Decarbonising the skies

Air travel connects our world, but it comes at a cost — accounting for over 2% of global CO2 emissions. Sustainable aviation fuels are a step forward, but a true Net Zero future needs a technological leap: a new generation of aircraft that produce zero carbon emissions.

The Freedom Flight Prize sets one audacious goal — to incentivise the first 100+ seat, zero-carbon passenger aircraft capable of flying between London and New York, sparking the "space race" of sustainable aviation.

One audacious goal

Incentivising a revolution

Aviation is one of the greatest challenges in the fight against climate change. At Carbon Footprint Ltd, we believe that today's climate action must also fund tomorrow's innovations.

That is why we are proud founders and supporters of the Freedom Flight Prize. To achieve a true Net Zero future, we need a technological leap: a new generation of aircraft that produce zero carbon emissions. The ultimate goal must be to reinvent aviation itself.

The Freedom Flight Prize is a multi-million-pound prize fund designed to accelerate this revolution. It sets a single, audacious goal: to incentivise the creation of the first 100+ seat, zero-carbon passenger aircraft capable of flying between London and New York - a feat that will change the world.

By creating a powerful incentive for the world's greatest engineers, innovators and entrepreneurs, the Prize aims to spark the "Space Race" of sustainable aviation, dramatically shortening the timescale for this essential technology to become a reality.

A foundational commitment

This is more than just a project we admire; it is a mission we actively fund with your help. We have made a foundational commitment to the future of our planet: for every tonne of CO2 our clients offset with us, we donate 5% of the sale to the Freedom Flight Prize fund.

This transforms your purchase from a simple transaction into a powerful, forward-looking investment. When you offset your emissions with Carbon Footprint Ltd, you are not only taking responsibility for your impact today - you are also becoming a patron of the ground-breaking technology that will help protect our planet for generations to come.

Your offsetting today helps to fund the zero-carbon flights of tomorrow.
