Tao Climate, an Irish ClimateTech company, has launched Tao Carbon AI, a platform for the aviation and travel sector. The tool calculates the carbon footprint of a journey using natural language or voice inputs, and lets users purchase verified CO2 removal. Tao Climate also covers the digital footprint of the AI calculation itself at no extra cost when a customer buys flight CO2 removal. The launch comes as the travel industry faces pressure to show environmental transparency. Unlike basic carbon calculators, Tao Carbon AI accepts plain language inputs like "Dublin to New York" and returns an instant footprint assessment. The platform was announced during a pitch at the FTE Digital, Innovation & Startup Hub meeting at NovaUCD in Dublin, part of the APEX FTE EMEA conference.
