Sino Jet Unveils Targets of Carbon Neutrality Plan

(07 June 2022, 09:32 +07)  Sino Jet has unveiled plans to align with the aviation industry emission contribution target, utilise the company's technological advantages to achieve carbon neutrality in its self-own fleet, and ground support businesses and office operations in 2025.

The company is also aiming to drive more than 20% of its managed aircraft to achieve carbon neutrality in flight operations by 2025, and ultimately achieve carbon neutrality in the entire Sino Jet Group in 2035.

To reach carbon peak by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 is China's commitment to the international community.

Sino Jet has responded to the nation's calling for carbon goals and is one of the first companies in the business jet sector to strategise a 'green aviation' development.

Sino Jet operated its first 'carbon neutral' business jet flight on 22 April 2022, promoting more research and inspiring the industry to explore and develop in carbon emission reduction.

In accordance with ISO 14064-1 and with reference to the 'Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard' set out by the World Resources Institute, Sino Jet conducted a comprehensive investigation and quantification of the company's carbon emissions based on its operations in 2021.

The investigation scope covered aircraft trading, aircraft management, charter flights, ground handling services and fixed-base operator (FBO) management.

The total Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from the chain of business jet services provided by Sino Jet was found to be 31,612.14 tons, of which Scope 1 emissions (including aviation fuel burn, gas burn, coolant, extinguisher) accounted for 28,282.48 tons, Scope 2 emissions (including purchased electricity and heating) accounted for 345.15 tons, with Scope 3 indirect emissions (including commuting, travel, consumables, and waste disposal) accounting for 2,984.49 tons.

On the basis of the findings of the investigation, Sino Jet has formulated a scientific path to achieve its carbon neutrality goal, and plans to focus on energy conservation and emission reduction, supplemented by carbon offsets, to improve existing green practices by digitalisation, sustainable energy applications, green office buildings, green transportation, green supply chain and carbon offset.

From those six aspects, Sino Jet aims to achieve its carbon neutrality goals as scheduled.

In terms of carbon emission per capita within the company, Sino Jet targets a 20% reduction in 2035 and a 40% reduction in 2050.

Sino Jet also seeks to drive more than 20% of its managed fleet to achieve carbon neutrality by 2025, and to achieve carbon neutrality in its entire business including aircraft management by 2035. Sino Jet also plans to incentivise green carbon neutral flight options to encourage its business partners and clients to join its carbon reduction journey.

Looking at Sino Jet's carbon emissions data in 2021, fuel burn was identified as the major source of emissions, and aviation fuel accounted for 88.53%. Naturally, acquiring efficient business jets, enhancing fuel utilization efficiency and construct green aviation system are key steps for Sino Jet to achieve carbon neutrality.

Currently, very few airports in the world supply sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and most of those airports are located in Europe and North America.

The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) set out a roadmap for green development in January 2022 to seek green and low-carbon development. China plans to significantly increase the use of SAF in 2030.

In light of this roadmap, Sino Jet has reached an agreement with China National Aviation Fuel Group Limited (CNAF) to be the pilot client for SAF at all domestic airports in the country.
