Background on MRV Regulation Regulation (EU) 2015/757 establishes a framework for the monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from maritime transport. Initially, it applied to ships above 5,000 gross tonnage (GT). New Scope Considerations As of 2025, the scope extends to general cargo and offshore ships
Strengthening Verification for Emissions Reduction Claims The Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP) has released supplementary guidance aimed at supporting verification bodies in assessing emissions reduction claims from CORSIA Eligible Fuels (CEFs). Endorsed at CAEP/13 in February 2025, the guidance aligns with the second edition of Annex 16 – Volume
How an Upgraded CO2 Calculator Strengthens Aviation’s Sustainable Fuel Effort A Shift Toward Accountability and Precision As aviation embraces decarbonization, the question on many minds—corporate and individual alike—is simple: how much difference does sustainable aviation fuel really make? For years, this answer was vague. But now, a quiet leap forward
CO2 Connect Expansion Aligns SAF Usage with Transparent Emission Reductions Read More
Understanding Contrails Beyond the Vapour Contrails are the streaks of cloud that trail behind high-flying aircraft. While they appear harmless, research now confirms their significant role in trapping heat in the atmosphere. These high-altitude clouds, formed in ice-supersaturated regions, reflect solar radiation but also retain Earth’s heat. This warming impact

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is a key component of decarbonizing the aviation industry. However, many companies struggle with the complexities of acquiring and utilizing it. World Fuel Services has introduced a solution that aims to simplify the process—myWorld Decarbonize Tool. This innovative platform streamlines SAF purchases via book and claim,
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has taken another bold step toward corporate decarbonization with its latest draft of the Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2. This revision seeks to remove longstanding barriers to effective emissions reduction while ensuring that businesses worldwide can set and achieve their sustainability goals with greater clarity
The European Commission has published its final report on the production and supply of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) in Union airports and the feasibility of a SAF tradability system within the EU. This study supports the implementation of the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation (EU) 2023/2405, which mandates a gradual increase in
The European Commission’s latest ReFuelEU Aviation SAF flexibility mechanism report outlines the progress and challenges in integrating sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) across the EU. The flexibility mechanism, applicable from 2025 to 2034, allows aviation fuel suppliers to distribute SAF across Union airports based on a weighted average, ensuring a smooth
A Step Forward in Aviation Decarbonization Aviation is making significant strides toward a sustainable future. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has introduced a key enhancement to its CO2 Connect emissions calculator. This improvement integrates Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) accounting, providing a more transparent view of the carbon reductions achieved
