UK Explores Carbon Trading to Boost Sustainable Aviation Fuel

UK Explores Carbon Trading to Boost Sustainable Aviation Fuel

The UK has introduced a Revenue Certainty Mechanism (RCM) to incentivize the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), but the funding source is controversial. Airlines suggest utilizing funds from the Emission Trading System (ETS) to finance the RCM. This approach would alleviate the financial burden on airlines while simultaneously promoting the development of the SAF industry, ultimately facilitating the green transition of the aviation sector. This proposal aims to create a win-win scenario by leveraging existing carbon pricing mechanisms to accelerate the adoption of sustainable fuels.

EU Aviation Carbon Policy Spurs Global Climate Action Debate

EU Aviation Carbon Policy Spurs Global Climate Action Debate

The EU's aviation carbon emission policy, a pioneering attempt to address climate change, incorporates the aviation industry into the carbon emission trading system, encouraging airlines to reduce their carbon footprint. This policy has elicited complex reactions internationally and provides a reference for the implementation of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Customs authorities need to actively adapt, strengthen cooperation, and enhance professional capabilities to contribute to global climate change mitigation efforts. This includes monitoring emissions, enforcing regulations, and collaborating with international partners to ensure effective implementation of the policy.
