Aviation Carbon 2024 will be of great importance to airlines, business jet and other categories of aircraft operators from around the world keen to find out the latest developments and thinking on sustainability and aviation emissions compliance.
It will be of particular interest to those working in departments responsible for policy, finance, operations, fuel, legal, regulatory, ESG and sustainability.

Many other stakeholders will also benefit from attending, including policymakers, regulators, fuel and energy companies, NGOs and carbon market professionals, consultants, researchers.
 

What’s new?

Last year we featured new sessions on SAF (sustainable aviation fuels), sustainability-linked finance, ESG (environmental, social & governance), carbon removal technology in addition to our traditional topics of carbon emissions compliance and carbon markets.  This year will be providing the latest updates on these key topics and also we will add much more content of the Non-CO2 impacts of aviation on the climate, which has seen increasing interest by policymakers in tackling the issue as well as potential technical and operational measures being developed to mitigate the net warming impacts of contrails.

More specifically, the EU ETS is to introduce new non-CO2 MRV (monitoring, reporting and verification) requirements of airlines / operators with effect from 1 January 2025. It’s essential that they and their partners are fully prepared to implement them.

Here’s an overview of some key topics to be covered in this year’s agenda which will be published shortly here –
 

 

Financial Impacts:

Immediately after COP29 and ahead of an incredibly packed and important 2025, Aviation Carbon 2024 will provide not only the latest policy updates, but also position you ahead of the pack for implementing Net Zero, SAF and Emissions Compliance initiatives in 2025 and beyond. It will assist you in finalising your sustainability budgets and plans for 2025.

The year 2024 is also a key milestone in assessing the level of emissions and CORSIA offsets required to be purchased, and forecasting requirements in the build up to a peak in 2026 / 2027 when CORSIA offsetting will be 100% mandatory globally. CFOs, Treasurers, and other decision makers will need to understand all the levers to help them forecast their carbon purchasing needs and ensuring adequate budget is set aside.

Moreover, SAF mandates are increasing further the amount of SAF to be purchased, requiring not only operational planning but also financial planning. Are you ready for all of this ?
