Flywire Makes Carbon Removal Payments Easy with New Tomorrow’s Air Partnership

Travel businesses looking to incorporate carbon removal with permanent storage into their climate strategies will find a boost in Flywire’s new partnership with Tomorrow’s Air. Flywire, a global payments enablement and software company, is offering its travel clients an easy way to make contributions towards climate conscious travel education and carbon dioxide removal and permanent storage by partnering with Tomorrow’s Air.

Carbon removals have an important advantage in helping us regain a stable climate in that they scrub emissions from the atmosphere, and experts agree that “creating demand for carbon removal today will send the necessary market signal to increase supply.” Furthermore, virtually all climate models that limit warming to 1.5°C or 2°C require ‘novel’ carbon dioxide removal such as the types curated for the Tomorrow’s Air portfolio – including direct air capture, biochar, and enhanced rock weathering. Yet, according to the State of Carbon Dioxide Removal, “ only a tiny fraction (0.002 GtCO2 per year) of current carbon dioxide removal results from these novel CDR methods.”

Participating businesses will receive: 

• Tomorrow’s Air member badge (provided by Tomorrow’s Air)
• Set of co-branded social graphics for social media sharing 
• Opportunity to promote their brand on Tomorrow’s Air social and Adventure.Travel social through #traveltuesday features 
• Opportunity to have a trip featured in Airrow Bulletin

Participating businesses also receive a custom impact report at the end of each fiscal year to understand the positive effect of their efforts on the environment that demonstrates measurable impact aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

“Corporate leaders such as Microsoft, Swiss Re, Shopify, BCG and many others are marshaling funding to help support the climate stabilizing technologies that will be needed alongside emissions reductions and nature conservation. Tomorrow’s Air was created to help bring the power of global travel to the cause by offering a way for small and medium-sized businesses to gain access to the same caliber of innovators receiving funding from large investors, along with a commitment to education and communication to help mobilize much-needed understanding and support,” said Tomorrow’s Air co-creator and lead Christina Beckmann.

Payments to Tomorrow’s Air not only help clean the air, they help inspire others to follow our lead, sending a powerful signal to global brands, policymakers, and investors that the global travel community wants innovative solutions that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and permanently store it. 

The new partnership amplifies one of the key benefits of joining Tomorrow’s Air, which is time investment: travel businesses who want to bring climate technologies into their sustainability strategies save valuable time in evaluating, establishing, and maintaining an individual climate tech portfolio through Tomorrow’s Air. Now, with Flywire, travel businesses using Flywire’s invoicing solution will be able to easily embed carbon removal payments directly within their travelers’ purchasing experience. 

Flywire Vice President of Corporate Marketing Sarah King said, “Sustainability is top of mind for our global travel clients and their guests, who are recognizing more and more the part they play in preserving a destination’s natural resources. We are thrilled to partner with Tomorrow’s Air to provide our ecosystem of businesses and travelers the opportunity to make a positive impact in their communities, and on the planet. Our partnership also reinforces Flywire’s commitment to taking direct actions to reduce our impact on the climate, and aligns with our progress towards protecting and preserving our environment.”
