Sino Jet works hard to reduce emissions across ops
As the first business aviation company in China to announce a carbon-neutral pathway, Sino Jet has made green aviation its driving force. It has established a three-step progressive decarbonisation framework.

On 22 April, the 57th World Earth Day, Sino Jet, a business aviation company in the Asia Pacific region, released its 2025 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report. Since China proposed its ‘dual carbon’ goals, Sino Jet has published its annual carbon emissions report for the fifth consecutive year. Through consistent, transparent disclosures as a normal practice, Sino Jet demonstrates its firm commitment to and tangible results in the green and low-carbon transition.

The report shows that, amid steady growth in business scale, Sino Jet's total carbon emissions in 2025 decreased by 6.96 per cent year over year compared with 2024 and by 26.68 per cent cumulatively compared with the baseline year 2021. After implementing technology-driven emission reductions and management optimisation, the company offset the remaining 996.085 tCO2e through the purchase of carbon credits, including CCER offshore wind power, VCS landfill gas capture and power generation, and methane emission reductions from livestock and poultry farming under GS, thereby completing the cancellation process. The company has officially achieved its 2025 strategic goal of ‘carbon neutrality across the company's own aircraft, ground support and office operations’. This lays a solid foundation for achieving carbon neutrality across its overall business by 2035.

In 2025, Sino Jet's total greenhouse gas emissions amounted to 23,176.943 tCO2e. Scope 1 emissions, that is direct fuel combustion, accounted for 95.31 per cent of the total, representing a 5.29 per cent reduction compared with 2024, effectively controlling carbon emissions in core aviation operations. Scope 2 emissions, namely purchased electricity and heat, accounted for 1.72 per cent of the total. Along with business expansion and improvements in service quality, Scope 2 increased by 20.78 per cent compared with 2024, an expected rise under expanding operational scale. Scope 3 emissions, comprising indirect emissions across the value chain, recorded a 45.20 per cent decrease compared with 2024, setting a new industry benchmark for value-chain emissions reduction.

As the first business aviation company in China to announce a carbon-neutral pathway, Sino Jet has consistently made green aviation its core driving force. It has proactively established a three-step progressive decarbonisation framework: in the short term, achieve carbon neutrality for its own fleet and ground operations in 2025, which has been successfully completed; in the mid term, plan through 2035 to promote carbon neutrality for the managed fleet in parallel and reduce the company's per-capita carbon emissions intensity by 20 per cent; and in the long term, aim to reduce the company's per-capita carbon emissions intensity by 40 per cent versus the current level by 2050, continuing to lead the low-carbon transition in business aviation.

Sino Jet treats digital aviation as a core driver for building green aviation. By establishing efficient and precise management processes, the company not only upgrades its operating model, but also leverages a data-driven decision-making mechanism to improve both resource utilisation efficiency and capabilities for controlling environmental impacts. Meanwhile, Sino Jet has built an enterprise carbon management system, which can integrate digital management modules across the full aircraft lifecycle, enabling precise control and intelligent analysis of data across all scenarios, including aircraft operations, energy procurement and employee commuting.

The system can generate personalised emission-reduction plans. While reducing carbon emissions intensity, it also improves the customer flying experience and strengthens the long-term value preservation of aircraft assets.

Given the industry characteristic that aviation fuel is a major source of emissions, Sino Jet also implements refined energy management. To date, the company can provide SAF (sustainable aviation fuel) refuelling services for customers at major hub airports, including Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Zhengzhou and Ningbo.

In addition, by optimising energy-use efficiency, prioritising low-carbon suppliers, promoting energy-saving office practices and paperless operations, and implementing waste sorting and recycling measures, Sino Jet reduces carbon emissions across its operational stages in a comprehensive manner. The company has also initiated an innovative high-altitude carbon-sink forest donation programme, exploring a sustainable development closed loop of emissions reduction in the air and carbon sequestration on the ground.

In terms of building an ecosystem for green mobility, Sino Jet is actively developing a three-dimensional mobility solution of ‘business aviation + eVTOL’. At the 2025 Asian General Aviation Trade Show, Sino Jet formally signed a procurement order for 50 AE200 eVTOL aircraft with Aerofugia. This establishes a solid foundation for subsequent large-scale deliveries and commercial operations, offering customers a high-quality one-stop green mobility solution from origin to destination.

The successful achievement of Sino Jet's 2025 carbon-neutral goal is an important milestone in the company's implementation of the dual-carbon strategy and its fulfilment of social responsibility. Going forward, Sino will continue to deepen its Technology + Green development strategy, further optimise its carbon emissions management and control system, improve digitalised green operational models and gradually promote coordinated emissions reductions across the managed-fleet operations and the supply chain, contributing to the realisation of China's dual-carbon goals and the high-quality development of multi-dimensional transportation and mobility.
