FeaturesIn Sri Lanka while air conditioners are serious energy guzzlers, the Jetwing Hotel chain wants to make all cooling in its hotels carbon neutral by 2020 - using cinnamon. As a result, only as much CO2 is released as was initially absorbed when the cinnamon wood was grown. With 30 hotels, Jetwing is one of the largest hotel chains in Sri Lanka. Jetwing, one of the largest in Sri Lanka, is now modernizing its system, and plans to be carbon-neutral by 2020. But the green project is already facing its first limitation, as readily available cinnamon wood is becoming scarce.
