Prior to the 2019-2020 period, the State should aim to approve the aeroplane operator’s Emissions Monitoring Plan and associated Fuel Use Monitoring Method according to the eligibility criteria in Annex 16, Volume IV, Part II, Chapter 2, 2.2 while taking into account the following: a) Aeroplane operators with annual emissions from international flights, as described in Annex 16, Volume IV, Part II, Chapter 1, 1.1.2 and Chapter 2, 2.1, of less than 500 000 tonnes may use the ICAO CORSIA CERT; b) If an aeroplane operator can reasonably be expected to have the capability to implement a Fuel Use Monitoring Method as described in Annex 16, Volume IV, Appendix 2, and is expected to have annual CO2 emissions greater than 500 000 tonnes during the first compliance period, the State should not approve the aeroplane operator to use the ICAO CORSIA CERT; c) If an aeroplane operator has annual CO2 emissions greater than or equal to 500 000 tonnes, but is expected to have annual CO2 emissions lower than 500 000 tonnes during the first compliance period, the State may choose to approve its use of the ICAO CORSIA CERT. 3-14 Environmental Technical Manual 3.1.4 Fuel Use Monitoring Methods As described in Annex 16, Volume IV, Appendix 2, an aeroplane operator can choose from five different methods for fuel use monitoring. The methods are equal, there is no hierarchy for the selecting a method. The following methods are applicable: a) Method A; b) Method B; c) Block-off / Block-on; d) Fuel Uplift; or e) Fuel Allocation with Block Hour. The chosen method is to be defined in the Emissions Monitoring Plan and approved by the State prior to the monitoring period. The chosen monitoring method will be applied for the whole compliance period. Any changes to the Fuel Use Monitoring Method require a resubmission to and re-approval by the State for the next compliance period. 3.1.4.1 Guidance on the implementation of Method A Method A requires data from the flight under consideration (N) as well as data from the subsequent flight (N+1). Data from flight under consideration (flight N): Amount of fuel contained in aeroplane tanks once fuel uplifts for the flight are complete. The amount of fuel will be expressed as mass (in tonnes). Data from subsequent flight (N+1): Amount of fuel contained in aeroplane tanks once fuel uplifts for the subsequent flight are complete. The amount of fuel will be expressed as mass (in tonnes). Sum of fuel uplifts for the subsequent flight measured in volume and multiplied with a density value (in tonnes). Volume IV. Procedures for demonstrating compliance with the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) Chapter 3 3-15 Figure 3-3. Fuel Use Monitoring Method A Calculation of fuel use (FN): The aeroplane operator will use the following formula to compute fuel use according to Method A: FN = TN – TN+1 + UN+1 Illustration of calculation: The following table shows an illustration of calculations of fuel use based on Method A. 3-16 Environmental Technical Manual Table 3-3. Illustration of calculations of fuel use based on Method A Flight details Fuel in Tanks and Uplift (in tonnes) Fuel use Consecutive number Date of flight Uplift quantity Fuel in tanks before uplift Fuel in tanks after uplift Block-off fuel Method A N UN TN FN=TN-TN+1 +UN+1 1 28-Jan-16 89.3 5.3 94.6 94.5 87.6 2 29-Jan-16 43.3 7.0 50.3 50.3 44.5 3 29-Jan-16 26.9 5.8 32.7 32.7 23.1 4 30-Jan-16 - 9.6 9.6 9.5 6.1 5 30-Jan-16 71.7 3.4 75.1 75.0 70.6 … 31-Jan-16 - 4.5 4.5 4.5 - Note. — The time of measurement of fuel in tanks is essential for the correct application of Method A. The value “fuel in tanks after uplift” is a rather unusual data point in aeroplane operations which should not be mistaken with the far more common “block-off fuel”. Exemption: If no fuel uplift takes place for the flight under consideration, the amount of fuel contained in aeroplane tanks will be determined at block-off for the flight. The rule will be applied in the same way in cases where no fuel uplift takes place for the subsequent flight. This is shown for flight number 4 in the illustration of calculation table above (i.e., TN taken as 9.5 tonnes block-off fuel for the flight under consideration, assuming 0.1 tonne APU fuel burn between block-on and block-off). 3.1.4.2 Guidance on the implementation of Method B Method B requires data from the flight under consideration (N) as well as data from the prior flight (N-1). Data from flight prior to the flight under consideration (flight N-1): Amount of fuel remaining in aeroplane tanks at time of block-on of the flight prior to the flight under consideration. The amount of fuel will be expressed as mass (in tonnes). Data from flight under consideration (flight N): Amount of fuel remaining in aeroplane tanks at time of block-on of the flight under consideration. The amount of fuel will be expressed as mass (in tonnes). Sum of fuel uplifts for the flight measured in volume and multiplied with a density value (in tonnes). Volume IV.
