The Annual Emissions Report (AER) is an essential document for aircraft operators navigating compliance requirements under the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), the Swiss ETS, and the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). Template No. 5 has been designed to standardize emissions reporting, ensuring transparency, accuracy, and accountability in aviation sustainability.
This template provides a structured framework to capture key information such as identification details, emissions data, aircraft performance metrics, and compliance specifics. It enables operators to streamline their reporting across multiple regulatory frameworks, reducing administrative burdens while ensuring alignment with international climate goals.
One notable feature of Template No. 5 is its adaptability across jurisdictions. For instance, while the EU ETS focuses on intra-European flights, Swiss ETS caters to flights within Switzerland and between Switzerland and the European Economic Area. On the other hand, CORSIA emphasizes the global effort to cap aviation emissions at 2020 levels, addressing international flights comprehensively.
For sustainability professionals, this standardized reporting tool not only simplifies compliance but also highlights areas for improvement in operational efficiency and emissions reduction. By utilizing Template No. 5 effectively, airlines can demonstrate their commitment to sustainable aviation and play an active role in achieving net-zero emissions.
