\u201cFort Worth-based American Airlines has a long-term goal to reach net-zero emissions by 2050\u2014largely by investing in technologies to reduce its carbon footprint. But today it also announced the purchase of \u201ccarbon removal credits\u201d to help accelerate and scale the CO2 removal market.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graphyte\u2019s Carbon Casting process uses \u201creadily available\u201d biomass, efficient processing, and state-of-the-art monitoring to make carbon dioxide removal \u201cquantifiable and permanent.\u201d Compared to existing carbon removal approaches, the company says Carbon Casting \u201cpermanently removes and stores CO2 using significantly less energy and at a substantially lower cost.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To reach its net-zero goal, American\u2019s chief focus is to reduce CO2 emissions within its operations by acquiring more efficient aircraft, using low-carbon sustainable aviation fuel, and other measures. But it recognizes that carbon credits will play a critical role in eliminating aviation\u2019s residual emissions, Graphyte noted.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And of course, both top brasses of the respective companies are already amped to work together in fighting climate change according to an American article<\/a> which reports, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a landmark agreement for both Graphyte and American Airlines,\u201d said Barclay Rogers, CEO of Graphyte. \u201cIt demonstrates the growing demand for affordable and scalable high-quality carbon removal credits and the ability of Carbon Casting technology to make a significant impact in the fight against climate change in the very near term.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAmerican is focused on accelerating new low-carbon technologies to reduce aviation\u2019s climate impact,\u201d said Jill Blickstein, Chief Sustainability Officer at American. \u201cHard to abate industries like aviation will need high-quality, permanent, affordable and scalable carbon credits \u2014 including removals \u2014 to achieve our emissions reduction goals. We are excited to work with Graphyte to help them scale their important new technology.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While financial terms were not disclosed by either company, it is known that the airline company has purchased 10,000 tons of permanent carbon removal which will be delivered by Graphyte in 2025. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
