The world’s fifth-largest automaker, Ford Motor Co., recently unveiled a plan to become fully carbon neutral within 30 years and fully transition its factories to so-called green energy within 15 years.
A month later, nine more US companies, including Microsoft, announced a new joint initiative to develop research, guidance and a roadmap for achieving zero emissions. This initiative also aims to support a “sustainable transition” towards helping low-income communities affected by climate change. They may have been exemplified by JetBlue Airways, the first major American airline to pledge shortly before the outbreak of the pandemic to reduce carbon emissions on all its domestic flights and become carbon neutral by the end of this year, and one of the world’s largest carriers, Delta Air Lines. announced plans to develop an ambitious 10-year strategy in which it will spend at least a billion dollars and become a carbon-neutral airline. These are very important initiatives as US airlines account for about 8 million metric tons of emissions annually.
