historical Agreement in center ICAO for the reduction of the emissions of co2 of aviation
the ECSA emphasizes the necessity to establish "realistic objectives" also for the shipping
October 7, 2016
The agreement for the reduction of the emissions of co2 of the aviation based on measures founded on the market that is reached yesterday within the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the agency of the United Nations that it supervises to the development of international the aerial transport, is defined "historical" by the same ICAO, numerous national and international institutions and the organizations of the aerial field and of other modalities of transport.
The Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (LANE) is agreed in center ICAO with the objective to integrate the series of measures that the industry of the aerial transport is already implementing in order to reduce the emissions of co2, with technical and operating improvements and developments for the production and the use of sustainable alternative fuels for aviation.
The performance of the program LANE will begin with a phase pilot from 2021 to the 2023 continuation from a first phase from 2024 until 2026. The participation to both the starting phases will be voluntary and next phase 2027-2035 would have to see the participation of all the 191 States signers with some exceptions, between which those of the nations less developed or that anticipate activity of international aerial transport many limiting.
"The historical meaning of this agreement - it has emphasized the general manager and managing director of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), Alexandre de Juniac - cannot be never praised enough. LANE is the first total outline that covers an entire industrial field. The agreement LANE has transformed preparation years in an effective solution in order to allow with the airlines to manage their impact on the atmosphere". De Juniac has evidenced that "this agreement assures that the economic and social contribution of the aeronautical field is placed side by side by initiatives to the vanguard on the sustainability. With LANE - it has concluded - aviation remains to the vanguard of the industries that fight against the climatic change".
Between the organizations that represent other modalities of transport, also that of the European shipowners has manifested appreciation for stipulates it of the agreement, above all because the understanding is based on measures founded on the market: "we compliment our colleagues of aviation - the president of the European Community Shipowners' Associations (ECSA has declared), Niels Smedegaar - for this new goal in the reduction of the gas emissions greenhouse from fields of the transports to total level. We are sure - it has specified Smedegaard - than in the end of this month the International Maritime Organization (IMO) will decide on the next stages for that it regards the shipping". Remembering that from the 2013 field of the marine transports it in existence has an obligatory regime of total reduction of co2, the ECSA it has specified that task of the IMO is time to found on the substantial reductions of co2 already achieved by the industry of shipping the introduction of a system of total collection of data on the emissions of co2, that will be totally operating within 2018. The association of the European shipowners has emphasized that, on the base of the collected data and on a real understanding of the emissions, "it will be possible to establish realistic objectives for the reduction of the emissions of co2 for the field".
