Carbon Offset Program The "Green Travel" EVA Carbon Offset Program is a formal collaboration between EVA Air and ClimateCare, the renowned British climate management and sustainable development company. The carbon discharge coefficient per kilometer (or mile) for each passenger is calculated according to the carbon emissions calculation guidelines published by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), using fuel consumption and passenger capacity data of various EVA Air aircraft models. After a ticket purchased at the EVA Air global website, passengers can go to the dedicated website (evaair.climatecare.org) to calculate their carbon emissions based on the seating class, flight distance, and number of passengers. The passenger may select to donate an equal or optional amount in support of ClimateCare's international carbon reduction project and complete the "zero-carbon travel".
All the carbon reduction projects through ClimateCare have been certified by independent institutions using international standards including the Gold Standard (GS) or the Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS) in order to reduce the global carbon dioxide emissions or improve the living environment of impoverished regions. EVA Air has never received any economic benefits from these projects.
