Carbon Offset
A carbon offset is a monetary contribution to renewable energy research and production projects designed to offset the effect of carbon emissions. Stratos Jets, through its Eco-jet Charter Program, offers clients the option of buying carbon offsets. This typically amounts to less than one per cent of the total private jet charter cost. In order to utilize these carbon offsets in a meaningful way, Stratos Jets partners TerraPass. This company offers carbon-offsetting products to both business and individuals. TerraPass uses the proceeds from the Stratos eco-jet program to fund greenhouse gas reduction initiatives in several key areas. These include:
- Wind energy
- Farm methane digesters
- Landfill methane flaring
- Clean energy
A Positive Impact
As we all know, private charter flights burn fossil fuels. Until someone develops an alternative—such as electric- or solar-powered aircraft—this won't change. This is why the eco-jet charter program is so important. It gives private jet travelers an opportunity to balance a negative impact with a positive one. Even by increasing the total private jet charter cost by just one percent, the eco-jet program allows clients to make a significant impact. This is because companies like TerraPass are able to channel contributions for multiple businesses and individuals into large projects.

- Carbon Emissions
Carbon Emissions
Carbon emissions refer to the release of carbon gases (also known as greenhouse gases) into the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels. This includes everything from burning coal to power factories to burning jet fuel in private planes. Carbon emissions are widely believed to have a negative impact on climate change. Over the past two centuries, industrialization of our civilization has led to an exponential increase in the amount of fossil fuels we burn. As a result, more carbon gases reach the atmosphere. One of the consequences of this is that these gases help trap heat, similar to how a greenhouse functions (hence the name). Even a small increase to the average temperature of the planet could have significant social, environment and economical impacts. This includes:
- Arctic ice is melting
- Sea levels are rising
- More severe and unpredictable weather patterns
Offsetting Emissions Caused by Private Planes
To counteract this pattern, companies like Stratos Jet Charters are rallying behind initiatives designed to offset carbon emissions caused by private planes. Through our Eco-Jet Charter program, we give corporate clients and individual an opportunity to support clean energy programs. We do this by partnering with an organization called TerraPass. They use a combination of educational awareness and customer funded emissions-reduction programs, such as:
- Farm animal waste management
- Wind-generated electricity
- Landfill gas capture
TerraPass also works with companies to develop targeted renewable energy solutions for their specific operations.

- Carbon Credit
Carbon Credit
A carbon credit is a certificate or permit used by global industries to control greenhouse gas emissions. In private aviation, companies like Stratos Jet Charters have started eco-jet charter programs to help clients offset their carbon footprint. It allows them to contribute to carbon reduction initiatives in a meaningful way, without significantly increasing the cost of private jet travel.
Making a Difference
In addition to placing a cap on the total annual emissions allowed, global trading partners use carbon credits to fund carbon reduction initiatives all around the world. For instance, Stratos Jets partners with a company called TerraPass. They offer opportunities for individuals and businesses to purchase carbon offsets. When a Stratos Jets client requests an eco-jet charter flight, they agree to a slight increase in their cost of private jet travel. TerraPass then uses that surplus to fund a range of innovative projects, including:
- Renewable energy
- Energy conservation
- Alternate energy
By using these contributions for a single cause, TerraPass can fund larger projects that yield substantial results. They can achieve much more using this collective approach than an individual could acting alone. As a result, private jet travelers have peace of mind knowing he or she has is making a difference.
