Calculation of emissions from the use of CORSIA eligible fuels

30.—(1) An aeroplane operator that intends to claim for emissions reductions from the use of CORSIA eligible fuels in a given year must compute the emissions from those CORSIA eligible fuels as follows—

where—

ER_y = Emissions reductions from the use of CORSIA eligible fuels in the given year y in tonnes;
FCF = Fuel conversion factor;
MS_f,y = Total mass of a neat CORSIA eligible fuel claimed in the given year y in tonnes, as described and reported in Field 12.b in Table 1 of Schedule 5;
LS_f = Life cycle emissions value for a CORSIA eligible fuel, in gCO₂e/MJ; and
LC = Baseline life cycle emissions values for aviation fuel, equal to 89 gCO₂e/MJ for jet fuel and equal to 95 gCO₂e/MJ for AvGas.

(2) The fuel conversion factor referred to in paragraph (1) is equal to—

(a)3.16 (in kg CO₂/kg fuel) for Jet-A fuel,

(b)3.10 (in kg CO₂/kg fuel) for AvGas, or

(3) If a Default Life Cycle Emissions value is used, the aeroplane operator must use the ICAO document entitled “CORSIA Default Life Cycle Emissions Values for CORSIA Eligible Fuels”(14) for the calculation in paragraph (1).

(4) If an Actual Life Cycle Emissions value is used, an approved Sustainability Certification Scheme must ensure that the methodology, set out in the ICAO document entitled “CORSIA Methodology for Calculating Actual Life Cycle Emissions Values”(15), has been applied correctly.

(2) The Regulator must decide on the level of aggregation, being State pair or aerodrome pair, for which an aeroplane operator must report the number of international flights in accordance with Field 7 in Table 1 in Schedule 5, and CO₂ emissions in accordance with Field 8 in that Table. The Regulator must inform the aeroplane operator whether Fields 7 and 8 in the Emissions Report must be reported at the level of State pair or aerodrome pair during the approval process for its Emissions Monitoring Plan.

(3) An Emissions Report must contain the information set out in Table 1 of Schedule 5. An aeroplane operator that uses the CERT is not required to report Field 5 in Table 1.

(4) When an aeroplane operator reports its consolidated CO₂ emissions from international flights during the 2019-2020 period, including those of subsidiary aeroplane operators, disaggregated data relating to each subsidiary aeroplane operator must be appended to the main Emissions Report.

(5) In specific circumstances where an aeroplane operator operates a very limited number of flights between State pairs, it may submit a written request to the Regulator that such data not be published at the aeroplane operator level, as set out in Tables 4 and 5 of Schedule 5, explaining the reasons why disclosure would harm its commercial interests.

(6) Based on this request, the Regulator must determine whether this data is confidential.

(7) In specific circumstances where aggregated State pair data may be attributed to an identified aeroplane operator as a result of a very limited number of aeroplane operators conducting flights on a State pair, that aeroplane operator may request in writing to the Regulator that such data not be published at State pair level, explaining the reasons why disclosure would harm their commercial interests.

(8) Based on this request, the Regulator must determine whether this data is confidential.

Reporting of CORSIA eligible fuels

32.—(1) An aeroplane operator must subtract CORSIA eligible fuels traded or sold to a third party from its total reported quantity of CORSIA eligible fuels.

(2) The aeroplane operator must provide to the Regulator a declaration of all other GHG schemes it participates in where the emissions reductions from the use of CORSIA eligible fuels may be claimed, and a declaration that it has not made claims for the same batches of CORSIA eligible fuel under these other schemes.

(3) To claim emissions reductions from the use of CORSIA eligible fuels in the Emissions Report, the aeroplane operator must provide to the Regulator the information described in Table 2 of Schedule 5, within a given compliance period for all CORSIA eligible fuel received by a blender by the end of that compliance period.

(4) The information provided is through to the blend point, and includes information received from both the neat (unblended) fuel producer and the fuel blender.

(5) If the aeroplane operator purchases fuel from a supplier downstream from the fuel blender, such as a distributor, another aeroplane operator, or an aerodrome-based fuel distributor, this fuel supplier must provide to the aeroplane operator all of the requisite documentation in order for the emissions reductions from the use of CORSIA eligible fuels to be claimed by the aeroplane operator in accordance with articles 29 and 30.

Reporting to ICAO

33.—(1) The Regulator must calculate and inform each of the aeroplane operators that are attributed to it of their average total CO₂ emissions during 2019 and 2020, in accordance with the timeline set out in Schedule 1.

(2) A Regulator must provide the Secretary of State with the required information regarding CO₂ emissions specified in paragraph (1) and any reported information deemed confidential.

(3) The Secretary of State must submit a report covering those emissions for aeroplane operators administered in the United Kingdom to ICAO in accordance with the timeline set out in Schedule 1. This report must contain the information set out in Tables 4, 5 and 6 in Schedule 5, when applicable.

(5) All aeroplane operator data which are deemed confidential in accordance with article 31(6) and (8) must be aggregated without attribution to any specific aeroplane operator, and included within the ICAO document entitled, “CORSIA Central Registry (CCR): Information and Data for Transparency”(16).

CHAPTER 4Verification of CO₂ emissions

Verification body and national accreditation body

34.—(1) A verification body must be accredited as complying with the standards specified in ISO 14065:2013 and the requirements in paragraph 2 of Schedule 6 by a national accreditation body, in order to be eligible to verify the Emissions Report of an aeroplane operator.

(2) A national accreditation body must be working in accordance with ISO/IEC 17011:2004.

Annual verification of an aeroplane operator’s Emissions Report

35.—(1) An aeroplane operator must engage a verification body for the verification of its annual Emissions Report.

(2) A verification body must conduct the verification according to ISO 14064-3:2006, and the relevant requirements in paragraph 3 of Schedule 6.

(3) Following the verification of the Emissions Report by the verification body, the aeroplane operator and the verification body must both independently submit, upon authorisation by the aeroplane operator, a copy of the Emissions Report and associated Verification Report to the Regulator, in accordance with the timeline set out in Schedule 1.

(4) The Regulator must perform an order of magnitude check of the Emissions Report in accordance with the timeline set out in Schedule 1 to assess the completeness of the data provided in that report.

(5) To facilitate order of magnitude checks and ensure the completeness of reported data, and where necessary to support the implementation of the requirements in this Order, the Regulator may agree to share with another State’s regulator, specific data and information contained in an aeroplane operator’s Emissions Report where that aeroplane operator performs flights to and from the State of the requesting regulator.

(6) The Regulator must inform any relevant aeroplane operator about such a request for that information.

(7) In the absence of an agreement between the two States, this information must not be disclosed to third parties.

Verification of sustainable aviation fuels

36.—(1) Fuel purchases, transaction reports, fuel blending records and sustainability credentials must constitute the documentary proof for the purpose of verification and approval of emissions reductions from the use of CORSIA eligible fuels.

(2) An aeroplane operator must ensure that it, or its designated representative, has audit rights over the production records for the CORSIA eligible fuels that it purchases(17).

CHAPTER 5Data management and control

Data gaps

37.—(1) An aeroplane operator using a Fuel Use Monitoring Method, as described in Schedule 2, must fill data gaps using the CERT, as described in Schedule 3, provided that the data gaps during a compliance period do not exceed the following thresholds—

(a)2019-2020 period: 5 per cent of international flights;

(b)2021-2035 period: 5 per cent of international flights between State Pairs defined in the ICAO document entitled “CORSIA States for Chapter 3 State Pairs”(18).

(2) The aeroplane operator must correct issues identified with the data and information management system in a timely manner to mitigate ongoing data gaps and system weaknesses.

(3) If the aeroplane operator realises it has data gaps and system weaknesses that exceed the threshold in paragraph (1), it must engage with the Regulator to take remedial action to address this.

(4) When the threshold is exceeded, the aeroplane operator must state the percentage of international flights for the 2019-2020 period, or flights between State Pairs defined in the ICAO document entitled “CORSIA States for Chapter 3 State Pairs” for the 2021-2035 period, that had data gaps, and provide an explanation to the Regulator in its annual Emissions Report.

(5) The aeroplane operator must fill all data gaps and correct systematic errors and misstatements prior to the submission of the Emissions Report.

(6) If an aeroplane operator does not provide its annual Emissions Report in accordance with the timeline set out in Schedule 1, the Regulator must engage with the aeroplane operator to obtain the necessary information. If this proves unsuccessful, the Regulator must estimate the aeroplane operator’s annual emissions using the best available information and tools, such as the CERT as described in Schedule 3.

(7) If the Regulator does not provide its annual aggregated Emissions Report for the purposes of reporting to ICAO in accordance with the timeline set out in Schedule 1, the data provided by ICAO must be used to fill these gaps and calculate the total sectoral CO₂ emissions in a given year and the Sectoral Growth Factor.

Error correction to Emissions Reports

38.—(1) If an error in an aeroplane operator’s reported emissions is identified by the Regulator, the verification body or the aeroplane operator after the reported CO₂ emissions have been submitted to ICAO in accordance with the timeline set out in Schedule 1, the Regulator must update the reported CO₂ emissions to address the error.

(2) The Regulator must assess any implications with respect to the aeroplane operator’s offsetting requirements in previous years and, if necessary, make an adjustment to compensate for the error during the compliance period in which the error has been identified.

(3) A Regulator must report to the Secretary of State any error in an aeroplane operator’s CO₂ emissions and the follow-up result of the related adjustment.

(4) The Secretary of State must report an error in an aeroplane operator’s CO₂ emissions and the follow-up result of the related adjustment to ICAO.

Reporting on improvements to the monitoring methodology

39.—(1) An aeroplane operator must regularly check whether the monitoring methodology applied can be improved.

(2) Where the verification report states outstanding non-conformities, the aeroplane operator must submit to the Regulator for approval a report on improvements by 30th June of the year in which that verification report is issued by the verification body. That report on improvements must describe how and when the aeroplane operator has rectified, or plans to rectify, the non-conformities identified by the verification body and to implement recommended improvements.

(3) The Regulator may set an alternative date for submission of the report on improvements as referred to in paragraph (2), but no later date than 30th September in the same year. Where applicable, such report on improvements may be combined with the report referred to in paragraph (2).

(4) Where recommended improvements would not lead to an improvement of the monitoring methodology, the aeroplane operator must provide a justification for why that is the case. Where the recommended improvements would incur unreasonable costs, the aeroplane operator must provide evidence of the unreasonable nature of the costs.

(5) Paragraphs (2) to (4) do not apply where an aeroplane operator has already resolved all non-conformities and recommendations for improvement and has submitted related modifications of the Emissions Monitoring Plan to the Regulator for approval in accordance with article 26 before the date set in paragraph (2), subject to the alternative date set in paragraph (3).

Rounding of data

40.—(1) Total annual emissions must be reported as tonnes of CO₂ rounded to the nearest whole number.

(2) Unless otherwise provided in this Order, all variables used to calculate the emissions must be rounded to the nearest whole number for the purpose of calculating and reporting emissions.
