Public Consultations. Delegated Act about reporting of CORSIA-eligible fuels
✈️ The European Commission conducts the Public Consultation regarding the draft of the Delegated Act about reporting of CORSIA-eligible fuels and CORSIA emissions unit cancellation reports.
📅 Feedback Period – 01 April 2025 – 29 April 2025
✅ What is the CORSIA?
The Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA):
- has been in operation since 2019 for monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emissions.
- is intended to be a globally applied market-based measure, which aims to offset international aviation carbon dioxide emissions from January 2021.
✅ Key Points:
📌 This Delegated Act aims to update the current rules to facilitate:
- reporting of fuels eligible under the CORSIA; and
- submission and verification of CORSIA emissions unit cancellation reports.
📌 ‘CORSIA eligible fuel’ means an aviation fuel certified as CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation) eligible fuel by sustainability certification schemes listed in Annex I;
📌 Annex I: CORSIA approved sustainability certification schemes:
- International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC)
- Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB)
- ClassNK SCS
📌 It should be possible to certify a batch of alternative aviation fuel under several schemes if it fulfils the criteria for each of those schemes. In order to prevent double claiming, aircraft operators should submit a declaration listing all GHG schemes they participate in, confirming that no amount of the alternative aviation fuel is reported more than once.
📌 This Delegated Act should apply to the emissions and use of CORSIA eligible fuels that have occurred since 1 January 2024.
