print FuelPlus/ASP Emissions - Description
All flights operated from, to, or between airports located in an EU member state fall under the EU emission trading scheme beginning in 2012. Starting from January 2010, every airline is required to monitor tonne-kilometre data and CO2 emissions on a flight-by-flight basis for all flight operations falling under ETS and to submit annual reports.
FuelPlus/ASP Emissions is targeted to support the correct calculation of tonne-kilometre data and CO2 emissions for all flights operated under ETS and the generation of related annual reports.
The system imports actual flight records, fuel uplift messages, and load sheet data in order to calculate tonne-kilometre, fuel consumption, and CO2 emissions for each operated flight and each type of fuel used.
The data are calculated in line with the EU ETS regulations using the best available information, including fuel on board, shutdown fuel, uplift volumes coming from ACARS, flight logs, telex messages, or fuel tickets, and actual density as reported for each fueling. In case of missing actual data, the module can use statistical numbers calculated internally. Based on the type of fuel used, the module calculates the CO2 emission for each flight using fuel consumption and the fuel type’s specific emission factor.
Additionally, the system will support the emission forecast calculation using airline’s future flight schedules and statistical fuel consumption / emission per sector and aircraft type. Furthermore, the system will provide reports that combine actual and forecasted emissions in order to generate an outlook for the full year. Variance reporting to compare planned vs. actual emissions on a flight-by-flight basis completes FuelPlus/ASP Emissions.
