IATA unveils first industry CO2 calculation tool
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has launched the first industry-developed passenger CO2 calculation tool.
The IATA Recommended Practice Per-Passenger CO2 Calculation Methodology uses verified airline operational data, and says it is the most accurate calculation methodology to quantify CO2 emissions per passenger for a specific flight.
“Airlines have worked together through IATA to develop an accurate and transparent methodology using verified airline operational data. This provides the most accurate calculation for organisations and individuals to make informed choices about flying sustainably,” said Willie Walsh, IATA’s Director General.
IATA’s Methodology takes into account guidance on fuel measurement, aligned with CORSAIR, guidance on non-CO2 related emissions and guidance on passenger weight, using actual and standard weight.
It also uses guidance on SAF and carbon offsets as part of the CO2 calculation.
“The plethora of carbon calculation methodologies with varying results creates confusion and dents consumer confidence. Aviation is committed to achieving net zero by 2050. By creating an accepted industry standard, we are putting in place essential support to achieve this goal,” added Walsh.
