Webinar Carbon Accounting Renewables Fuels
The Stakeholder Group for Advanced Biofuels established under the EU-India Clean Energy and Climate Partnership (EU-India CECP) is conducting a webinar on Carbon Accounting Renewables Fuels. This 1.5-hour webinar will cover the details of the European calculation in the Renewable Energy Directive. It will provide information on how the international organizations governing the aviation and maritime sectors, along with the involved industry players, have developed carbon emission reduction plans. The webinar will also discuss global methodologies for calculating such reductions.
Carbon accounting in the EU-RED
In the European Union fuel suppliers have to demonstrate that the renewable fuels they deliver to the transport market comply to the sustainability requirements set by the EU, part of which consists of showing that the greenhouse gas emissions throughout the production and supply chain are below a threshold value in comparison to the fossil fuel reference. Specific calculation rules apply.
Carbon emission reduction in the aviation and maritime sector
Awareness about rising greenhouse gas emissions due to increasing air and sea travel is growing in both the aviation and maritime sectors. If these sectors were considered countries, they would rank as the 6th and 7th largest emitters globally. This underscores the urgent need to transition away from fossil fuels and implement measures to reduce future carbon emissions.
