JetBlue announces plans to become carbon neutral on domestic flights

The New York-based airline said this will entail offsetting between 15 billion and 17 billion additional pounds of emissions per year, which the company noted is "the annual equivalent of removing more than 1.5 million passenger vehicles from the road."

The airline will offset the carbon impact of its jet fuel by investing in projects focused on forest conservation and landfill gas capture, as well as in solar and wind power generation initiatives. The company also said that it will begin using sustainable aviation fuel this year, purchased from Finland-based Neste, on flights from San Francisco International Airport.

The plan is an extension of initiatives already in place, which have seen JetBlue purchase more than 2.6 billion pounds of carbon dioxide offsets since 2008,The airline did not say how much the proposed plan will cost, and did not mention any plans for offsetting international flights.
