Address your journey's carbon emissions
Malaysia Airlines have partnered with Chooose™ to enable impactful climate action options for our passengers. By understanding the carbon emissions from your flight, you can support verified climate solutions that will reduce or remove CO2 emissions equivalent to the estimated carbon footprint of your journey.
What is a carbon footprint?
A carbon footprint is the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions arising from a specific activity, such as your flight. The CO2 emissions of a flight depend on the aircraft used, the distance flown and the amount of passengers and cargo the aircraft carries.
How do you calculate my carbon emissions?
Our CO2 emissions calculations are based on and take into account parameters such as all scheduled flights, aircraft fuel consumption, seat configuration, and historical load factors for more than 400 airlines. The precision of the calculation will depend on the input data.
What is carbon offsetting, and how does it work?
Carbon offsetting enables individuals and organizations to take climate action by voluntarily supporting certified third-party projects that contribute to the reduction, avoidance, or removal of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Certified carbon projects issue carbon credits. Each carbon credit, carbon offset, or emission reduction unit represents a single unit of GHG emissions (being one (1) tonne carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e)) that is reduced, avoided, or removed from the atmosphere. A unit of GHG emissions can be reduced, avoided, or removed through various methods or project types (e.g. forestry projects, landfill methane recovery and destruction). Carbon offsetting provides financing for these certified carbon projects. The purchase of a carbon offset or carbon credit enables the buyer to offset their GHG emissions by contributing to these projects that reduce, avoid, or remove GHG emissions elsewhere in the world. A claim to have offset emissions is validated under a set of rigorous conditions—the emissions reductions, avoidances, or removals must be additional, measurable, auditable, permanent, and unique. The certification process for a carbon offset project is robust.
Will addressing my carbon emissions create a positive impact?
Yes. When you offset the carbon footprint of your flight, you'll support climate solutions like renewable energy projects, community projects, or nature-based solutions such as carbon removals. Emission reductions enabled by project activities and certified to a credible carbon certification body must adhere to the principle of “additionality” – to be materialized and monetized as carbon offsets. This means that the projects are being implemented as a result of the (expected) proceeds from the sale of carbon offsets, enabling project developers to overcome the difficulties they face. In other words, you are not supporting a project that would have been carried out anyway. The additionality case is checked by third-party auditors and the respective carbon certification body at project inception. What will happen to my climate contribution? When you offset your carbon emissions, the funds paid are used to support climate projects that reduce, capture, or avoid greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions in an amount equivalent to that of your calculated carbon footprint. The funds paid are dedicated to purchasing and canceling third-party certified carbon offsets. The carbon offsets made available in this program are Voluntary Emission Reduction (VER) units, certified by various credible and internationally recognized carbon certification standards such as the VCS, the Gold Standard, American Carbon Registry, and Climate Action Reserve, as well as Certified Emissions Reduction (CER) units certified by the United Nations. The offset price you pay is the total cost to deliver the carbon offset.
