A comparison between ICAO’s CO2 offsetting scheme and the EU ETS for aviation

Now that the CORSIA has been agreed, the EU will review the inclusion of aviation in the EU ETS. The European Commission is to provide a report considering options for the coverage of aviation emissions. As specified in the regulation that temporarily reduces the scope of the EU ETS, “the Commission should also give particular consideration to the environmental effectiveness of the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS)”.

This study, accompanied by T&E’s briefing, presents a comparative analysis of CORSIA and various scopes for the inclusion of aviation in the EU ETS.
