THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of

13 October 2003 establishing a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within

carbon fuels and also to ensure proper alignment with sustainability and greenhouse

gas savings criteria laid down in Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European

Parliament and of the Council

, for the monitoring and reporting of emissions from

the transport of CO

by other means than pipelines for geological storage, emissions

from aviation including monitoring and reporting of non-CO

aviation effects,

emissions from the new emission trading system for buildings, road transport and non-

ETS industry.

(3)

Under the new emission trading system for buildings, road transport and additional

sectors, it is necessary, for the definition of a ‘final consumer’ in Article 3(69) to

provide for more specific reference to the definition of regulated entity in Article 3(ae)

of Directive 2003/87/EC.

Article 5 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 should be amended to reflect

that the completeness of monitoring and reporting should cover all process and

combustion emissions of the stationary installation, from all emission sources and

source streams belonging to activities listed in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC and

other directly associated activities in line with Article 3(e) of that Directive.

To improve the quality of information on biomass, on renewable fuels of non-

biological origin (RFNBOs), on recycled carbon fuels (RCFs), and on synthetic low-

carbon fuels and to facilitate national reporting under Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of

the European Parliament and of the Council

, operators should monitor and report

emissions from the non-zero rated and zero-rated carbon fraction of these fuels as

memo-items in the emission reports. For that purpose, parameters concerning non-

zero-rated and zero-rated biomass, RFNBOs and RCFs, or synthetic low-carbon fuels

should be determined and reported for each corresponding source stream under the

standard calculation methodology pursuant to Article 24 of Implementing Regulation

(EU) 2018/2066 and the mass balance system pursuant to Article 25 of that

Regulation. Specific rules are necessary on the determination of composition-related

calculation factors concerning non-zero-rated and zero-rated biomass, RFNBOs and

RCFs, and synthetic low-carbon fuels, including the zero-rated and non-zero-rated

carbon fraction.

To avoid systematic underestimation of the total emissions in the mass balance system

when zero-rated carbon is contained in the input and in the output streams, it is

important for operators to determine the zero-rated carbon content of the output

streams. Clear evidence is required to demonstrate that underestimation has been

avoided and that the total mass of the zero-rated carbon fractions in the output

materials is equivalent to the total mass of zero-rated carbon fractions contained in the

input materials.

Directive 2003/87/EC, as revised by Directive (EU) 2023/959, specifies that the

emission factor of biomass is zero if the biomass complies with the sustainability and

greenhouse gas emissions savings criteria for the use of biomass fuels established by

Directive (EU) 2018/2001, taking into account any necessary adjustments for

application under Directive 2003/87/EC, as set out in the implementing acts referred to

in Article 14 of that Directive. In order to clarify the conditions under which biomass

emissions can be zero-rated and to align with the revised Directive 2018/2001, Article

38(5) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 should be amended. Where the

relevant sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions savings criteria do not apply to a

specific type of biomass, that biomass can be zero-rated directly. However, in this

case, operators should still demonstrate that the criteria are not applicable. Assessing

the proof of applicability and proof of sustainability is an essential part of the

verification where the verifier checks the correct application of the monitoring

methodology, including the zero-rating of the biomass. Where sustainability and

greenhouse gas emissions savings criteria laid down in Article 29(2) to (7) and (10) do

apply, compliance with these criteria is required for zero-rating. Biomass that does not

comply with the criteria in this case should be treated as a fossil fuel. Zero-rating of

emissions under EU ETS is distinct from support schemes defined in Article 2, point

(5) of Directive (EU) 2018/2001.

Article 31a of Directive (EU) 2023/2413 of the European Parliament and of the

Council

sets up a Union database to enable the tracing of liquid and gaseous

renewable fuels, recycled carbon fuels and synthetic low-carbon fuels (‘the Union

Database’). By 21 November 2024, the Union Database should be fully operational.

Where compliance is required with the sustainability and the greenhouse gas

emissions saving criteria laid down in Article 29, paragraphs (2) to (7) and (10) of

Directive (EU) 2018/2001, for biomass, and Article 29a of that Directive, for liquid

and gaseous renewable fuels and RCFs, proof of sustainability should be provided in

line with Article 30 and 31 of that Directive. To facilitate this process and to reduce

the administrative burden, Member States should be able to rely on the evidence

provided by EU ETS operators, aircraft operators and regulated entities from the

Union Database on the transactions related to any amount of fuel that has been

purchased and used during the reporting year and that has been connected to the

cancellation of the respective quantity in the Union database. In the case of subsequent

non-compliance regarding the proof of sustainability of the quantities cancelled in the

databases, the competent authority shall correct the verified emissions accordingly.

