CICS White Paper for Looming Aviation Emissions Deadline

Printer-friendly versionPDF version

To help get to grips with upcoming EU legislation, CICS has produced a white paper entitled “Emissions Verification in the Aviation Sector”.

The message from aviation CO2 emissions specialist CICS is that many airlines still have much work to do to meet important forthcoming EU deadlines.

The European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) will commence a cap-and-trade system for aviation CO2 emissions in 2010, with full trading beginning in 2012.

This means that by January 2010, all airlines flying in and out of the EU need to begin monitoring their CO2 emissions, and be ready to have this data verified and reported by March 31st 2011.

To help get to grips with the legislation, CICS has produced a white paper entitled “Emissions Verification in the Aviation Sector”.

CICS director Shaun Bainbridge commented:
“Understanding the best way to undertake monitoring, verification and reporting of CO2 can be a complex task. However, with the January 1st deadline looming, those in the aviation sector must be careful to ensure that this is done satisfactorily if they want to take full advantage once carbon trading comes into play.

“Our new white paper takes a comprehensive look at the issues involved, and I think it will provide a great resource for those who need to get to grips with the topic.”
