Ngomyalelo wamva nje we-Boeing 737 MAX, eyona nqwelo-moya intsha yaseAlaska ine-22% yokusebenza kakuhle kwepetroli kwisihlalo-ngesihlalo kunenqwelomoya ezithatha indawo yayo. I-Alaska yinkokeli ekusebenziseni ubuchwepheshe obuphambili ekuphuculeni ukusebenza kwenqwelomoya, kwaye iya kuqhubeka nokulinganisa ezona zenzo zilungileyo, kwaye yandise ukusetyenziswa kobukrelekrele bokwenziwa kohlobo lokuqala kunye nobuchwepheshe bokufunda kumatshini ukucwangcisa iindlela zokwandisa. Njengenxalenye yeenjongo zayo ezikufutshane, i-airline iya kunqumla ukukhutshwa kwesiqingatha sezixhobo zayo zeenkonzo zomhlaba ngo-2025 ngokuthengwa kunye nokusetyenziswa kwezixhobo zomhlaba zombane kunye nezinye izinto ezihlaziyiweyo.
Izicwangciso zexesha elide zokuphumeza ukukhutshwa kwe-net-zero ziquka ukwandisa imarike ye-SAF kunye nokuphonononga kunye nokuqhubela phambili iindlela zokuqhubela phambili ezinoveli ezixhasa ubuchwephesha bokufakelwa kombane kwinqwelomoya yengingqi, ezinokuthi mhlawumbi zingaxhomekekanga kumafutha efosili, okanye ezisebenza ngokufanelekileyo kuneendlela zangoku. Kwaye ngenxa yokuba ukuhamba ngenqwelomoya lelinye lawona macandelo anzima kakhulu kwi-decarbonize, i-Alaska iya kusebenza kwakhona kunye nesayensi kunye nengcebiso yobugcisa kwiCarbon Direct ukuchonga kunye ne-vet ethembekileyo, iteknoloji yokunciphisa ikhabhoni ephezulu ukuvala naziphi na izikhewu eziseleyo kwindlela eya kwi-net-zero.
"Emva konyaka onzima, eli lixesha elinomdla kwinkampani yethu, njengoko sibuyela ekukhuleni ngelixa sifaka uzinzo ngakumbi kwinkcubeko yethu, sibeke iinjongo ezibukhali kwaye sisebenzisane namaqabane aqalayo ukugcina inkampani yethu, uluntu lwethu, kunye nokusingqongileyo somelele kwaye usempilweni ixesha elide,” utshilo uDiana Birkett Rakow, usekela mongameli weAlaska Airlines kwimicimbi yoluntu kunye nozinzo. “Ubhubhane walola ukucaca kwenjongo yethu kwaye wasikhokelela kwindlela eyomeleleyo eya phambili. Kodwa siyayazi ukuba asinakuyenza le nto sisodwa kwaye kufuneka sisebenzisane norhulumente, abavelisi, abavelisi bezinto ezintsha kunye namanye amahlakani kushishino ukukhupha ikhabhoni.
Ukujoyina i-Amazon Climate Pledge
Njengesiphumo sesicwangciso-qhinga sokukhutshwa kwe-net-zero ka-2040, i-Alaska Airlines namhlanje ityikitye kwiSibhambathiso seMozulu, ukuzinikela ekuphumezeni i-net-zero-carbon 10 iminyaka phambi kweSivumelwano saseParis.
Ukongeza, inkampani ikwabhengeze iinjongo zeminyaka emihlanu zokunciphisa inkunkuma ngokupakishwa okuzinzileyo kunye nokuphinda iqalise ukuphinda kusetyenziswe i-inflight ekhokelela kwi-post-COVID, ngelixa ilungisa i-100% yokusetyenziswa kwayo kwamanzi ngotyalo-mali kwiiprojekthi zokuhlala ezikumgangatho ophezulu.