According to Article 33 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066, sampling is to

be representative for the specific batch and free of bias. Where continuous sampling of

the flue gas stream is used, the analysis frequency should be aligned with this process

and cover the whole reporting year without interruption.

Directive (EU) 2023/959 has extended the scope of activities listed in Annex I to

Directive 2003/87/EC for the refining of any oil, the production of any iron, the

production of alumina, the production of hydrogen and the transport of CO

through

means other than pipelines. In order to ensure alignment with Annex I to Directive

Directive (EU) 2023/2413 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 October 2023 amending

Directive (EU) 2018/2001, Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and Directive 98/70/EC as regards the

promotion of energy from renewable sources, and repealing Council Directive (EU) 2015/652, (OJ L,

http://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/2023/2413/oj).

KEF, Alm.del - 2023-24 - Bilag 388: Notat om komitésag vedr. revision af MR-forordningen om overvågning og rapportering af drivhusgasemissioner, fra udenrigsministeren

2003/87/EC, the Annexes to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 need to be

updated.

(11)

Directive 2003/87/EC recognises the potential role of RCFs and RFNBOs for reducing

greenhouse gas emissions in sectors that are hard to decarbonise. To contribute to the

decarbonisation, their greenhouse gas emissions savings need to meet the minimum

greenhouse gas emissions savings laid out in Article 29a of Directive (EU) 2018/2001

and be calculated according to the methodology set out in the act adopted pursuant to

that Article.

RCFs or RFNBOs that contain carbon in their chemical composition, such as e-

kerosene or e-methanol, require a carbon feedstock for their production. Until all

stages of the life of a product, in which captured carbon is used, are subject to carbon

pricing, in particular at the stage of waste incineration, reliance on accounting for

emissions at the point of their release from products into the atmosphere would result

in emissions being underestimated. Where RFNBOs or RCFs are produced from

captured CO

under an activity covered by Directive 2003/87/EC, the emissions

should be accounted for under that activity. In order to avoid double counting and

requiring a double payment for the same emissions, the CO

emissions from RCFs and

RFNBOs that comply with the criteria laid out in Directive (EU) 2018/2001 should

have an emission factor of zero.

Synthetic low-carbon fuels must comply with the greenhouse gas savings criteria laid

down in Article 2 point 13 of Directive (EU) 2024/1788 on common rules for the

internal markets in renewable gas and natural gas and in hydrogen. Synthetic low-

carbon fuels require carbon feedstock for their production. Subject to review in respect

of zero-rated carbon combusted in installations which are exempt from the EU ETS

due their high use of biomass pursuant to point 1 of Annex I, to avoid double counting

within the EU ETS in accordance with Article 5 of Commission Implementing

Regulation (EU) 2018/2066, if the carbon content of the fuels stems from the EU ETS

and it has therefore been accounted, including when its emissions factor is zero, the

emissions from the synthetic low-carbon fuel should be zero-rated. The emissions

resulting from synthetic low-carbon fuels with other carbon content should be treated

as their fossil fuel equivalents. It is necessary to provide rules for the determination of

the fraction of zero-rated synthetic low-carbon fuels.

RCFs or RFNBOs that do not meet the greenhouse gas emissions savings laid out in

Article 29a of Directive 2018/2001 are considered to lead to insufficient greenhouse

gas emissions savings in comparison to fossil fuels. Therefore, the emissions resulting

from the combustion of such RCFs or RFNBOs should be treated as their fossil fuel

equivalents. As fossil fuels may be blended with RCFs or RFNBOs, it is necessary to

provide rules for the determination of the fraction of zero-rated RCF or RFNBO.

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 should determine the monitoring

methodology that should be applied to emissions from zero-rated RFNBOs, RCFs and

synthetic low-carbon fuels. Provisions should be included for the deduction of total

zero-rated RFNBO, RCF and synthetic low-carbon fuels emissions, in the case where

the operator uses the measurement-based methodology for the determination of total

emissions. When designing support schemes for renewable or low-carbon fuels,

Member States retain the right to specify how to incentivise the different RFNBOs,

RCFs or synthetic low carbon fuels. .

In addition, when applying the measurement-based methodology for biomass-

containing fuels and materials, conditions should be added when the biomass fraction

(12)

(13)

(14)

(15)

(16)

KEF, Alm.del - 2023-24 - Bilag 388: Notat om komitésag vedr. revision af MR-forordningen om overvågning og rapportering af drivhusgasemissioner, fra udenrigsministeren

equals the zero-rated biomass fraction. Clarifications should also be provided when

these conditions are not met and in such case the provisions deployed related to

calculation-based approach should be followed by the operator.

(17)

When the installation’s proposed methodology involves continuous sampling from the

flue gas stream, and at the same time the stationary installation consumes natural gas

from the grid, to avoid double counting, the CO

stemming from biogas should be

determined by laboratory analysis and this amount should be respectively deducted

from the total zero-rated CO

previously determined by calculation-based approach.

