Commission's 'Fit for 55' proposal on the revision of the EU ETS Directive

 

On 14th July, the European Commission published the much-awaited “Fit for 55” legislative package which includes a series of legislative proposals to make its policies fit for delivering the updated 2030 greenhouse gas emissions net reduction target of 55% below 1990 levels, as set out in the 2030 Climate Target Plan and written into the European Climate Law.

As part of the package, the Commission proposed a revision of the EU ETS Directive to extend the implementation of the EU ETS on intra-European routes beyond 2024, and implement CORSIA for EU-based operators on extra-European routes. This articles seeks to demistify the Commission's proposal and provide an overview of what EU-based and non-EU based operators can expect with regards to EU ETS implementation over the next decade. [...]

A Refresher on the UK ETS incorporating the latest developments

   
 
With an aim to achieve “net-zero carbon emissions by 2050”, the UK launched its own “cap and trade” carbon system aptly called the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS), which entered into force on the 1st of January 2021.

In terms of design and how the system works, the UK ETS closely resembles the EU ETS. It was created specifically by the UK to fill the gap in their carbon reduction ambitions that arose following the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union. This article provides information on the reporting scope, requisites for compliance with UK ETS, the latest developments, and compliance with EU ETS if the UK used to be EU ETS regulator. [...]

Sustainable Aviation Fuels: Latest Updates & Reporting of SAF under CORSIA & EU ETS

   
 
Since the introduction of schemes such as CORSIA and EU ETS, airlines have started to invest in a range of measures to make aviation greener. One such measure is the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs), which offer the potential for large emissions reductions as compared to the conventional jet fuels. The aviation industry and the environmentalists agree that the use of SAFs can be an important factor in reducing the environmental impact of air travel.

This article provides various updates on SAFs since our latest article in January 2021, including airline news related to SAFs, legislative changes affecting the use of SAFs, and the reporting of SAFs for reducing surrendering/offsetting obligations in the EU ETS and CORSIA schemes. [...]

The internal pre-verification and the associated control activities in CORSIA MRV

   
 
In the CORSIA SARPs, ICAO recommends that all aeroplane operators perform a voluntary internal pre-verification for CORSIA before the external third-party verification. As a voluntary action, the pre-verification is often overlooked by operators. This article reiterates the importance of the pre-verification and the associated control activities, which play a vital role in improving the data quality and thereby also potentially accelerating the timeline of the external verification.
