eMission for EU-ETS
Things are never as bad as they seem to be.
10 individual airlines throughout Europe have already chosen eMission as their prefered tool to address the topic of EU-ETS.
With the flexible software solution eMission Airpas Aviation provides en efficient, easy-to-use tool to the aviation industry to comply with existing EU-ETS and expected upcoming global Greenhouse Gas regulations.
As an UN Specialized Agency, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is looking for a global sectoral approach for the aviation industry, targeting inter alia for:
- International aviation should be included in the post-Kyoto framework
- Aviation emissions should be accounted for at a global level
- Any scheme should cover CO2 emissions from aircraft, consistent with the Kyoto protocol
- The sector should be held accountable and pay only once for its emissions
It is anticipated that ICAO will finalize its working paper during the scheduled high-level meeting on international aviation and climate change in October. The working paper which is presented by Airports Council International (ACI), Civil Air Navigation Services Organizations (CANSO), International Air Transport Association (IATA) and International Coordinating Council of Aerospace Industries Associations (ICCAIA) forms the basis for the upcoming United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. Consequently, it seems almost impossible that aviation’s commitment to CO2 mitigation won’t become a global subject.
eMission fully complies with the EU-ETS rules and regulations. It comprises a wide range of functionalities and calculations, from flight-related factors like aircraft type, aerodrome pair and cargo weight to managing and reporting current and future fuel burn/CO2 emission data. Mandatory figures and flexible reporting methods, such as XML or Excel, can thus be easily provided and forwarded to the national competent authorities (Member State) allocated to each airline.
However, with the upcoming COP15 and the agenda points of ICAO there is plenty of thermal lift and movement regarding the topic of GHG reduction in the aviation sector. Consequently, eMission might become an indispensable support tool for the worldwide aviation industry to keep its promise on cutting CO2 globally.
