[F1PART B — U.K. Monitoring and reporting of emissions from aviation activities
Monitoring of carbon dioxide emissions U.K.
Emissions shall be monitored by calculation. Emissions shall be calculated using the formula:
Fuel consumption × emission factor
Fuel consumption shall include fuel consumed by the auxiliary power unit. Actual fuel consumption for each flight shall be used wherever possible and shall be calculated using the formula:
Amount of fuel contained in aircraft tanks once fuel uplift for the flight is complete – amount of fuel contained in aircraft tanks once fuel uplift for subsequent flight is complete + fuel uplift for that subsequent flight.
If actual fuel consumption data are not available, a standardised tiered method shall be used to estimate fuel consumption data based on best available information.
Default IPCC emission factors, taken from the 2006 IPCC Inventory Guidelines or subsequent updates of these Guidelines, shall be used unless activity-specific emission factors identified by independent accredited laboratories using accepted analytical methods are more accurate. The emission factor for biomass shall be zero.
A separate calculation shall be made for each flight and for each fuel.
Reporting of emissions U.K.
Each aircraft operator shall include the following information in its report under Article 14(3):
Data identifying the aircraft operator, including:
name of the aircraft operator,
its administering Member State,
its address, including postcode and country and, where different, its contact address in the administering Member State,
the aircraft registration numbers and types of aircraft used in the period covered by the report to perform the aviation activities listed in Annex I for which it is the aircraft operator,
the number and issuing authority of the air operator certificate and operating licence under which the aviation activities listed in Annex I for which it is the aircraft operator were performed,
address, telephone, fax and e-mail details for a contact person, and
name of the aircraft owner.
For each type of fuel for which emissions are calculated:
fuel consumption,
emission factor,
total aggregated emissions from all flights performed during the period covered by the report which fall within the aviation activities listed in Annex I for which it is the aircraft operator,
aggregated emissions from:
all flights performed during the period covered by the report which fall within the aviation activities listed in Annex I for which it is the aircraft operator and which departed from an aerodrome situated in the territory of a Member State and arrived at an aerodrome situated in the territory of the same Member State,
all other flights performed during the period covered by the report which fall within the aviation activities listed in Annex I for which it is the aircraft operator,
aggregated emissions from all flights performed during the period covered by the report which fall within the aviation activities listed in Annex I for which it is the aircraft operator and which:
departed from each Member State, and
arrived in each Member State from a third country,
uncertainty.
Monitoring of tonne-kilometre data for the purpose of Articles 3e and 3f U.K.
For the purpose of applying for an allocation of allowances in accordance with Article 3e(1) or Article 3f(2), the amount of aviation activity shall be calculated in tonne-kilometres using the following formula:
tonne-kilometres = distance × payload
where:
‘ distance ’ means the great circle distance between the aerodrome of departure and the aerodrome of arrival plus an additional fixed factor of 95 km; and
‘ payload ’ means the total mass of freight, mail and passengers carried.
For the purposes of calculating the payload:
the number of passengers shall be the number of persons on-board excluding crew members,
an aircraft operator may choose to apply either the actual or standard mass for passengers and checked baggage contained in its mass and balance documentation for the relevant flights or a default value of 100 kg for each passenger and his checked baggage.
Reporting of tonne-kilometre data for the purpose of Articles 3e and 3f U.K.
Each aircraft operator shall include the following information in its application under Article 3e(1) or Article 3f(2):
Data identifying the aircraft operator, including:
name of the aircraft operator,
its administering Member State,
its address, including postcode and country and, where different, its contact address in the administering Member State,
the aircraft registration numbers and types of aircraft used during the year covered by the application to perform the aviation activities listed in Annex I for which it is the aircraft operator,
the number and issuing authority of the air operator certificate and operating licence under which the aviation activities listed in Annex I for which it is the aircraft operator were performed,
address, telephone, fax and e-mail details for a contact person, and
name of the aircraft owner.
Tonne-kilometre data:
number of flights by aerodrome pair,
number of passenger-kilometres by aerodrome pair,
number of tonne-kilometres by aerodrome pair,
chosen method for calculation of mass for passengers and checked baggage,
total number of tonne-kilometres for all flights performed during the year to which the report relates falling within the aviation activities listed in Annex I for which it is the aircraft operator.]
