Key Features

🟢 Conversational Carbon Intelligence

• Natural language chatbot (“EcoVoyant”) enables users to ask intuitive questions such as:
  • “What is the CO2 impact if I shift 70% of business class travel to economy?”
  • “Which of my clients’ past itineraries emitted the most carbon?”
  • “Can you show trend lines for yearly travel emissions?”

📊 Carbon Footprint Analytics & Forecasting

• Real-time carbon footprint indicators per flight, hotel, and transport segment.
• Detailed reports comparing carriers, hotels, or destinations based on emission data.
• Forecast future carbon emissions based on current travel patterns and sustainability investments.

✈️ Green Flight Recommendations

• Analyzes aircraft efficiency, route structure (direct vs layover), and segment emissions.
• Recommends alternative airlines, aircrafts, and cabins with lower carbon intensity.
• Prioritizes carriers using Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) or newer, fuel-efficient aircraft.
