Awareness, understanding, and support for these innovations must be built. Tomorrow\u2019s Air is leading this effort in travel, convening and engaging travelers in the cause, purposefully empowering and expanding our powerful global travel community. Tomorrow\u2019s Air helps travelers walk the talk when it comes to climate action, and gain access to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomorrowsair.com\/traveler-benefits\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">curated set of benefits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from sustainable travel companies, too!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Carbon Removal Technology?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carbon dioxide removal technology takes excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and stores it away long-term, ultimately helping to restore our climate. Because society waited too long to reduce its emissions, we now understand that even if the world rapidly reduces or eliminates greenhouse gas emissions, we will still need to remove carbon dioxide to have a chance of limiting dangerous levels of global warming. Based on its assessment of the science, the IPCC report states, with high confidence, that \u201ccarbon dioxide removal is necessary to achieve net-zero CO2 and GHG emissions both globally and nationally [and] essential to limit warming to 1.5\u00b0 C.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supporting the expansion of carbon removal technologies such as direct air capture and hybrid nature-tech solutions such as biochar and enhanced rock weathering,\u00a0 alongside our protection and conservation of nature can help restore our climate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Sustainable Aviation Fuel?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is a key component in the set of solutions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions generated by air travel. As a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0biofuel that can be used to power airplanes, SAF is <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cdrop in\u201d fuel that can be mixed with conventional jet fuel and requires no modification to existing jet engines and airport infrastructure. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SAF is created from renewable sources such as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">waste oil and fats, green and municipal waste and non-food crops<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These products are processed to produce a more sustainable, safe and powerful jet fuel substitute that can reduce carbon emissions by up to 80 percent compared to using fossil jet fuel. Despite its benefits the International Air Transport Association (IATA), reports that the use of sustainable aviation fuels was only 0.1 percent of the total jet fuel consumption in 2022. Tomorrow\u2019s Air is helping to expand the use of sustainable aviation fuel by aggregating and coordinating traveler and travel business demand for it, which will help grow the supply and expand its use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-portfolio wp-image-2430\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hikeandsail.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/How-direct-air-capture-and-mineralization-works_graphic-courtesy-Climeworks-via-Tomorrows-Air-2-1-495x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"495\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hikeandsail.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/How-direct-air-capture-and-mineralization-works_graphic-courtesy-Climeworks-via-Tomorrows-Air-2-1-495x400.jpg 495w, https:\/\/www.hikeandsail.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/How-direct-air-capture-and-mineralization-works_graphic-courtesy-Climeworks-via-Tomorrows-Air-2-1-845x684.jpg 845w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Direct Air Capture<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Tomorrow\u2019s Air partner Climeworks\u2019 direct air capture, carbon collectors capture carbon dioxide from ambient air. Air is drawn into the collector with a fan, and adheres to a filter within the collector. Once the filter is saturated, the collector is closed, and the temperature is increased, releasing pure CO2 which can then be mineralized, or used in other products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biochar<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biochar captures and stores carbon dioxide by stabilizing natural processes of decay in organic matter and keeping it safely in the ground. Tomorrow\u2019s Air partner Pacific Biochar\u2019s technique allows it to modify existing biomass power plants for biochar production. The biochar created is used in soil applications. Biochar can help enhance the overall health of soil by helping hold plant nutrients in topsoil. It also supports increases in crop yield, and can also help conserve water used for crops by improving the water retention of the soil.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-portfolio wp-image-2431\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hikeandsail.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pacific-biochar_BiGchar-3826-2-1-495x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"495\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hikeandsail.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pacific-biochar_BiGchar-3826-2-1-495x400.jpg 495w, https:\/\/www.hikeandsail.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/pacific-biochar_BiGchar-3826-2-1-845x684.jpg 845w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enhanced Rock Weathering<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Tomorrow\u2019s Air Partner, Eion, carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere and stored safely through enhanced rock weathering. The natural process of chemical weathering is sped up by applying crushed silicate rock - olivine - to soil. Through existent moisture and acidity in the soil, the crushed rock dissolves, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and CO2 is removed from the air through the formation of stable bicarbonate ions, which flush through the soil and eventually make their way to the ocean where they\u2019re stored permanently.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-portfolio wp-image-2432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hikeandsail.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Eion-Enhanced-Weathering_courtesyEION-2-2-1-e1706994135916-495x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"495\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hikeandsail.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Eion-Enhanced-Weathering_courtesyEION-2-2-1-e1706994135916-495x400.jpg 495w, https:\/\/www.hikeandsail.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Eion-Enhanced-Weathering_courtesyEION-2-2-1-e1706994135916-845x684.jpg 845w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We All Share the Same Air<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carbon dioxide is extremely well-mixed in our atmosphere: emissions from one part of the world mix in with emissions from other parts of the world.
