Aviation Regulatory

The European Commission has introduced Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/3170, establishing a voluntary environmental labelling scheme for flights, known as the Flight Emissions Label. This initiative aims to provide transparent and harmonized data on flight emissions, empowering passengers to make informed choices while encouraging airlines to adopt sustainable practices. Transparent and […]

The European Union has taken another significant step toward achieving its ambitious climate goals by releasing the updated list of Union airports under the purview of ReFuelEU Aviation for 2024. This initiative aligns with the EU’s broader Green Deal and climate neutrality objectives, particularly focusing on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG)

In a significant milestone for sustainable aviation, the European Commission has released the official list of Union airports that fall under the purview of ReFuelEU Aviation for the 2025 reporting period. This development reaffirms the EU’s commitment to a greener aviation sector, promoting the use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF)

Aviation, one of the fastest-growing sectors globally, faces increasing scrutiny over its environmental impact. In response, the UK has introduced the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Mandate, a pioneering policy aimed at significantly reducing aviation’s carbon footprint. With its focus on transitioning to low-carbon alternatives, the UK SAF Mandate sets a

The UK’s Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) is a key driver in reducing greenhouse gas emissions across the transportation sector. Since its inception in 2008, the RTFO has evolved into a cornerstone policy, encouraging the widespread adoption of sustainable fuels and fostering innovation. Let us explore how this impactful initiative

The Draft Air Navigation (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation) (Amendment) Order 2025 marks a pivotal step in aligning the United Kingdom’s aviation sector with international carbon reduction commitments. By proposing comprehensive updates to CORSIA implementation and its integration with the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), this legislation

As the aviation industry continues to address its environmental impact, the UK has taken significant strides by consulting on the implementation of the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). This move aligns with global efforts to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from international aviation, reflecting the UK’s commitment

The UK is making strides toward decarbonizing the aviation sector with the ongoing consultation on the implementation of the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). This consultation addresses two critical aspects: drafting secondary legislation for CORSIA’s offsetting requirements and its interaction with the UK Emissions Trading Scheme

As the aviation sector enters 2024, it embarks on a transformative journey with the transition from the pilot phase of the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) to its first formal phase. This marks a crucial milestone in the global effort to mitigate the environmental impact of

The European Commission has released a consolidated version of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2067, incorporating updates to ensure more robust verification of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and enhanced accreditation of verifiers under Directive 2003/87/EC. These revisions aim to standardize and streamline the monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) process across sectors

On July 1, 2024, the European Commission published the consolidated version of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066, establishing updated rules for monitoring and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This regulation aligns with Directive 2003/87/EC and covers emissions across stationary installations, aviation activities, and fuel-related activities within the EU Emissions Trading

The European Commission has introduced Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2493, which amends Regulation (EU) 2018/2066. Effective from 1 January 2025, this update strengthens greenhouse gas (GHG) monitoring and reporting to align with the EU’s climate goals, including reducing net emissions by 55% by 2030, as outlined in Directive 2003/87/EC. Key Updates

The European Commission has amended Regulation (EC) No 748/2009 through Commission Regulation (EU) 2024/1030, updating the list of aircraft operators performing aviation activities covered by Annex I of Directive 2003/87/EC. This regulation, published on 27 March 2024, ensures effective alignment with the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). Purpose

The European Commission is advancing its climate agenda by introducing a system to monitor, report, and verify (MRV) non-CO2 effects of aviation. This initiative, supported by the Non-CO2 Aviation Effects Tracking System (NEATS), aims to quantify and mitigate the climate impacts of aviation beyond CO2 emissions. Why Monitor Non-CO2 Effects?

The European Commission’s EU ETS Compliance Forum Training, held on October 11 and 17, 2024, introduced significant updates to the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) for the forthcoming year. These training events aimed to inform competent authorities, accreditation bodies, and verifiers about new Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) rules
