Challenge

Norwegian faced difficulties developing a biofuel strategy and lacked a decision basis to prioritize flights for biofuel usage. Traditional industry averages fell short in providing the insights needed for their sustainability goals.

Enhanced decision-making

Norwegian gained reliable metrics to showcase their progress towards reducing CO2 emissions.

 

Custom Solutions for Impactful Sustainability

Terravera developed a custom model tailored to Norwegian’s operations. The model calculated CO₂ emissions per passenger for each flight based on fuel consumption, aircraft type, and load factor. Using this model, Norwegian could prioritize specific flights for biofuel use and document the impact of their measures.
