Right now is Thursday, 23 Might 2024.
On Might 14, the board of administrators of the Brazilian Nationwide Civil Aviation Company (ANAC) unanimously authorised a decision that regulates the management and compensation of CO₂ emissions on worldwide flights.
The regulation incorporates the Worldwide Aviation CO₂ Emissions Discount and Compensation Mechanism, CORSIA, into the Brazilian authorized system.
CORSIA, which in English means Carbon Offsetting and Discount Scheme for Worldwide Aviation, is a program of the Worldwide Civil Aviation Group (ICAO) with the target of lowering and compensating CO₂ emissions from worldwide flights.
The decision defines the necessities for monitoring, reporting and verifying CO₂ emissions and for calculating the compensation obligations of air operators, with ANAC being chargeable for receiving carbon emissions knowledge from air operators.
The air operator should monitor its CO2 emissions when it emits, in a calendar yr, an quantity exceeding ten thousand tons in worldwide flight phases, utilizing fixed-wing plane with a most licensed takeoff weight above 5,700 kg.
Concerning the efficient compensation of emissions, they should be completed immediately by the Emission Models accepted by CORSIA. See doc beneath “CORSIA Eligible Emissions Units”, March 2024 version.
