Sustainability enhanced
The world needs a future of zero-emission travelling and latest at COP26 we have heard how the United States followed UK in committing to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from their aviation sector by 2050 . To achieve these targets, the industry will need to consider all measures: taking in clean aircraft technologies and propulsion systems, sustainable aviation fuels, advances in materials, manufacturing and aircraft maintenance and more efficient airspace and airport operations.

Lygg is paving the way with its revolutionary platform that will provide a fast track for the commercialization of the clean technologies. The company is working hard to build aviation revolutionising MaaS platform, enabling emission free electric flying to the masses.

Carrying our responsibility over climate impact by partnering with Compensate
Lygg has a powerful mission to cut the carbon emissions of the short- distance aviation and demanding target group of business travellers. As it will be a challenging task and will take several years to reach net-zero in Lygg’s own operations, they have searched for a trusted partner to support them on mitigating the emissions of operations that cannot be avoided or reduced currently.

Compensate has acknowledged the challenges around different compensation schemes and is aware of potential market failures – they have created stringent project evaluation for the compensation with a support of Scientific Advisory Panel. The criteria and methods used by Compensate have assured the Lygg team.
Lygg trusts Compensate’s unique overcompensation approach, to mitigate risks identified with the carbon methodologies of specific projects and ensure real climate impact. In addition, overcompensation ensures that more carbon dioxide is always removed than the carbon footprint being compensated for. By selecting Compensate and its rigorous sustainability approach, Lygg ensures that its mitigation efforts meet stringent criteria for additionality, verifiability, traceability, and permanence.

"Climate crisis needs ambitious goals and actions in all areas. Lygg's vision for a more sustainable travel service is a great example of the direction we need to take. We're very happy to provide our high-integrity offsetting to support Lygg's path in taking responsibility for the unavoidable emissions we cause."says Elina Kajosaari, CEO of Compensate.

Roope Kekäläinen, co-founder and CEO of Lygg said:
“The future will look totally different - it is crucial to cut not only emissions, but also micro particles and noise pollution. The outcome is important to cities, the planet, and people’s wellbeing. Europe can be a catalyst for the new sustainable electric aviation, and we can build a commuter-belt of short-range flights faster than anywhere else in the world. We are extremely proud that the acknowledged Compensate team is supporting us on our path towards our vision.”
