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
