About Climate.aero

Climate.aero is the exclusive CO2 compensation program tailored for the general and business aviation sectors, automatically calculating and offsetting CO2 emissions. Utilizing transponder data and aircraft performance profiles, our algorithm calculates the CO2 emissions from your flights. With SAF credits and/or Voluntary Carbon Credits procured from organizations like VERRA and Gold Standard, we guide you towards sustainable practices. Join Climate.aero and receive a distinctive QR logo linking to your aircraft page, where you can showcase your environmental efforts.

Climate.aero has curated a comprehensive database comprising more than 200,000 private aircraft and tracking their flight movements. With over 100 million data points processed daily, our sophisticated algorithm estimates CO2 emissions for the majority of these flights. This empowers aircraft owners and operators to embrace our 'set and forget' principle. By simply setting up your account, we take care of all the intricacies: from conducting emissions calculations to procuring sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and carbon credits, and even reporting your climate efforts.

Gold Standard and VERRA projects offer numerous advantages in sustainability and environmental stewardship. These initiatives ensure real and measurable impact, prioritize sustainable development, and drive innovation and collaboration. By supporting Gold Standard and VERRA projects, the members of Climate.aero contribute to genuine emission reductions, poverty alleviation, and biodiversity conservation, while fostering trust and encouraging sustainable solutions.

At Climate.aero, we operate on the principle of usage-based billing to ensure fair and accurate carbon emissions compensation for our members. Here's how it works:

  1. 1 Monthly Emission Calculation:
    Using transponder data collected from flights, we calculate the amount of CO2 emissions generated each month.
  2. 2 Compensation Level Selection:
    Members choose their desired compensation level (Silver, Gold, or Platinum), which determines the amount of Voluntary Carbon Credits required to offset their flights.
  3. 3 Carbon Credit Purchase:
    Based on the chosen compensation level, we purchase on behalf of our members the necessary Voluntary Carbon Credits from accredited organizations to offset the calculated emissions.
  4. 4 Emission Verification:
    Before sending out the bill, members have the opportunity to review and verify the calculated emissions to ensure accuracy.
  5. 5 No-Flight, No Charge:
    If members do not fly during a particular month, there is no need for compensation, and no bill will be issued.

This usage-based billing system ensures that members only pay for the carbon emissions they generate, promoting transparency, accountability, and sustainability in air travel.

At Climate.aero, we believe that communicating about climate efforts is just as crucial as offsetting emissions. That's why we've published over 200,000 aircraft profiles on our website, with the majority containing comprehensive emission profiles.

When aircraft owners choose to offset their flights, whether through our program or others, this information is proudly displayed in their profiles. Even compensations purchased through different programs can be showcased on Climate.aero.

As a paying member of Climate.aero, you'll receive a personalized QR logo. These QR codes link directly to your aircraft profile on our website. Interested individuals can scan the QR code to learn more about the climate actions undertaken by the aircraft owner, ensuring transparency and accountability in our collective efforts toward sustainability.

Climate.aero is a startup with a clear mission: to lead the general aviation industry towards a greener future by empowering aircraft owners with eco-conscious solutions. Our dedicated team is committed to pioneering innovative services that prioritize environmental sustainability and efficiency. At Climate.aero, we don't just promote eco-friendly practices; we facilitate aircraft owners in adopting them.

More about Climate.aero

Are you a private aircraft owner or operator wondering if Climate.aero is the right fit for you? Our services are tailored specifically for individuals and organizations in the private aviation sector. It's our goal to facilitate aircraft owners and operators with the most advanced tools for becoming climate neutral.

At this moment, we do not offer a service yet for passengers wishing to offset a single flight. However, stay tuned for updates as we continue to expand our offerings to better serve your needs.

If you opt for our 'set and forget' compensation program, we offer three compensation levels: Silver, Gold and Platinum Partner. With this program, you will only be billed for compensation when your aircraft has been flying, eliminating fixed costs. Additionally, we handle all the calculations and procurement of SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) credits and voluntary carbon credits on your behalf.

It's worth noting that the cost for compensating is very small compared to the total operation costs of an aircraft, typically representing only a few percent of the total. When you decide to 'start compensating,' you can easily obtain a cost estimation tailored to your particular aircraft and average number of flights per month. This process involves just a few simple steps, and the cost estimation is completely free and non-binding.

For aircraft owners already utilizing a third-party compensation program, we offer the option to publish their compensation amounts for free. If you wish to have these figures accredited by us, a small membership fee is charged.

Using Climate.aero to document CO2 compensation enhances an aircraft's reputation and can increase its resale value. An aircraft with a proven compensation history not only benefits the current owner's reputation but also positively impacts the reputation of any future owner, making it more valuable than a similar aircraft without such a history.
