The aviation sector is one of the hardest to decarbonise. Aircraft depend on high-energy-density fuels, and alternatives like hydrogen and electric propulsion remain years away from large-scale commercial viability. Recognising this challenge, the European Union has introduced the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation (EU 2023/2405), a cornerstone of its strategy to achieve […]

As the world accelerates efforts to decarbonise aviation, two major frameworks are shaping the path forward: the European Union’s ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation (EU 2023/2405) and the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). While both aim to reduce aviation’s climate impact, they take

The European Union’s ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation (EU 2023/2405) marks a turning point in how airlines source and use fuel. By mandating the gradual integration of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) from 2025 onwards, the regulation aims to put aviation on a firm path toward climate neutrality by 2050. For airlines, the

The European Union has set an ambitious course for aviation decarbonisation through the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/2405). Central to this regulation are the binding Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) targets that airlines and fuel suppliers must meet from 2025 through 2050. These targets are not just numbers; they represent

The aviation sector is entering a decisive decade for climate action. To reduce its dependency on fossil fuels, the European Union has introduced the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/2405), which comes into force in 2025. This new framework sets binding requirements on airlines, airports, and fuel suppliers to accelerate

As aviation regulators move beyond carbon dioxide, the introduction of non-CO₂ MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification) adds new complexity to emissions compliance. Aircraft operators must now account for additional climate effects like NOx, water vapour, contrails, and particulate matter—each requiring accurate data, specialized tools, and a robust verification process. Here

As non-CO₂ emissions enter the regulatory spotlight, aircraft operators are now required to monitor and report their broader climate impacts. However, not all airlines face the same level of compliance complexity. If your airline qualifies as a Small Emitter, you may be eligible for a streamlined reporting path. This article

With the integration of non-CO₂ effects into aviation climate reporting, airlines are required to choose a standardized methodology for calculating emissions. The two approved approaches—Method C and Method D—differ in complexity, data needs, and eligibility. Selecting the right method is crucial for regulatory compliance, cost efficiency, and data credibility. This

The regulatory landscape for aviation emissions is evolving. Airlines are no longer required to monitor just CO₂ emissions—non-CO₂ climate effects such as contrails, NOx, and water vapour are now a formal part of emissions accountability. A new MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification) system mandates that aircraft operators track and report

As the aviation industry intensifies its climate accountability efforts, it’s becoming clear that carbon dioxide (CO₂) tells only part of the story. The non-CO₂ effects of aviation can contribute just as much—or more—to global warming. In response, regulators have established a structured framework for Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) of

The Global Call for Action In Montreal, the International Air Transport Association (IATA), along with leading carbon market stakeholders, has made an urgent appeal to governments worldwide. Their request focuses on one crucial step, speeding up the release of carbon credits that airlines need to meet their climate commitments under

A Step Toward Sustainable Aviation India is set to begin a pilot project to supply Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport. This move marks a major milestone in the country’s push for greener aviation and cleaner skies. Domestic Production of SAF Begins Indian Oil Corporation (IOC)

Landmark consensus among 193 states For the first time every ICAO member state endorsed environmental resolutions without reservation, giving the aviation sector a truly universal mandate for decarbonisation. This shared commitment ensures policy continuity across borders, creating a predictable landscape for airlines, airports, and equipment manufacturers planning twenty five year

Mandate Structure South Korea has published a clear timeline that begins with a one percent sustainable aviation fuel blend in twenty twenty seven and rises as high as ten percent by twenty thirty five. Importantly, each target will be finalised two years before activation, allowing producers and airlines to plan
