Aviation is the sixth largest emitter of CO2 in the world. But Africa pays the price for others’ emissions. Don’t ask us to make sacrifices for you. Never

✈⛽As global #airline traffic fully recovered from the pandemic, jet fuel demand and CO2-emissions rebounded a as well. Flying less would be an option to reduce, but in especially in Asia this isn't deemed realistic. That's why we need SAFs to at least reduce life cycle emissions. We're looking into SAF supply and demand dynamics again from a regional angle. Shortly to find here: https://lnkd.in/g6FQb9z #ING

Sustainable Logistics insights from the COP29 Azerbaijan How to move global Air and Ocean Transport to Net Zero by 2050. Watch the expert panel discussion with the topic "The urgent need for a global carbon tax on aviation and shipping". Is the solution just a matter of increasing prices ? or do we need other ways to get there ... is it the fossil industry that needs to be part of the next move .. not to forget driving efficiencies in ocean transport... and lets avoid unnecessary inflation increase .. we need renewable energy .. there may not be one single solution. See video below, really worth watching and many thanks for sharing this Marie Owens Thomsen. At The World Bank Pavilion with some great speakers: - Ruud de Mooij Deputy Director, Fiscal Affairs Department, International Monetary Fund, - Marie Owens Thomsen SVP, Sustainability and Chief Economist, International Air Transport Association (IATA), - Morten Bo Christiansen SVP, Head of Energy Transition , A.P. Moller - Maersk, - Tom Evans Senior Associate, Global Solidarity Levies Task Force, European Climate Foundation (ECF), Moderated by: Pilita Clark, Associate Editor, Financial Times In our soon the be launched "Net Zero Logistics Delivered" joint research report in cooperation with Smart Freight Centre, Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University and AllChiefs we will also provide a perspective on Air and Ocean Transport and what global companies can do to move to Net Zero Logistics. Stay tuned as our report publication is anticipated around the United Nations World Sustainable Transport day later this month.

Europe-bound ships are facing higher emissions levies under the EU’s ETS as conflict in the Red Sea continues to cause prolonged voyage diversions, trebling fuel costs and carbon emissions. By switching to Quadrise’s bioMSAR™, marine operators can cut their carbon footprint and costs from the EU’s ETS by up to 25%. #Decarbonisation #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #Shipping

In 2023, only 22% of the CO₂ emissions from flights departing Europe were accounted for by regional carbon trading schemes. Despite European airlines setting a net-zero goal for 2050 and grappling with increasing carbon expenses, they claim to be at a disadvantage compared to global rivals not bound by similar rules. According to the European Federation for Transport and Environment (T&E), flights departing from Europe emitted 164.5 megatonnes of CO₂ in 2023, marking a 11% rise from the previous year, but remaining 12% below the 2019 peak. Even with the existing ETS frameworks, European airlines spent €3bn in EUA allowances in 2023, as estimated by T&E. Consequently, the cost of pollution has become the third-largest expenditure for major European airlines, trailing only fuel and labour costs, as highlighted by an industry executive. Reach out to Grey Epoch to learn more about the EU ETS. #EUETS #Aviation #NetZero

On Friday, the European Commission confirmed the proposal to monitor non-CO2 emissions for flights within Europe ONLY. They heavily weakened the original proposal that included all flights departing from the continent. ✈ Once again, long-haul airlines have received preferential treatment from the EU. They worked hard to undermine action and research on non-CO2 and are being rewarded for their efforts. A great piece in The Guardian illustrates the efforts of American airlines in the fight to weaken the proposal. ❌ This proposal was there to help better understand the problem of non-CO2 and this effort has been hampered. 🔜 In 2027, the EU will start monitoring contrails on all flights departing from Europe. This will be key to advance the understanding of contrails, in a view to start reducing them. https://lnkd.in/g57W73p2 InfluenceMap Lucca Ewbank Joachim Majholm

Coming up—Pricing emissions in international aviation and maritime transport. Aviation & shipping represent 6% of global CO2 emissions, yet the sectors receive broad exemptions for fossil fuel taxation. With aviation and shipping growing rapidly how can governments reform subsidies to support the energy transition and help lower the playing field for more cleaner alternatives? Join members of the Coalition on Phasing Out Fossil Fuel Incentives including Subsidies alongside international energy and transport experts for an insightful discussion on fossil fuel subsidy reform and other options.

Route changes increased carbon emissions by 23 million tons in 6 months Carbon emissions from maritime transport increased by 23 million tons in the first half of this year as ships took longer routes to avoid attacks in the Red Sea. According to Marine Benchmark, the 6% increase brought the sector's emissions to 450 million tons. The largest increase was seen among container ships. Houthi attacks forced ships to take routes around South Africa instead of the Suez Canal, extending voyages. Sanctions imposed on Russia due to its invasion of Ukraine also led to longer shipping routes. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set a non-binding target for the sector to achieve net-zero emissions by the middle of the century, but reaching this goal will require a major transformation in a sector that still relies heavily on fossil fuels. https://lnkd.in/dyhZN52c #atfforwarding #atfweeklyvoyage #news #MaritimeTransport #CarbonEmissions

NEARLY £6 billion! That’s how much we could have raised in 2023 if #aviation #fuel was taxed the same as the fuel that goes into our #cars. But the #UK doesn’t tax aviation fuel at all, and it never has. Nurses, plumbers, farmers - all of them have paid more tax on the fuel they buy than the aviation #industry ever has. This is despite the huge #climate impact, air #pollution, and adverse #noise effects that burning #fossil fuel in #planes causes. You may hear the aviation industry say that we can’t tax jet fuel. But that’s a lie. We not only can tax jet fuel, we must. Not only would a tax on jet fuel generate valuable #revenue to address the costs of the damage done by plane pollution, it would actively reduce #emissions - emissions that are currently bouncing back post-Covid.

UK emissions fall by 5.4% in 2023 vs 2022. In the UK the largest source of emissions is now Domestic Transport (excludes International Aviation which is reported separately.) They say this about domestic transportation: "This is the first-time domestic transport emissions have fallen since 2020 when travel was heavily restricted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Emissions from domestic transport are provisionally estimated be 11.1% (13.9 MtCO2e) lower than in 2019, the last pre-pandemic year." Emissions from international aviation fuel use from UK bunkers: 2019: 36.7 MtCO2e 2022: 28.5 MtCO2e 2023: 32.9 MtCO2e Although 10.5% lower than the 2019 high, international aviation emissions grew by 15.6% over 2022.
