LV 010Answer
All aircraft operators (commercial and non-commercial) that are subject to the emissions trading and are allowed to use a simplified procedure (see answer LV 033) may make use of an appropriate estimation tool in the emissions reporting and estimate their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.The tools shall be used only if they are approved by the European Commission. The approved tools must be used in their respectively valid version.
The tools must be able to process all the relevant Eurocontrol data and to prevent an underestimation of emissions. The tools shall be used only if they are approved by the European Commission. The approved tools must be used in their respectively valid version.
The European Commission has approved the so-called Small Emitters Tool (SET) for use in the European Union emission trading system (EU ETS 1) (see Commission Regulation (EU) Number 606/2010 of 09/07/2010).
The tool was developed by Eurocontrol, the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation. The tool and a description is available free of charge on the Eurocontrol website. There is also the possibility for an instant delivery registration if you wish to receive each release of the tool by e-mail. When reporting emissions, care must be taken to always use the current version for the corresponding reporting year.
Another option for using the simplified procedure is the Eurocontrol Support Facility. For this purpose, aircraft operators must set up an access and the emissions report must be prepared entirely with data from the Eurocontrol Support Facility. When using this procedure, the verification of the emission report can be waived (see answer LV 038). Using the Small Emitters Tool is not sufficient for a waiver of the verification; in this case the emission report still has to be verified by independent third parties.
