The Air Navigation (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation) Order 2021

Article 70(3)

SCHEDULE 3 CO₂ emissions estimation and reporting methods and tools

Introduction to the ICAO CORSIA CO₂ Estimation and Reporting Tool (CERT)

1.  The procedures specified in this Schedule are concerned with the estimation of CO₂ emissions by an aeroplane operator for the purposes of monitoring CO₂ emissions and filling data gaps. The methods and tools proposed are representative of most accurate established practices.

Use of the CERT for complying with monitoring and reporting requirements

2.—(1) The aeroplane operator must use the CERT according to the eligibility criteria as described in article 22 of this Order and upon approval by the Regulator.

(2) The aeroplane operator must use either—

(a) the Block Time input method, or

(b) the Great Circle Distance input method,

to enter the necessary information into the CERT.

(3) The aeroplane operator approved to use the Block Time input method—

(a) must collect the following data and must enter it into the CERT to estimate its CO₂ emissions during the compliance year—

(i) ICAO aircraft type - model designator(1),

(ii) origin aerodrome ICAO Designator(2),

(iii) destination aerodrome ICAO Designator(3),

(iv) Block Time (in hours), and

(v) number of flights,

(b) may collect the following data and, if collected, must enter it into the CERT to estimate its CO₂ emissions during the compliance year—

(i) date, and

(ii) flight ID.

(4) The aeroplane operator approved to use the Great Circle Distance input method—

(a) must collect the following data and must enter it into the CERT to estimate its CO₂ emissions during the compliance year—

(i) ICAO aircraft type - model designator,

(ii) origin aerodrome,

(iii) destination aerodrome, and

(iv) number of flights,

(b) may collect the following data and, if collected, must enter it into the CERT to estimate its CO₂ emissions during the compliance year—

(i) date, and

(ii) flight ID.

The ICAO aircraft type - model designators are contained in Doc 8643 — Aircraft Type Designators which is available from the ICAO website at www.icao.int. For a hard copy contact the ICAO E-Commerce and Publications Sales Unit at International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), 999 Robert-Bourassa Boulevard, Montreal, Quebec H3C 5H7, Canada (telephone [phone] and e-mail [e-mail]).

(2)

The origin aerodrome designators are contained in Doc 7910 – Location Indicators which is available from the ICAO website at www.icao.int. For a hard copy contact the ICAO E-Commerce and Publications Sales Unit at International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), 999 Robert-Bourassa Boulevard, Montreal, Quebec H3C 5H7, Canada (telephone [phone] and e-mail [e-mail]). The CERT will automatically compute Great Circle Distance based on the origin aerodrome and destination aerodrome.

(3)

The destination aerodrome designators are contained in Doc 7910 – Location Indicators. The CERT will automatically compute Great Circle Distance based on the origin aerodrome and destination aerodrome.
