Total final CO 2 offsetting requirements for a given period with reductions from the use of CORSIA eligible fuels
Article 4
(1) Member States shall calculate the total final CO 2 offsetting requirements separately for the 2021-2023 and 2024-2026 periods. (2) Member States shall calculate the total final CO 2 offsetting requirements for the aircraft operator, after taking into account reductions from the use of CORSIA eligible fuels, as follows: FOR c = ( OR 1, c + OR 2, c + OR 3, c ) – ( ER 1, c + ER 2, c + ER 3, c ) where: FOR c = aircraft operator’s total final CO 2 offsetting requirements in the given period c ; OR y,c = aircraft operator’s offsetting requirements in the given year y (where y = 1, 2 or 3) of the period c ; and ER y,c = reductions due to the use of CORSIA eligible fuels in the given year y (where y = 1, 2 or 3) of the period c . (3) When calculating the reductions from the use of CORSIA eligible fuels, Member States shall use the following formula: where: ER y = reductions from the use of CORSIA eligible fuels in the given year y (in tonnes); EF = emission factor as specified in Table 1, Annex III to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 ( 5 ) ; MS f,y = total mass of a neat CORSIA eligible fuel claimed in the given year y (in tonnes), as reported in accordance with the provisions of the delegated act adopted pursuant to Article 28c of Directive 2003/87/EC; L CEF = life cycle emissions value for a CORSIA eligible fuel (in gCO 2 e/MJ) as reported in accordance with the provisions of the implementing act adopted pursuant to Article 28c of Directive 2003/87/EC; and LC = baseline life cycle emissions values for aviation fuel, equal to 89 gCO 2 e/MJ for Jet-A fuel, Jet-A1 fuel or Jet-B fuel and equal to 95 gCO 2 e/MJ for AvGas. (4) Where the sum of the aircraft operator’s offsetting requirements in the 3 years of a given period (OR 1,C + OR 2,C + OR 3,C ) is less than 3 000 tonnes of CO 2 , Member States may, on a request from the aircraft operator, calculate no offsetting requirements for that period for that aircraft operator. (5) Where the aircraft operator’s total final CO 2 offsetting requirement during a period (FOR c ) is negative, the aircraft operator shall have no offsetting requirements for that period. Those negative offsetting requirements shall not be carried forward to the subsequent period. (6) The aircraft operator’s total final CO 2 offsetting requirements during a period (FOR c ) shall be rounded up to the nearest tonne of CO 2 . (7) Member States shall inform the aircraft operator of its total final CO 2 offsetting requirements by 30 November 2024 for the CORSIA period 2021-2023, and by 30 November 2027 for the CORSIA period 2024-2026.
