Lufthansa Group has become the latest airline to sign on for the Airbus Carbon Capture Offer. One of Europe’s largest airlines, Lufthansa joins All Nippon Airways, Air Canada and easyJet in adding durable carbon removal to their decarbonization portfolio, backed by Carbon Engineering’s Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology. Lufthansa has contracted to pre-purchase verified and durable carbon-removal credits for 40,000 tonnes of CO2, with credits supplied by our partner, 1PointFive. DAC is expected to play a critical key role in enabling airlines to decarbonize, both as a high-integrity form of carbon removal, and by scaling the atmospheric CO2 available as a feedstock for synthetic sustainable aviation fuel in the coming years.

The Lufthansa Group joins Airbus Aircraft’s carbon-removal initiative🤝. It is considered a promising solution for reducing CO2 in the atmosphere: The so-called Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS) technology filters CO2 from the air and stores it permanently. The Lufthansa Group began exploring this innovative process at an early stage and sees it as a complementary instrument in its sustainability strategy. The Lufthansa Group has now signed a contract with Airbus Aircraft on the pre-purchase of verified and durable carbon-removal credits of 40,000 tonnes of CO2. The carbon-removal credits will be issued by Airbus through its ACCO (Airbus Carbon Capture Offer) service. The certificates will be available from 2026 and an annual purchase of carbon-removal credits of 10,000 tonnes of CO2 has been agreed for four years. The signing of the contract follows a joint declaration of intent from 2022. #MakeChangeFly More information https://lnkd.in/eNtc4PuY
