I ka laulima ʻana me ka ʻAhahui Kaʻa Mokulele ʻĀina (IATA), Qatar Airways Cargo, ka mahele ukana o Pūʻulu ʻo Qatar Airways, e lilo i mea lawe ukana mua e hui me ka IATA kahua CO2NNECT a hāʻawi i kahi hoʻonā kūlohelohe kūlohelohe no kāna mau mea kūʻai aku. ʻO Kuehne+Nagel, kekahi o nā mea lawe ukana alakaʻi nui o ka honua, ʻo ia ka mea kūʻai aku no ka paepae, e like me kā lākou kūpaʻa i ka hoʻomau. No ka hōʻailona ʻana i kēia hui ʻana, ma ka lā 01 Nowemapa 2021, ua hoʻokele ʻo Qatar Airways Cargo i ka hoʻouna mua ʻana o ka mokulele carbon-neutral mai Doha a Frankfurt, Zaragoza, Liège a me Paris.
ʻO kēia mokuna hou o ka papahana hoʻopau kalapona manawaleʻa, i kūkulu ʻia ma lalo o kahi malu IATA, e hoʻokumu i kahi ʻoihana ʻoihana e hoʻolalelale i ka decarbonization o ka mokulele a hiki i nā ukana ea ke lilo i kalapona kūʻokoʻa ma o ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka helu kalapona i hoʻohui ʻia a me ka hopena offset ma waena. Qatar Hawaiian Airlines, nā mea lawe moku, a me nā mea lawe ukana e like me Kuehne+Nagel. Hāʻawi ia i kāna mau mea kūʻai i ka hōʻoiaʻiʻo ʻana o nā hōʻaiʻē i kūʻai ʻia no ka hoʻopau ʻana i kēia mau hoʻokuʻu ʻana mai nā papahana e hāʻawi ana i nā hōʻemi kalapona i hōʻoia kūʻokoʻa, a me nā pōmaikaʻi ākea ākea a me ka pilikanaka.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka papahana hoʻokele ma nā ala ʻehā (4), me ka manaʻo e hoʻonui i ke koena o kāna ʻupena ukana ʻoi aku ma mua o kanaono (60) mau wahi moku ukana a ʻoi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi haneli kanahā (140) mau huakaʻi huakaʻi holo honua. Hoʻohana ka pilote i kahi IATA ʻoihana maikaʻi loa no ka helu ʻana i nā hoʻokuʻu CO2 no ka ukana kg. Me kēia papahana, hiki i nā mea kūʻai ukana ke hoʻopau maʻalahi i nā hoʻokuʻu e pili ana i nā hoʻouna ukana ea, ma ke ʻano he hana i ka hoʻokō ʻana i kā lākou mau hoʻokō hoʻomau kaiapuni. E hoʻohana wale ʻia nā offset kūpono, kiʻekiʻe a me ICAO CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation).
Pūʻulu ʻo Qatar Airways ʻO ka Luna Nui, ka Mea Hanohano Mr. Akbar Al Baker, i ʻōlelo: "I ka hoʻomaka mua ʻana o Qatar Airways i kāna papahana carbon offset no nā poʻe holo i 2020, hauʻoli mākou i kēia manawa ke hāʻawi aku iā lākou i ke koho o ka lawe ʻana i ka ukana ea i kahi CO.2 ala kūʻokoʻa i ka wā e hiki mai ana. Aia ʻo Qatar Airways Cargo i ke poʻo o nā hana ʻoihana. Haʻaheo wau i kā mākou hoʻoikaika ʻana e kākoʻo i ka ʻoihana mokulele i ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā pahuhopu hoʻemi hoʻemi kalapona.
Willie Walsh, IATAUa ʻōlelo ka Luna Hoʻokele Nui, "ʻO ka pahuhopu o ka ʻoihana e hoʻokō i nā neʻe kalapona net-zero e 2050 pili i nā kaʻa a me nā ukana. Pono nō hoʻi i nā mea kuleana a pau o ka ʻoihana e hana pū a apo i nā hoʻonā hou. Hoʻomaikaʻi iā Qatar Airways Cargo no ka mea mua i hoʻokō i ka CO2NNECT, a iā Kuehne+Nagel no ka lilo ʻana i mea kūʻai aku. Ke hōʻuluʻulu nei ka honua no ka hālāwai COP26 e hoʻoikaika i nā hoʻolālā hoʻēmi kalapona honua, ʻo ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kēia hoʻonā offsetting e hōʻike ana i kā mākou kūpaʻa holoʻokoʻa o ka ʻoihana i ka ukana ea hoʻomau.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- This new chapter of the voluntary carbon offsetting program, built under an IATA umbrella, establishes an industry milestone to accelerate the decarbonization of aviation and enables air cargo shipments to become carbon neutral by offering an integrated carbon calculation and offset solution between Qatar Airways, shippers, and freight forwarders such as Kuehne+Nagel.
- In partnership with the International Air Transport Association (IATA), Qatar Airways Cargo, the freight division of Qatar Airways Group, will become the first cargo carrier to join the IATA CO2NNECT platform and offer a customized environmental solution for its clients.
- “As Qatar Airways first launched its carbon offset program for passengers in 2020, we are pleased to now offer them the option of transporting the air cargo in a CO2 neutral way in the future.
