LUFTHANSA OFFERS CLIMATE-FRIENDLY FUEL ,BUT AT A PRICE |
Lufthansa said Monday that the sustainable aviation fuel, or SAF, purchased that way will be added to one of the airline’s flights, reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by 80%.
The aviation industry has come under fire from climate campaigners for its comparatively large carbon footprint, though airlines note that it constitutes only 2% of man-made emissions worldwide.
Lufthansa’s Compensaid service comes at a steep price. A single economy-class ticket from Frankfurt to New York is 374 euros ($414) more expensive if customers buy SAF, a synthetic form of kerosene.
Passengers who opt to donate toward reforestation measures instead pay a 165-euro surcharge for the same flight.
