Carbon Offset
As a strategic step towards greener skies
About the Hydropower Project we support
Vietnam, particularly in the north, has faced a significant electricity shortfall due to a sharp rise in demand and insufficient supply. This shortage hinders economic growth and affects the daily lives of residents. To counter this, Vietnam has invested heavily in hydropower, a key renewable energy source that harnesses the country's abundant water resources.
The Tra Linh III Hydropower project, situated on the Tranh River in Quang Nam province, northeast Vietnam, is at the forefront of these efforts. By generating renewable electricity and supplying it directly to Vietnam's National Power Grid through a partnership with the Electricity Corporation of Vietnam (EVN), the project plays a crucial role in stabilizing the national grid and reducing the risk of collapse due to overload.
Furthermore, this initiative contributes substantially to sustainable development by providing a renewable power source that displaces electricity traditionally generated from fossil fuels. Over its first seven-year crediting period, the Tra Linh III project is projected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 105,581 tCO2e, supporting both regional and national goals for sustainable growth and improved living standards.
Shared responsibility
We know there is no miracle cure that makes aviation a sustainable form of transport, but Wingman AirCharter wishes to contribute to reducing the global CO2 emissions!
When you book your flight through Wingman AirCharter, we make sure that the fuel your aircraft uses and the amount of CO2 it emits to fly you will be C02 offset through our collaboration with the Hydropower Project.
"Working with SCB Group is like having extra team members working directly for us. They are dedicated, professional and deliver on time with a practical approach that is first-rate"
Thomas Dessau, CEO & Founder
Shared responsibility
Wingman AirCharter is dedicated to addressing aviation’s primary environmental challenge: carbon emissions.
Although we cannot expedite the adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) or the emergence of battery-powered aircraft, we ensure that carbon emissions from flights booked through us are sustainably offset. In partnership with SCB Group, a leader in environmental management and sustainability consulting, we support impactful projects, including renewable energy initiatives like the Selected Hydropower Project.
All flights booked with Wingman AirCharter are automatically carbon compensated, reflecting our commitment to mitigating climate impact.
Affordable and clean energy
Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all and investing in and increasing energy efficiency and the proportion renewable energy contributes to the global energy supply.
Decent work and economic groth
Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth (endeavouring to decouple growth and environmental degradation), full and productive employment and decent work for all.
Climate action
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts, increasing every countries resilience and ability to adapt to climate change, improving education and awareness and implementing national measures against climate change and the commitments made to the UN FCCC in assisting developing countries mitigate and adapt.
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
At the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Summit in 2015, world leaders adopted the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These global goals aim to address inequalities and challenges all across the planet whilst aiding development and protecting the environment. Meeting the target date of 2030 will require the work and co-operation of all these governments and the UN along with businesses and members of the public.
This project will support the following UN goals:
