Rising airline traffic is expected to trigger global emissions-related requirements as early as next year according to a top airline trade group even as debate broadens on the effectiveness of that approach.
A United Nations-led scheme seeks to cap emissions from international flights at 85% of 2019 levels under the first phase of its Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation beginning next year.
Carriers in the first phase could purchase offsets as early as that year, with international travel expected to rebound to near 2019 levels. With technologies like electric and hydrogen-powered aircraft still unproven, and sustainable aviation fuel in short supply and exorbitantly costly, airlines are buying credits in pollution-lowering projects like planting trees to offset their emissions.CARBON OFFSETS
Offsetting amounts, which depend on traffic, are not yet clear. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said requirements during CORSIA's first phase will only be calculated in 2026, though IATA said airlines can start buying credits earlier.
