CDR Policy Scoop - CORSIA vs ETS

🛩️ CORSIA vs ETS - what will actually clean up aviation? 🛩️ 🌫️ Aviation is responsible for almost 1Gt of CO2 emissions, or 2.5% of global emissions. Up to 4% when accounting for non-CO2 climate warming effects. And demand is only going up: 3-4% year on year. 💚 Aviation is also notoriously hard to decarbonise: most hope is placed into sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). Given there will always be considerable residual emissions (ICAO: 200Mt-950Mt in 2050), carbon removal is central to aviation’s net-zero aspiration for 2050. 🤯 From a policy perspective, it is incredibly challenging to regulate, as 61% of aviation emissions are emitted on international flights and only 39% within a single country’s boundaries. 🌍 A promising solution is emission trading systems for domestic/regional emissions (think EU ETS) and CORSIA for international emissions. 🔎 Sounds easy? The reality is incredibly complex, messy, and potentially worrying. 📆 Join us for this CDR Policy Scoop on Thursday 13th of March at 6pm CET to hear Eve Tamme and Sebastian Manhart unpack this thorny issue - as always, in 30 minutes or less. ⁉️ What would you like to learn in this session?
