Description

Air passenger carbon neutrality practices information presentation system and method thereof The present invention relates to a system and method for providing information on carbon neutrality practices for airline passengers. More specifically, the invention relates to a system and method for providing information on carbon neutrality practices for airline passengers that pre-registers the weight of baggage actually to be carried on an aircraft (hereinafter referred to as "carry-on baggage weight") out of the baggage weight allowed for a passenger who has purchased an airline ticket to carry on an aircraft (hereinafter referred to as "allowed baggage weight"), calculates the amount of carbon neutrality practiced by the passenger based on the difference between the allowed baggage weight and the carry-on baggage weight, calculates the amount of carbon neutrality practiced by each aircraft based on the amount of carbon neutrality practiced by the airline passenger for each aircraft, and provides the calculated amount of carbon neutrality practiced to the relevant airline a certain date/time prior to the departure date/time of the aircraft, thereby enabling the implementation of carbon neutrality according to the calculated amount of carbon neutrality practiced by each aircraft. According to the International Aviation Carbon Offset and Reduction Scheme (CORSIA), carbon emissions from the aviation sector in 2018 accounted for 2.4% of global energy carbon emissions. Combining domestic and international flights, approximately 895 million tons of carbon dioxide were emitted annually; this figure represents a 26% increase from 2013 and is rising rapidly. According to a comparison of carbon emissions in the transport industry conducted by the European Environment Agency in 2004, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted when one passenger travels 1 km is 14g for trains, 104g for automobiles, and 285g for aircraft, recording approximately 20 times more carbon emissions than trains. The UN predicts that the number of air transport users will increase by about twofold by 2037, and even assuming that aircraft operating fuel efficiency increases by 1–2% by 2050, carbon dioxide emissions are projected to increase by 2.4 to 3.6 times due to the annual growth of air transport volume, which is increasing by about 5%. In particular, contrails—tail-shaped clouds that follow an airplane in flight—appear as long lines along the flight path and are characterized by remaining for several hours on cold and humid days. Contrails are formed when gases trapped in the narrow spaces of an airplane's jet engines are expelled into the atmosphere; as the pressure drops and the volume expands, the exhaust gases, having consumed energy, cool down. These gases combine with cold water vapor in the atmosphere, causing the water vapor to freeze immediately and form clouds. These clouds are a type of cirrus; although they are not thick enough to reflect much of the sunlight entering the Earth, the ice crystals that make up the clouds obstruct the release of radiant heat, trapping heat generated from the surface and raising the Earth's surface temperature. The warming effect of these contrails can have a devastating impact on global warming, to the extent that it is said to be more severe than the combined total of carbon dioxide emitted by airplanes throughout aviation history. Furthermore, the global greenhouse effect caused by contrails is projected to increase more than threefold, from 50 mW in 2006 to 160 mW in 2050. Meanwhile, the aviation industry is making various efforts to reduce carbon dioxide, which accounts for 99% of emissions during aircraft operation. These efforts include improving fuel efficiency by reducing vortices, which are air resistance generated during flight; reducing the weight of aircraft by utilizing 3D printing technology to decrease the weight of aircraft parts; and reducing carbon emissions by mixing biofuel, SAF (Sustainable Fuel), with conventional aviation fuel, which is a fossil fuel. As globalization accelerates rapidly, the aviation market is gradually expanding. As of 2019, the number of air passengers reached an all-time high, and after rapidly slowing down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has recovered quickly and is on an increasing trend following the end of the pandemic. Generally, aircraft are classified into passenger planes and cargo planes based on commercial aircraft. The primary payload of a cargo aircraft is limited to cargo, and cargo bookings are generally completed 2 to 3 weeks prior to a scheduled departure. When booking cargo, detailed information such as the type, specifications, and weight of the cargo can be collected and incorporated into the flight plan, which is the preparatory stage before the aircraft's operation. This allows for the effective establishment of procedures such as refueling plans and load balancing, thereby optimizing the flight plan. This process contributes to the efficie
