Yeti Airlines – Nepal’s first and only carbon neutral airline – is further enhancing their efforts towards a greener future by testing the use of an electric van in the airport premises. According to a research by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) a typical passenger vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year.
Yeti Airlines by adopting the use of an electric van for their services will be creating a major positive environmental impact. “If the electric van trial brings a positive response, Yeti Airlines commits to replace all of its 20 units of petrol engine vans with these Mahindra e-Supro electric vans,” a press note from the airlines reads, adding that the initiative of Yeti Airlines will further promote Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No 13 ‘Climate Action’. “Setting an example to all the airlines in Nepal, Yeti Airlines has been working on this goal for a long time with remarkable results to show for their efforts.”
Yeti Airlines was also able to offset its GHG emissions by procuring carbon credits that is Certified Emission Reductionsunder the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) through the ‘Climate Neutral Now’ platform.
In the past, Yeti Airlines undertook various environmental and social projects such as the Yeti Green Re-forestation Project, and Green Far West Project, and continues to work on the Everest Clean Up campaign also, it adds.
Yeti Airlines’ managing director Chanda Sherpa and UNDP Nepal Resident Representative Ayshanie Medagangoda Labé were present during the inauguration for the trial use of the electric van today.
On the occasion, managing director Sherpa said that introduction of an electric van is an opportunity to show the airlines commitment to carbon neutrality, which is the company’s honest and realistic approach to environmental conservation. “We take pride in being a pioneer to endorse a positive change which I believe will encourage everyone to make a conscious effort to save our earth.”
Congratulating Yeti Airlines on unveiling its first electric car, Resident Representative of UNDP Ayshanie Medagangoda Labé said that Yeti’s one more step forward in its carbon neutrality journey made the UN happy. “We are with the company in this journey to advance the sustainable development that I am sure will inspire many others so that our collective efforts will curve pollution and save our planet.”
