About atmosfair gGmbH

atmosfair is a climate protection organisation with a focus on travel. We actively protect the climate, for example by offsetting greenhouse gases with renewable energies. Our increasingly globalised society also brings with it growing mobility, both in our professional and private lives. Despite all the advantages, the climate factor also comes into play: the earth's atmosphere can only tolerate a certain and limited amount of CO₂ until 2100. And since most modern means of transport are fuelled by fossil fuels, further growth will quickly reach climate-friendly limits. atmosfair is taking on a role in this transformation process: there is currently no technical solution for air travel, such as problem-free biofuels or zero-emission aircraft. Just as there is already a train ticket with renewable energy today, or small hydroelectric power or wind turbines in the electricity sector, there will be a renewable solution in the aircraft industry at some point, perhaps the solar hydrogen aircraft. As long as this solution does not exist, and as long as there is no more climate-friendly alternative on the desired route, air passengers can offset the greenhouse gases of their flight with atmosfair. Passengers voluntarily pay a climate protection contribution based on their emissions, which atmosfair uses to expand renewable energies in countries where they are still scarce, i.e. primarily in developing countries. In this way, atmosfair saves CO₂ that would otherwise have been produced by fossil fuels in these countries. At the same time, local people benefit as they often have access to clean and constantly available energy for the first time, which is essential for education and equal opportunities.