Directive 2003/87/EC does not recognise negative greenhouse gas emissions. To avoid

generating negative emissions, an operator should not subtract from its emissions any

that originates from zero-rated fuels. In the case of the capture of emissions from

a mix of zero and non-zero-rated sources, to ensure clarity and simplicity, the quantity

of CO

resulting from non-zero-rated sources that can be deducted from the operator’s

emissions should be established based on the proportion of the zero-rated and non-

zero-rated emissions.

The activities ‘transport of greenhouse gases for geological storage’, and ‘geological

storage of greenhouse gases’, in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC, cover all CO

transported and stored in a storage site permitted under Directive 2009/31/EC,

irrespective of the geographical and physical origin of the CO

. In order to avoid any

gaps in the monitoring and reporting framework and to provide the incentives for

operators of CO

transport infrastructure or of CO

storage sites to minimise leaks, it is

necessary to clarify that these operators should monitor and report any emissions from

all CO

for geological storage in their custody, including if originating from activities

outside of the scope of Directive 2003/87/EC.

As CO

for geological storage is expected to be transported by a variety of modes,

Directive (EU) 2023/959 expanded the scope of the activity ‘transport of greenhouse

gases for geological storage’ in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC to any transport

mode. Therefore, it is necessary to revise the monitoring and reporting provisions

related to the CO

transport activity to ensure that they are applicable to a CO

transport infrastructure based on any transport modes. Where a transport mode is also

covered by another activity under Directive 2003/87/EC, to avoid the double counting

of emissions, the emissions covered by the other activity under that Directive should

be excluded from the boundaries of the CO

transport activity.

The transport of CO

for geological storage may take place over long distances.

Therefore, the CO

may be in transit for lengthy periods. In such cases, it is

appropriate to provide the operator of the CO

transport infrastructure the flexibility to

subtract from the emissions to be reported in a given year any amount of CO

that is

still in transit by 31 December of that year, provided that the CO

shipment reaches its

destination and is transferred out to a storage site or to another EU ETS installation no

later than 31 January of the following year.

The revised Directive 2003/87/EC amended the definition of emissions to also

encompass greenhouse gases that are not directly released into the atmosphere.

Therefore, these should also be considered emissions under the EU ETS, unless they

are stored in a storage site in accordance with Directive 2009/31/EC or they are

permanently chemically bound in a product so that they do not enter the atmosphere

under normal use, and do not enter the atmosphere under any normal activity taking

place after the end of the life of the product. In consequence, the Annexes to

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 need to be updated accordingly to account

(18)

(19)

(20)

(21)

(22)

KEF, Alm.del - 2023-24 - Bilag 388: Notat om komitésag vedr. revision af MR-forordningen om overvågning og rapportering af drivhusgasemissioner, fra udenrigsministeren

for greenhouse gases released in ways other than directly into the atmosphere, while

avoiding the double counting of emissions where greenhouse gases not emitted

directly into the atmosphere are re-used within the same installation or in another EU

ETS installations. To avoid undue disruptions for installations affected by these

changes, their application should be delayed until 1 January 2025 to allow sufficient

time for the necessary adaptations.

(23)

When determining the oxidation or conversion factor of a source stream, carbon

monoxide (CO) emitted to the atmosphere should be considered as the molar

equivalent amount of CO

. CO that is otherwise transferred in a product or as a

feedstock is not considered as an emission under the scope of Directive 2003/87/EC.

Article 12(3b) of Directive 2003/87/EC provides that allowances do not need to be

surrendered for greenhouse gases which are considered to have been captured and

utilised in such a way that they have become permanently chemically bound in a

product so that they do not enter the atmosphere under normal use, including any

normal activity taking place after the end of the life of the product. It is necessary to

include a general provision for operators to determine and subtract from their

emissions the amount of CO

considered to be permanently chemically bound in a

product listed in the delegated act adopted pursuant to Article 12(3b) of Directive

2003/87/EC, replacing the provision that allowed to subtract the CO

considered

chemically bound in precipitated calcium carbonate.

Having regard to Article 14(5) of Directive 2003/87/EC, the monitoring, reporting and

verification framework (MRV) of non-CO

effects constitutes a stand-alone, distinct

exercise from carbon pricing. EU research and innovation activities on the impact and

technological solutions of non-CO

aviation effects are ongoing since 1994 and should

continue. Given the uncertainties surrounding the impacts of non-CO

effects, it is key

to start the MRV on non-CO

effects with a view to ensuring scientific validation of

the impacts.

