A customized contract based on flight data and CO2 emissions.
Green Fare - The Lufthansa Group continues to expand its portfolio of sustainable travel offers and since February 15, 2023, has been the world's first airline group to offer its own fares for more climate-friendly flying: The Green Fares - Fare for CO,-neutral flying.The concept of the new fares already include offsetting of flight-related CO, emissions. This is achieved by using 20% Sustainability Aviation Fuels (SAF), which are currently produced from biogenic residues such as used cooking oil, and 80% by contributing to high-quality climate protection projects.
Explanation of Circular Economy Practice
The SAF Bulk deal is designed for both corporate business travel and travel agencies. They have the flexibility to purchase SAF in any quantity, either based on their specific requirements or according to the CO2 emissions generated from their flights with Lufthansa Group. It can also be integrated into travel agent's tour packages, promoting carbon footprint reduction among customers.
Corporate customers can receive a CO, mitigation certificate for the CO, reduction achieved with the Sustainable Aviation Fuel.
The Green Fares will make it possible to fly more sustainably in the future with just one click, as the new fares already include offsetting of flight-related CO, emissions. This is achieved by using 20 percent Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) and 80 percent by contributing to high-quality climate protection projects. These climate protection projects avoid or save CO2 and, at the same time, contribute l the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. The Green Fares also offer additional status miles and a free rebooking option.
The product launch is an important building block in our efforts to make air travel more climate-friendly The new Green Fares will be offered by Lufthansa group carriers on more than 730,000 flights per year within Europe and to Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. The fares can be booked via the airlines' websites as well as the NDC platform in Economy Class and Business Class.

More Product / Service Highlights
Innovate new technology for future SAF:
Power to Liquid (PtL)
Basis: Renewable energies such as wind power, solar energy, hydropower or biogas plants.
The idea: To produce a synthetic crude oil from renewable electricity, water and COz.synthetic crude oil that can be processed into kerosene.
Sun-to-Liquid (StL)
Basis: The power of the sun
The idea: Use high-temperature solar heat, water and CO2from the atmosphere to produce synthesis gas. This gas is the Basis for the production of sustainable solar aviation fuel.
