Conquer CORSIA Compliance in Aviation

The Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) is a global framework established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). It aims to cap net aviation CO₂ emissions at 2020 levels, offsetting any growth in emissions through the purchase of carbon credits or deployment of cleaner technologies. 

Key Objectives: 

• Stabilize aviation’s net emissions growth. 

• Encourage sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), lower carbon aviation fuels (LCAF),and technological innovations. 

• Maintain international market-based measures for carbon offsetting. 

CORSIA applies to international flights between participating ICAO member states. Airlines, charter operators, and other stakeholders are responsible for tracking and reporting their CO₂ emissions. 

Why It Matters: 

• Permit Security: Non-compliance can lead to flight restrictions, grounding of certain routes, or increased offset obligations. 

• Brand & Stakeholder Expectations: Passengers, investors, and governments increasingly demand low-carbon air travel and transparent sustainability practices. 

• Monitoring, Reporting & Verification (MRV)
  Airlines must monitor annual CO₂ emissions from international routes, providing data that meets rigorous verification standards. 

• Offset Obligations
  Emissions growth above a baseline (set around 2020 levels) must be offset through approved carbon credits or other recognized mitigation measures. 

• Phased Implementation
  Early pilot and voluntary phases lead into mandatory participation for most ICAO member states, ensuring a gradual global rollout of compliance obligations. 

Sphera’s LCA for Experts provides a scientifically grounded, comprehensive approach to aviation-related GHG emissions tracking, analysis, and reporting. Designed to address international standards, it’s the ideal companion for organizations striving to comply with CORSIA’s offsetting and reduction mandates. 

Key Features: 

• Precise Emissions Modeling: Evaluate CO₂ from flight routes, aircraft types, or specific operational changes, ensuring credible data for MRV. 

• Scenario Analysis: Test the impact of introducing sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and lower carbon aviation fuels (LCAF), optimizing flight paths, or upgrading fleets—see real-time how each scenario affects net emissions. 

• Audit-Ready Documentation: Produce comprehensive reports aligned with ICAO standards, streamlining offset verification and stakeholder communications. 

• Integration with Sphera Tools: For broader insight, connect to Sphera’s database and analytics platforms, assessing full supply chain impacts and potential improvements.
