The PACE Passenger (PAX) Widget is a service designed to be easily embedded within a website to calculate the total CO2 footprint of a flight. Using travel information input by the user, the widget
provides:
The flight data used to calculate CO2 emissions in the Widget is based on a rolling 12-month window to ensure that the emissions reported are reflective of the ever-changing aircraft fleet deployed by the world’s airlines. As an example, if an airline starts to place new generation aircraft on select routes the widget will, in time, reflect reduced emissions per passenger on that route for the airline.
In order to provide co2 footprint values per flight, the plugin makes use of a few external services to operate accordingly. Each one of the services and their responsibilities are described below.
Further information regarding widget usage and metrics calculations can be found at the ‘PACE PAX Widget Methodology’ document described below.
