Clouds on the horizon - aviation and the EU ETS

19th February 2008

A recent blog looks at the current situation in aviation and the EU ETS.

With its Emissions Trading System (ETS) covering more than 12,000 installations, the European Union (EU) has been a global leader in establishing mechanisms that compel industries to pay for the right to pollute. But the EU has struggled with whether and how to bring Europe’s civil aviation sector into this system.

According to the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), civil aviation accounts for at least two percent of all CO2 emissions, and represents at least three percent of the total anthropogenic impact on climate change.
