The LCA For Experts Solution
Learn more
Address the demands of the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), an ICAO-led initiative requiring robust emissions monitoring, reporting, and offsetting. Leverage advanced life cycle assessment (LCA) modeling to accurately track and reduce your aviation-related carbon footprint—protecting operational continuity and reputation in a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.
Whether you’re an airline, aircraft operator, aircraft manufacturer, or supplier of renewable, waste-derived or fossil-based aviation fuels, operating in the international aviation space, CORSIA demands credible, auditable data to validate emissions reductions and offset strategies. Proactive alignment helps you stay competitive and build stakeholder confidence in your sustainability commitments.
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:
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:
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:
Global Baseline
CORSIA uses a 2020 CO₂ baseline—any emissions growth above this line requires offsetting.
Market-Based Offsets
Airlines must purchase verified carbon credits or invest in recognized projects (e.g., reforestation, renewable energy) to balance excess emissions.
Technical & Operational Innovations
Adoption of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and lower carbon aviation fuels (LCAF), route optimizations, or cutting-edge aircraft designs can reduce offset liabilities and carbon footprint.
