a more sustainable future for the air cargo industry. It acknowledges the importance of accelerating key technologies by establishing partnerships that drive sustainability initiatives forward. Choose our offer ‘Aviation Tech Pioneer’ and support the scale-up of carbon removal technologies while getting closer to reaching your scope 3 emission reduction targets. Become the next Aviation Tech Pioneer! ✈
