ICAO formally adopts aircraft CO2 standard
ICAO has formally adopted a new global standard for aircraft CO2 emissions, building on an agreement reached in Feb 2016. The new standard, which has been added to an annex of the Chicago Convention and adopted by the 36-state ICAO Council, is aimed at capping aircraft CO2 emissions and will be gradually introduced from 2020. “International civil aviation has once again taken pioneering action to address the impact of aviation CO2 emissions on the global climate, making air transport the first industry sector globally to adopt a CO2 emissions design certification standard,” ICAO Council president Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu said. Initially, it will apply to new aircraft types, before being rolled out to in-production aircraft from 2028. After 2028, any aircraft not meeting the criteria cannot be produced, unless their designs are modified. <br/>
