CREATING AN EMISSIONS REDUCTION STRATEGY
The carbon management hierarchy is a really useful tool to address emissions reductions and lays out this best practice approach:
- Avoid – Avoid carbon intensive activities and putting emissions into the atmosphere in the first place
- Reduce – Do whatever you do more efficiently
- Replace – Replace high-carbon energy sources with low- carbon energy sources such as jet fuel with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and combustion engines with electric fleets
- Remove – Offset those emission that cannot be eliminated by any of the above activity. This may include nature-based solutions or negative emissions technology, as well as many carbon avoidance projects that can be invested in
