Progress on ICAO's Strategic Objectives — Environmental Protection — ICAO Environmental Tools

ICAO Environmental Tools

 

ICAO continued to improve its Carbon Emissions Calculator and Green Meetings Calculator by updating their databases and methodology to apply the best available industry data to take account of factors such as aircraft type, routing and payload.

 

The ICAO Fuel Savings Estimation Tool (IFSET),which was developed to assist States to estimate fuel savings in a manner consistent with the models approved by the Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP) and aligned with the Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP), is continuously maintained in order to ensure the highest possible quality results for users.

 

The Environmental Benefits Tool (EBT) which aims to assist States in understanding the benefits of CO2 mitigation measures as part of the ICAO State Action Plan initiative, is continuously maintained in order to ensure the highest possible quality information for users.

 

The Aviation Environmental System (AES), developed under the ICAO-European Union joint assistance project to facilitate the establishment of emissions inventories and periodic reporting to ICAO of CO2 emissions from international aviation, has been further improved based on the feedback of users and the evolution of ICAO’s recommendations and reporting requirements.

 

ICAO initiated work for the development of the ICAO CORSIA CO2 Estimation and Reporting Tool (CERT) that will support aircraft operators in applying simplified procedures for the monitoring and reporting of CO2 emissions under the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). A first version of the CERT including the monitoring functionality is expected to be available in 2018.
