Private jets emit a lot of carbon.

Because they are only transporting a small number of individuals per flight, private aviation is a huge source of emissions into the environment.

Now, there’s a public company trying to solve it.

What’s happening:

• Las Vegas based private aviation company Jet AI (NASDAQ: JTAI) has launched a new platform called DynoFlight to try to tackle the carbon problem of private jets
• DynoFlight aims to make enabling carbon offsets easy for individuals and companies using private planes

How it works:

• DynoFlight tracks the carbon emissions of your private flight and then provides suggestions on how to offset it
• They can also directly purchase the carbon offsets on behalf of a company or individual
• Further, they provide proof of purchase and official certification of the carbon offsets

Why it matters:

• Aviation companies are notorious for burning fossil fuels and being a huge source of harmful emissions, leading many startups to work on disruptive technology for sustainable fuel and more
• Finding new ways for air travel to be more climate friendly is a hugely important problem to solve to get closer to net zero emissions globally

Going deeper:

• Jet AI and DynoFlight have partnered with Glanris to be their supplier of carbon credits
• Glanris has developed an innovative technology that leverages biochar for carbon dioxide removal and creates functional applications in water, soil and even concrete
