So what’s the carbon cost of flying company execs on private jets? Helium report, with the help of Terrapass, calculated the cost to offset carbon dioxide emissions when flying in a private jet.

The article reviews 10 popular jets in four categories and found the cost to fly carbon neutral ranges from $7 to $60 an hour A?AA¢AA¢aAA¬AA¢a?A¬? a minuscule amount when flying private costs $2,000 to $13,000 an hour. For less than $10,000, companies looking to spiff up their green credentials can offset 200 hours in a Falcon 2000, a 10-seat jet that costs more than $25 million.
