British Airways signs £9mn worth of carbon removal and CCUS deals
"There is no pathway to net zero for aviation without carbon removals.”
British Airways has announced a raft of agreements to purchase carbon credits from carbon capture, utilisation and storage schemes, as well as reforestation and biochar projects, for a total of more than £9 million.
The airline estimates that about a third of its emissions will have to be offset through carbon removals by 2050, and is attempting to stimulate the market through this initiative – specifically a six-year deal to purchase 33,000 tonnes worth of credits from UK firm CUR8, which specialises in sourcing “high-quality” carbon removals.
