An eco-label similar to the energy labels that are already in place to build their houses, consumers would be able to help you to make a decision on a particular airline or flight. On the basis of the label they choose for themselves, for the ‘most beautiful run’, and that it would be able to assist in the reduction of the CO2 emissions from air travel. That is reported by the netherlands Institute for transport Policy analysis (KiM) in a Monday report published.
at The research institute of the ministry of Infrastructure, public Works and water management was highlighted in the study is On the green, a tour of ten of the options in the map to reduce the CO2 emissions from the fly to bring it back. “Eligible options that have been eco-labels, and to bet less often and less far, and will not be able to fly,” said KiM.
The study was carried out before the outbreak of the corona virus, which is the air traffic, there is an enormous change.
According to the KiM’s would be the promising options are a relatively large number of target group able to access, and leads to behavioral changes, until a substantial reduction in CO2. “There is a reasonable expectation that the group trigger to the behavior.” In order to come up with options to reduce them, at the end, KiM will also go to the audiences, their behavior would have to change.
“If it flies, not everyone is the same.” Almost half of the people who fly in for a period of one year, or not at all. For the people who have to fly for vacations and to visit family and friends, it is a little more than 10 per cent to 40 per cent of the airline. “People with higher incomes, those living in metropolitan areas with a high level of education and, in a lot of air travel.”
Especially in long-distance travel, the so-called inter-continental travel, the amount of CO2 emissions. “The inter-continental pilots have above-average often in the population of the three largest cities in the Netherlands. They are highly educated, have higher incomes, and those in the age group of 25 to 34 years of age and between 65 and 75 years old,” said KiM.
To those people in the plane to get it, you need more than just a label. KiM mentions, among others, fly tax affect, and the promotion of affordable and comfortable alternative to the plane or restrictions on the growth of the aviation industry as options.
