The aviation sector is a fast-growing industry that contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. To address this issue, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) set aspirational emissions goals and introduced the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). CORSIA aims to cap carbon emissions from international flights by 2020 through the use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) and other measures. The eligibility criteria for SAFs include a 10% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels and compliance with sustainability criteria. However, challenges remain, such as the limited production capacity and higher cost of SAFs. CORSIA’s implementation is voluntary for participating states in the first phase but will become mandatory in the second phase. Increasing participation, ensuring the integrity of offset credits, and addressing technological and documentation challenges are essential for the successful implementation of CORSIA and the decarbonization of the aviation sector.
