Exclusive: DG CLIMA’s Dimitar Nikov on the Future of Non-CO2 Regulation and What Airlines Must Do Now
Three years after the debut of ChatGPT, about half of finance leaders still don’t actively use AI. And it’s not because they don’t recognize the current value or long-term promise of this technology. It’s because many finance professionals are still trying to find use cases that deliver immediate impact and returns in their day-to-day work. […]
Preparing for Non-CO₂ EU ETS MRV Compliance Strategies for Airlines
The aviation industry is navigating a major shift in sustainability regulations. A new mandate from the European Union is expanding the scope of its Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) beyond carbon dioxide to include the significant climate impact of non-CO2 effects. For airlines, this introduces a new layer of complexity and a critical need for […]
Beyond Compliance: How Your Flight Data Shapes Your Non-CO₂ Climate Impact
The landscape of aviation sustainability is undergoing a seismic shift. As of January 1, 2025, the European Union’s Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) mandates that airlines monitor and report their non-CO₂ climate impacts for flights within the European Economic Area. Scientific bodies like EASA and the IPCC have highlighted the urgency, revealing that non-CO₂ effects—primarily […]
Not All Contrails Are Created Equal: The Climate Difference Between a “Warming” and “Cooling” Cloud
If you’ve ever been on a flight, you’ve likely looked out the window and seen the white, wispy lines that planes trace across the sky. These are contrails, or “condensation trails,” and they are essentially human-induced clouds. For decades, they were seen as little more than a visual curiosity. But research now shows they play […]
A Guide to Global Warming Potential (GWP) and Its Role in Non-CO2 reporting
To effectively tackle climate change, we need a common yardstick to compare the warming impact of different greenhouse gases. The Global Warming Potential (GWP) is the most widely used tool for this purpose. A large share of aviation’s warming effect comes from non-CO₂ sources. This paper breaks down, in plain language, what GWP means and […]
