Department for Transport (DfT)
16 December 2024
On 16th December 2024, the Department for Transport (DfT) launched a public consultation on implementing the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) in the UK, in partnership with the UK ETS Authority.
The consultation seeks views on:
- Draft secondary legislation covering the requirements for aeroplane operators to offset their CO2 emissions for CORSIA. This follows the implementation of CORSIA’s monitoring, reporting and verification rules in UK law in 2021.
- Options for how CORSIA and the UK ETS should apply to those flights in scope of both schemes (flights departing the UK and arriving in the European Economic Area or Switzerland).
DfT, in partnership with the UK ETS Authority, will be holding a consultation event for stakeholders on Thursday 16th January 14:00-15:30. During the event, a summary of the consultation proposals will be presented and there will be opportunity to ask any questions. If you would like to receive an invitation to this event, please contact corsiaconsultation@dft.gov.uk .
