SATAVIA is reducing the climate impact of flying by mitigating the warming effect from the clouds produced by aircraft, enabling airlines to claim carbon credits as an incentive.
What we do
SATAVIA’s vision is to make aviation greener, implementing contrail management with leading operators like Etihad to cut per-flight climate impact.
Our industry-leading platform DECISIONX:NETZERO optimises flight plans for contrail prevention, quantifies achieved climate benefit, and converts into tradable carbon equivalent outcome units in a new global market.
Forecast
Contrail prevention flight planning incorporating contrail likelihood forecasts, founded on world-leading atmosphere and climate science
Validate
Validation of contrail prevention and achieved climate benefit, drawing on best-in-class atmospheric modelling and observational data
Offset
Conversion of achieved climate benefit into future carbon equivalent units, validated for trading on voluntary carbon exchange platforms
Tackling aviation’s non-CO2 impact with eco-conscious operators
SATAVIA is working with Etihad and KLM to integrate contrail management into day-to-day commercial aviation, tackling aviation’s significant non-CO2 climate impact. Etihad and SATAVIA are jointly developing the world’s first multi-year contrail management production contract, blazing a trail towards climate-neutral operations and enabling collaboration on the generation of future carbon credits. In 2022 and 2023, SATAVIA collaborated with KLM and KLM Cityhopper on the SkyTeam Sustainable Flight Challenge, winning Best Partnership Award and laying the basis for new engagements.
Gold Standard approves SATAVIA concept to deliver credits for contrail management activity
Leading voluntary carbon programme Gold Standard has approved SATAVIA’s methodology concept, paving the way to smarter, greener aviation. Following project design certification, SATAVIA will issue tradable Certified Mitigation Outcome Units (CMOUs), creating incentives for operators doing contrail management and stimulating climate action against aviation’s non-CO2 effects.
Industry-leading DeepTech with powerful sustainability applications.
SATAVIA’s industry-leading tech platform, DECISIONX, integrates numerical weather prediction modelling, Earth Observation data, and global asset-tracking to provide high-resolution and easily accessible atmospheric data. Developed in conjunction with UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the European Space Agency (ESA), DECISIONX generates unique insight into localised conditions anywhere, anytime, and from surface to space.
Strong and growing presence across multiple eco-systems.
SATAVIA partners with leading stakeholders across tech, scientific, and commercial sectors, including AWS, Microsoft, and the University of Cambridge’s Aviation Impact Accelerator.
Sustainability
SATAVIA’s vision is to make aviation greener by providing actionable insight to key stakeholders across the entire industry. Our contrail prevention platform, DECISIONX:NETZERO, enables eco-conscious operators to cut per-flight climate impact by up to 35% – equivalent to nearly 2% of all anthropogenic climate impact.
SATAVIA’s DECISIONX:NETZERO platform has been awarded the Solar Impulse Foundation’s “Efficient Solution Label”, a sign of our commitment to developing clean and efficient solutions to reduce aviation’s climate footprint. Among numerous other climate-related accolades, SATAVIA has also won the Air Transport World Eco-Technology Award with Etihad and the UK Government’s Green Builders of Tomorrow scheme.
