Air France today announced a pledge to spend $3 billion annually (until 2020) to cut carbon emissions and noise levels for its aircraft. The company is also hoping to cut fuel consumption by 15 to 20 percent within five years. You can see a bunch of other numbers over at Business Green.

The company has also added a ‘CO2 Calculator‘ on its website to help customers analyze their own CO2 use. According to the site:

This calculator provides accurate figures based on verifiable data and the results are based on the actual operating data recorded on each flight:

* The type of aircraft operating the route (or frequency);
* The actual fuel consumed on the route concerned;
* The number of passengers carried;
* The weight of baggage and goods carried on board.

Green biz has a link to the actual calculator in their own report of the announcement.
