United Airlines yapanga mbiri lero - Tsiku Lachilengedwe Padziko Lonse - ndikuchoka kwa Flight for the Planet, ndege yazamalonda yabwino kwambiri yamtundu wake m'mbiri ya ndege.
Pa Flight for the Planet, United idakhala ndege yoyamba yodziwika kuti iwonetse zonse zotsatirazi zofunikira paulendo umodzi wamalonda: kugwiritsa ntchito biofuel yosasunthika; ziro kanyumba zinyalala khama; kuchotsedwa kwa carbon; ndi magwiridwe antchito.
United ikugwiritsa ntchito Flight for the Planet kuti iwunikire njira zazikulu zowuluka mokhazikika momwe zingathere pogwiritsa ntchito ukadaulo waposachedwa wa ndegeyo, zothandizira komanso njira zopulumutsira mafuta. Ndegeyo idachoka pachipata cha B12 kumudzi waku United States ku Chicago O'Hare chifukwa cha "eco-hub" ku Los Angeles, komwe ndege yokhazikika yamagetsi yathandizira kuyendetsa ndege zonse kuchokera ku Southern California hub kuyambira 2016.
"Mbiri ya Flight for the Planet ikuwonetsa filosofi ya United yogwirira ntchito limodzi kuti tipeze njira zatsopano komanso zatsopano zotitsogolera ku tsogolo lokhazikika," adatero Scott Kirby, Purezidenti wa United. "Monga ndege, timawona chilengedwe chathu mwanjira yapadera tsiku lililonse ndipo tikudziwa kuti tiyenera kuchita mbali yathu kuteteza dziko lathu ndi mlengalenga."
The Flight for the Planet ikuwonetseranso kudzipereka kwa United pakulonjeza kwawo molimba mtima kuti achepetse mpweya wake ndi 50% pofika 2050.
Sustainable Aviation Biofuel
United ikupereka mphamvu ku Flight for the Planet pogwiritsa ntchito 30/70 kuphatikizika kwa mpweya wochepa, mafuta osasunthika oyendetsa ndege operekedwa ndi Boston-based World Energy, ndi mafuta amtundu wa jet. Mafuta a biofuel okha amachepetsa kuchulukirachulukira kwa 60% kwa mpweya wotenthetsa mpweya pa moyo wonse poyerekeza ndi mafuta amtundu wa jet, ndipo kugwiritsa ntchito mafuta opangira mafuta ndi njira imodzi yothandiza kwambiri yomwe ndege ingachepetse kuwononga chilengedwe.
United posachedwapa idakonzanso mgwirizano wake ndi World Energy, ndikuvomera kugula mpaka magaloni 10 miliyoni amafuta okwera ndege okwera mtengo pazaka ziwiri zikubwerazi. United inali ndege yoyamba padziko lonse lapansi kugwiritsa ntchito mafuta oyendera ndege mosalekeza ndipo ndi ndege yokhayo ku United States yomwe ikuchita izi.
Zero Cabin Waste ndi Viwanda-Choyamba, Recyclable-Paper Cup
Mu kanyumba ka Economy, United ikusinthana ndi zokhwasula-khwasula zachikale ndi ntchito yabwino yodzaza ndi zinthu zomwe zimatha kubwezeredwanso kapena compostable serviceware, kuphatikiza kuyesa koyambirira kwamakampani, mapepala obwezerezedwanso, kapu yachakumwa yotentha.
Mu kanyumba kokulirapo, United ikupitilizabe kugwiritsa ntchito zida zogwiritsiridwanso ntchito ndikusinthana zivindikiro zapulasitiki pomanga chakudya cha phula. Ndegeyo ikuchotsanso zomata za pepala kuchokera kuzinthu zasiliva. United yachotsa kale timitengo tomwe sitingathe kubwezerezedwanso ndi ma cocktails pa ndege padziko lonse lapansi ndikuyikapo chinthu choteteza chilengedwe chopangidwa ndi nsungwi 100%.
Kusintha kwa Carbon
United ikuchotsa mpweya wotsala wa ndegeyo kudzera mwa wothandizira watsopano wa carbon offset, Conservation International. Conservation International tsopano ikugwirizana ndi United pa pulogalamu ya ogula carbon offset - Eco-Skies CarbonChoice - ndipo pamodzi ogwirizana awiriwa ayang'ana kwambiri ntchito ya CI yolimbikitsa mayankho okhudzana ndi chilengedwe pakusintha kwanyengo.
