Goal Is To Monitor, Analyze, And Report Flight Data For Cap And
Trade Compliance
Jeppesen and ETS Aviation, Ltd. have teamed to provide the
aviation industry with a solution to monitor, record, analyze and
report flight data within European airspace, in order to comply
with regulatory requirements for managing carbon emissions set by
the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS)
guidelines.
The new Jeppesen and ETS Aviation partnership allows operators
to integrate a web-based application, the ETS Aviation Footprinter,
with Jeppesen's International Trip Planning services to manage
essential monitoring, recording and reporting of carbon emissions
in flight. "The Jeppesen and ETS Aviation partnership provides
operators with a one-stop solution to comply with EU ETS
requirements through a perfect combination of an established EU ETS
monitoring and reporting service provider and an internationally
trusted source for trip and flight planning," said Tim Huegel,
director, Jeppesen Portfolio Management, Aviation. "The Jeppesen
and ETS Aviation solution works to save operators time and effort
in creating carbon emission reports and also provides a service to
increase efficiency and reduce costs through the analysis of actual
flight data."
Operators are now able to enter and store monitoring plans, company
and fleet information and flight data using the Jeppesen and ETS
Aviation-developed solution. Flight data stored in the system is
used to compile an annual emissions report to comply with European
regulations. The data also is analyzed to identify input errors and
inefficient operations in order to increase the accuracy of
emissions reporting and to promote potential fuel savings.
The new Jeppesen and ETS Aviation solution also can be used to
collect data for all flights conducted by an operator, not just
those in European airspace, but reporting is designated for EU ETS
flight activity. Additionally, recorded passenger numbers and the
payload per flight is recorded for an operator, providing a
database that creates a Tonne Kilometer Report (TKM) that is
required for the allocation of free carbon allowances by the
European Union.
For annual emissions report verification purposes, ETS Aviation
has established relationships with a number of approved European
verifying agencies. These independent companies are able to access
and verify an operator's annual emissions report directly within
the Aviation Footprinter application. This third-party verification
of an operator's annual emissions report allows the operator to
then submit the report to their assigned EU member state for final
processing and approval.
Jeppesen and ETS Aviation will be integrating the ETS Aviation
Footprinter application with Jeppesen's JetPlan and Trip Planning
System programs to share data between the systems and streamline
the flight data recording and monitoring process for
operators.
