A multi-stakeholder initiative that provides two different certification schemes that cover biofuels: ISCC EU and ISCC PLUS.
Prepared to inform ICAO Member States on how sustainable aviation fuels can be deployed to reduce CO2 emissions from international aviation activities.
The ICAO Fuels Task Group will have the obligation of developing a methodology to assess the life cycle emissions of biofuels.
ICAO member states adopted a goal of global annual average fuel efficiency improvements of 2% annually until 2020 and an aspirational global fuel efficiency improvement rate of 2% annually from 2021 to 2050.
The International Air Transport Association set a voluntary goal in 2007 of improving efficiency by at least 25% by 2020 compared to 2005 levels, amounting to a 1.5% efficiency gain per year.
Under the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation, ICAO aims to ensure any rise in international aviation emissions above 2020 levels are accounted for by the purchase of offsets elsewhere.
In March 2017, ICAO adopted a carbon standard for aircraft.
CE Delft’s 2018 study reviewed legal disputes over five different ticket taxes.
This exemption is now contained in international law through bilateral treaties between countries called air service agreements.
Both the proposed American Clean Energy and Security Act and the Boxer-Kerry Senate Bill (2009) would have included requirements that petroleum-based liquid fuel producers, including aviation fuel, buy carbon permits.
