Climate Change and the European Union’s Emission Trading Scheme The Challenge for Indian Airlines Panagiotis Karamanos & Michael O’Connor* Environmental Experts, in EU-India Collaboration “Institutional Capacity Building for the Civil Aviation Sector in India,” from Athens International Airport June 24, 2011 *This document represents the views of the above authors only Discussion 1. European Union’s approach to climate change 2. Aviation and the Emission Trading Scheme 3. Responsibilities of Indian airlines European Union’s response Ratification of Kyoto Protocol by all EU Member States in 2002 EU target: 8% reduction distributed amongst its Member States (e.g. Germany -21%, UK -12.5%, Greece +25%) Generally aggressive position on climate change compared to other developed nations as shown by 2020 targets: Reduce GHG emissions by at least 20% vs. 1990 Increase share of renewable energy to 20% Increase energy efficiency by 20% Comprehensive policy and instruments to back up 2020 targets including the world’s largest Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) for GHGs EU Emission Trading Scheme Established through Directive 2003/87/EC Covers 10,000+ installations (>20MW) ~50% of EU’s CO2 Member States set National Emission Caps and allocate allowances for free and increasingly by auction Participants exceeding their allowed emission quota may purchase allowances from other, cleaner participants, purchase approved emission reduction credits through Clean Development Mechanisms or Joint Implementation projects, or pay a fine 1st Trading Period: 2005-2007 completed 2nd Trading Period: 2008-2012 in progress Annual monitoring, verification & reporting of emissions CO2 Emissions by Sector 2% 15% 13% 2% 33% 11% 24% Road Land Use Change & Forestry Other Transportation Aviation Light, Electricity, Heat Chemicals & Cement Other Energy & Industry Multiple contributors & stakeholders Airport operators 5% of the 2% share (i.e. 0.1% of the emissions) is attributable to airports Greater airport community (handling, cargo, retail, etc.) Passengers (business, tourism) International Civil Aviation Authority (ICAO) and local Civil Aviation Authorities Airlines Aircraft manufacturers Engine manufacturers What are airports doing about climate change? Airport Carbon Accreditation “ACI EUROPE and its members commit to reduce carbon emissions from airport operations fully within their own control with the ultimate target to become carbon neutral.” Levels of accreditation & participants Level 1: Mapping Ankara, Antalya, Bologna, Budapest, Chisinau, Cork, Dublin, Dubrovnik, Farnborough, Istanbul, Izmir, Portuguese Airports, Prague, Shannon, Toulouse-Blagnac Airport Level 2: Reduction Athens International Airport, Brussels, Charles de Gaulle, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Kristiansand, Manchester, Orly Level 3: Optimisation Amsterdam, Heathrow, Gothenburg, Munich, Zurich Level 3+: Neutrality Göteborg Landvetter, Linate, Malpensa, Oslo, Stockholm, Trondheim, Umea Athens International Airport Accredited at Level 1 (Mapping) in 2009 Upgraded to Level 2 (Reduction) in 2010 Emission reduction target: 25% reduction in CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 2020 using 2005 as a baseline year Climate Change Corporate Action Plan since 2008: Conversion of vehicles to LPG / purchase of hybrid vehicles Investment in energy-saving technology (hardware & software) 50% recycling rate target for 2012 / use of recycled materials Vravrona wetlands protection programme 8MW photovoltaic park under construction Multiple contributors & stakeholders Airport operators 5% of the 2% share (i.e. 0.1% of the emissions) is attributable to airports Greater airport community (handling, cargo, retail, etc.) Passengers (business, tourism) International Civil Aviation Authority (ICAO) and local Civil Aviation Authorities Airlines Aircraft manufacturers Engine manufacturers What about aircraft emissions? In 2009 the States belonging to the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) agreed to the following: a global goal of 2% annual improvement up to 2050 further explore more ambitious emission reductions including carbonneutral growth development of a global CO2 standard for aircraft development of a framework for market-based measures, such as emissions trading, in international aviation further financial and technical assistance to States submission of States’ action plans which outline their policies and actions as well as annual reporting of aviation fuel consumption. What about airlines? IATA’s (International Air Transport Association) 4-pillar strategy calls for improvements in: Technology (airframe design and materials, engine efficiency, alternative fuels, etc.) Operational Efficiency (aircraft and ground operations) Infrastructure (Air Traffic Management, airport capacity) Economic Instruments (emissions trading, emissions charges) Challenge: to be environmentally effective and economically feasible Inclusion of aviation in EU ETS EU is implementing the first ETS to address aviation Aviation included in EU ETS through Directive 2008/101/EC All (European and foreign carrier) flights landing at or taking off from airports in EU Member States De minimis: airlines with less than 1 round-trip flight to / from the EU per day are exempt as well as some types of flights (training, military, research, etc.) Inclusion starts in 2012 and continues through next period: 2013-2020 Inclusion of aviation in EU ETS Benchmark set at average of 2004-2006 emissions in order to account for considerable growth in aviation since 1990 Emissions cap: 97% of benchmark in 2012 decreasing to 95% in 2013 Allowances allocation (2012): 85% free/15% auctioned Allocation is determined by an airlines’ share of tonnekilometers 2 years earlier, e.g. 2010 share for 2012 Participants exceeding their allowed emission quota may: purchase allowances from other participants (airlines and thermal installations) purchase approved emission reduction credits or pay a fine Indian carriers & EU Administering Member State Air India, Jet Airways India UK Go Airlines, Indigo, Jet Lite India Ltd France Kingfisher Airlines Cyprus Requirements for Indian airlines For those Indian airlines flying into / out of European airports meeting the criteria for inclusion in the EU ETS must have already: submitted an annual emissions and tonne-kilometer monitoring plan in August 2009 for approval by the relevant EU Member State started monitoring emissions and tonne-kilometer data since January 2010 submitted externally verified emissions and tonnekilometer data for 2010 by March 2011 (and every March thereafter) receive free allowances based on benchmark calculation in February 2012 2012 and beyond Source: VerifAvia A simplified example of how the EU ETS works How are 2012 allowances allocated? Average 2004-2006 emissions: 200,000 tonnes 2012 Cap: 194.000 Free allowances: 165.000 Auctioned allowances: 29.000 How will the 165,000 free allowances be allocated between airlines? 2010 Tonne-Kilometers = Σ (Payload x Distance) Calculate Tonne-Kilometers of Air Greece: Calculate Tonne-Kilometers of CleanAir: Calculate Tonne-Kilometers of PropellAir: TOTAL Tonne-Kilometers: 2012 Free Allowances: Air Greece: CleanAir: PropellAir: 165,000 82,500 49,500 33,000 500,000 TK (50 %) 300,000 TK (30 %) 200,000 TK (20 %) 1,000,000 TK How much did my airline emit in 2012? Emissions = Mass of Fuel x 3.15 tonnes CO2 per Consumed tonne Fuel Airline Fuel Consumption (tonnes CO2) 26,190 Emissions CleanAir 12,000 37,800 PropellAir 15,000 47,250 Air Greece 82,500 Does my airline have enough allowances for 2012? Airline Emissions Allowances Status Air Greece 82,500 82,500 OK CleanAir 37,800 49,500 Sell PropellAir 47,250 33,000 Buy/Invest Concluding Remarks Inclusion of aviation in EU ETS is a reality Rules are relatively clear EU ETS is somewhat flexible Several Indian airlines are required to participate Actual impact to be evaluated in 2013 and beyond
