How Capping Aviation’s Carbon Pollution Can Help Give Wings to Broader Climate Goals
~ 30,000 new large aircraft by 2032
Aviation: 2% of global CO2 emissions today, but forecasted to quadruple in coming years
OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS: International Civil Aviation Organization
…with a 2016 deadline for a single global MBM
“Four pillars” on emissions: - technology- operations- alt. fuels- market-based measure (MBM)
Industry’s view Source: IATA
MBM: The Players
ICAO Industry ICAO ICSA
-193 countries-Montreal HQ-36-state Council-17-state EAG- CAEP- Steering
Group - GMTF - MRV - Units - AFTF
-IATA: 85% int’l air travel -Geneva/Montreal HQ -Nat’l/regional groups-Manufacturers (Boeing, Airbus, GE, UTC, etc.)-Airports, air navigation-Business jetsOverall: a powerful, well-financed lobby that sees it must address GHG emissions

Others (IETA, VCS, UNFCCC, etc.)

The Challenges
• Develop policy options that: – Address Common but Differential growth in
regional air traffic post-2020,
– By ensuring that participating jurisdictions can offer high-quality emissions units, encourage broad engagement,
– minimize overall compliance costs.
• While UNFCCC moves toward Paris 2015, maintain momentum in ICAO toward 2016
Carbon Markets & Aviation
??
…to build a winning coalition in ICAO
NOTE: Central traffic growth scenario; international emission reductions target: 50% emissions cut by 2050; no auction; upper and lower estimates for case 1 and 2 depend on in-sector abatement. Lower (green) bars; airlines may start purchasing emissions units today, before other sectors. Upper (blue) bars: airlines wait until after 2020 to purchase emissions units and face maximum competition. Source: EDF analysis.
If airlines move early, CNG2020 would add $1.5-$2.5 to CDG-JFK ticket in 2030, but if they wait, the cost goes up
Parallel Market (CASE 1)
Integrated Market (CASE 2)
2030
2014• CAEP / CAEP SG /
GMTF meets 3-4 times, finalizes recommendations on MRV, emissions units
• EAG meets regularly in Montreal, finalizes MBM options based on "straw man" proposal
2015• CAEP GMTF
analyzes costs of options
• CAEP AFTF analyzes LCA of biofuels
• EAG/Council recommend a particular option
• UNFCCC Paris COP
2016• Awareness-raising
in key countries• Recommended
option presented to Council, regional groups
• Assembly decision on adoption of ICAO MBM via a set of operator standards
