When greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) enter the
atmosphere they act like a blanket around the earth, trapping in
the sun’s heat. Man-made contributors to greenhouse gases such
as CO2 come from farming, manufacturing, power generation and
transportation. Worldwide, the airline industry is responsible
for 2% of greenhouse gases. Funding the development of an
aircraft which flies without CO2 emissions is a necessary
development supported by KLM. In the meantime, we are reducing
the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by our aircraft and
other activities; and are helping to compensate emissions by
investing in CO2 reduction projects. What we can do together
