Starting in 2027, mandatory participation in the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) will begin for all member states of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), including Russia. Russian air carriers that operate international flights will be required to reduce CO₂ emissions under this scheme. The key tools that are currently available for meeting CORSIA requirements include: sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) based on renewable raw materials; lower carbon aviation fuel (LCAF) – a traditional aviation fuel with a reduced carbon footprint; and carbon units (CU) – offset certificates purchased on carbon markets. What is most needed to formulate a balanced strategy that can minimize the financial burden on carriers, develop new technologies, establish sustainable fuel production facilities, and recognize Russian decarbonization tools for the purposes of CORSIA, including sustainability certification?