Zogwira Ntchito
United yapanga ndalama zambiri m'zombo zamakono, zowotcha mafuta pomwe ikugwiritsa ntchito zosintha zamachitidwe kuti zithandizire kusunga mafuta. The Flight for the Planet ikuwonetsa kukwera taxi kwa injini imodzi, kuyika patsogolo kwa Air Traffic Control komanso njira yotsikira ku Los Angeles, yomwe imapulumutsa mafuta ndikuchepetsanso phokoso mumzinda. United ikuyendetsa ndegeyo pogwiritsa ntchito ndege yake ya Eco-Skies Boeing 737-900ER, yomwe nthawi zambiri imanyamula anthu okwera makilomita 77 pa galoni imodzi yamafuta.
Kuphatikiza apo, 40% ya zida zogwirira ntchito zapansi zoyenerera ku United (GSE) ndizoyendetsedwa ndi magetsi, ndipo zoposa 70% za ndege zomwe zimagwira ntchito pamtunda wake ku Los Angeles eco-hub pogwiritsa ntchito zida zamagetsi za GSE. United ndi ndege yoyamba kugwiritsa ntchito mayunitsi atsopano a magetsi a ITW 7400 omwe amachepetsa kwambiri phokoso la malo ogwira ntchito ndikuchepetsa mpweya wotulutsa mpweya ndi 90%. United ikugwiritsanso ntchito zida zapansi zoyendetsedwa ndi magetsi kuti zithandizire Flight for the Planet ponyamuka ndi pofika zipata.
Kudzipereka kwa United ku Zachilengedwe
United's Flight for the Planet ikuyimiranso njira ina yatsopano yomwe ndegeyo yachita kuti ichepetse zomwe zikuchitika ndikuwonetsetsa kuti imadziwika kuti ndi ndege zomwe zimasamala kwambiri zachilengedwe padziko lonse lapansi. Zambiri mwazabwino kwambiri zomwe United idachita pazachilengedwe ndi izi:
Kukhala ndege yoyamba padziko lonse lapansi kugwiritsa ntchito mafuta oyendera ndege mosalekeza, zomwe zikuwonetsa ntchito yofunika kwambiri pamakampani popitilira mayeso ndi ziwonetsero zakugwiritsa ntchito mafuta opanda mpweya wocheperako tsiku lililonse pantchito zomwe zikuchitika.
Kuyika ndalama zoposa $ 30 miliyoni ku California-based Sulcrum BioEnergy wopanga mafuta oyendetsa ndege, yomwe idakali ndalama imodzi yaikulu kwambiri ndi ndege iliyonse padziko lonse lapansi pamafuta osatha. Mgwirizano wa United wogula pafupifupi magaloni 1 biliyoni kuchokera ku Fulcrum BioEnergy ndiye mgwirizano waukulu kwambiri wochotsa mafuta amafuta mumakampani opanga ndege.
Kukhala ndege yoyamba kuwuluka ndi mapiko a Boeing's Split Scimitar, omwe amachepetsa kugwiritsa ntchito mafuta ndi 2 peresenti yowonjezereka motsutsana ndi mapiko wamba; United ndiye oyendetsa mapiko akulu kwambiri a Scimitar masiku ano, ndipo pafupifupi ndege 400 zili ndi mapiko awa.
Kukhala ndege yoyamba ya ku United States yogulanso zinthu kuchokera ku zida zapadziko lonse zonyamula katundu wapadziko lonse lapansi ndikuthandizana ndi Clean the World kuti apereke zinthu zaukhondo kwa omwe akufunika thandizo.
Kuthandizana ndi Audubon International kuteteza raptors - kuphatikiza akambuku, akadzidzi ndi kestrel - m'malo ozungulira a United ndi kukhazikitsiranso mbalame zodya nyama kumalo komwe mitunduyo imatha kuchita bwino.
ZOMWE MUNGACHITE PA NKHANIYI:
- The biofuel alone achieves a greater than 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions on a lifecycle basis compared to traditional jet fuel, and using biofuel is one of the most effective ways an airline can reduce its impact on the environment.
- United was the first airline globally to use sustainable aviation biofuel on a continuous basis and the only airline in the United States to currently do so.
- Pa Flight for the Planet, United idakhala ndege yoyamba yodziwika kuti iwonetse zonse zotsatirazi paulendo umodzi wamalonda.
