two German airlines, according to a study of the Top Ten of the least harmful to the climate, Airlines of the world. As the environmental organization, Atmos announced the fair on Saturday, landed TUIfly on place four and Condor on place nine.
The highest climate efficiency of the British Airline TUI Airways reached as in the previous year, the Brazilian LATAM. Atmosfair rating of around 200 large companies worldwide according to their environmental impact.
The Index is based on the CO2 emissions of an airline on a per-km and passenger on all of the flown distances. Of the 50 most climate-friendly Airlines 14 come from Europe and 10 from China.
"Our results show that the efficiency of the Airlines in the world currently, it is not a 1.5 degree or 2-degree target," said Atmosfair CEO Dietrich Brockhagen on the impact of emissions on global warming. "We need new, synthetically and is CO2-neutral-produced fuels, and other measures for Climate change in air traffic."
Global grew to 2018, the CO2 emissions of Airlines by 5 percent, the flown distance increased, however, by Pinbahis a good 6 per cent. "The necessary decoupling of transport growth and CO2 emissions is not more in sight." It was still open, as the industry of wool to reduce its emissions so much that they will, in accordance with the Paris climate agreement after the year 2050, CO2-free, complained the activists.
New aircraft models - for example, the Boeing 787-9, Airbus A350-900 or the Airbus A320neo according to atmosfair, the bar for achievable CO2-efficiency is significantly higher, and save huge amounts of kerosene. After all, every tenth examined line managed to hold, despite more of flown km of your CO2-emissions constant, thanks to efficiency increases.
"This is a first step on the way to the objectives of the Paris climate agreement, the world's rapid and far-reaching CO2 reductions required," stressed the organization. However, these Airlines are in the absolute climate efficiency only in the upper midfield. "This shows the challenge of how to improve the CO2-efficiency on a continuous basis."
The activists gave advice on how each flight, travellers can make a contribution to climate protection. If possible, avoid flights with a Change of trains. In addition, anyone can look up a booking in the climate Index, which Airline is the eco-friendly most on-the-go. Because the fuel consumption per passenger and km could be on the same route with an airline, more than twice as high as that of the other. In addition, each passenger have the opportunity to donate to offset his flight money for the climate protection in developing countries. Or you decide to drive for shorter distances for the railway.