Aircraft operators should monitor the non-CO

aviation effects occurring from 1

January 2025, from the activities performed by aeroplanes equipped with jet engines,

enabling the calculation of a CO

equivalent (CO

(e)) per flight. The aircraft operators

should report those non-CO

aviation effects once a year. However, to facilitate the

start of the MRV for non-CO

effects, in 2025 and 2026, while the reporting may

cover all routes, such reporting shall only be required in respect of routes involving

two aerodromes located in the European Economic Area (EEA), and routes from an

aerodrome located in the EEA departing to Switzerland or to the United Kingdom. In

respect of 2025 and 2026, the reporting of non-CO

aviation effects taking place from

other flights is possible.

In order to minimise administrative burden, aircraft operators should provide a single

monitoring plan for CO

emissions and non-CO

effects.

The calculation of the CO

(e) per flight should be done using the Global Warming

Potential (GWP) metric in three time horizons GWP

, GWP

and GWP

100

, to better

understand those impacts on climate, applying efficacy, as defined in Implementing

Regulation (EU) 2018/2066, and the Commission’s non-CO

aviation effects tracking

system (NEATS), to refine the GWP metric.

In order to calculate CO

(e) for non-CO

effects, the aircraft operators should use a

(e) calculation approach. This approach includes modules for estimating fuel burn

and different emissions (NOx, CO, HC), models calculating CO

(e) using the input

(26)

(27)

(28)

(29)

KEF, Alm.del - 2023-24 - Bilag 388: Notat om komitésag vedr. revision af MR-forordningen om overvågning og rapportering af drivhusgasemissioner, fra udenrigsministeren

data and default values as described in Annex IIIa and Annex IIIb to Implementing

Regulation (EU) 2018/2066, where data gaps occur.

(30)

In order to avoid incentivizing underreporting, conservative default values may be

used. Where data sourced by the aircraft operator is not available, work needs to

continue to enable reporting of measured values, based on the best information

available. Relying on default values decreases the precision of the data.

Acknowledging the importance of providing appropriate tools to limit the

administrative effort of monitoring, reporting and verification of non-CO

aviation

effects, the aircraft operators may rely on the information technology tool, NEATS,

provided by the Commission. The aircraft operators may also opt to use their own or

third-party information technology tools provided that these tools comply with the

provisions of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066, in particular Article 56a, and

provided that the Commission approves them.

The aircraft operators should securely collect, and store monitored data, including

flight details and aircraft information. For this purpose, the aircraft operators may rely

on the Commission IT tool and/or third-party resources, ensuring compliance with

confidentiality rules and accessibility for verification purposes.

In a situation where no data is provided by the aircraft operators NEATS should be

able to calculate the CO

(e) automatically, on the basis of data gathered from external

sources and the default values as described in Annex IIIa and Annex IIIb to

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066.

In the event of the unavailability of IT tools, aircraft operators should monitor

essential flight and aircraft properties information as an interim measure.

In the event of the unavailability of common reference Numerical Weather Prediction

(NWP) model, aircraft operators should use a location-based simplified approach to

calculate the CO

(e) of non-CO

aviation effects as an interim measure.

For the purpose of minimising the administrative burden, small emitters may choose to

use a location-based simplified approach to calculate the CO

(e) of non-CO

aviation

effects.

Based on the feedback on the implementation of the EU ETS, it is necessary to further

facilitate the identification of the operator of an aircraft pursuant to Article 3(o) of

Directive 2003/87/EC and to include an additional step in this process.

In order to align the provisions of Article 28a(4) of Directive 2003/87/EC and this

Regulation concerning the definition of small emitters, this Regulation should be

updated to allow operators meeting the criteria defined in Article 28a(4) of that

Directive, to use the fuel estimation tools implemented by Eurocontrol.

Reporting requirements play a key role in ensuring proper emission monitoring and

enforcement of legislation. In order to streamline those reporting requirements,

appropriate reporting rules should be established for aircraft operators for the use of

different types of alternative aviation fuels, including biofuels, RFNBOs, RCFs and

other fuels eligible under the EU ETS support system established pursuant to Article

3c(6) of Directive 2003/87/EC.

Emission thresholds apply to aircraft operators for their inclusion into the EU ETS or

ICAO’s Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation

(CORSIA). Aircraft operators can be considered small emitters or allowed to use

simplified tools. In accordance with the purpose of the EU ETS and the principles also

KEF, Alm.del - 2023-24 - Bilag 388: Notat om komitésag vedr. revision af MR-forordningen om overvågning og rapportering af drivhusgasemissioner, fra udenrigsministeren

included in ICAO’s CORSIA scheme, the calculation of these emissions thresholds

should not take into account the possible use of fuels with an emission factor of zero.

Therefore, it is appropriate to establish a preliminary emission factor for the purpose

of a calculation of these thresholds.

(41)

In accordance with Directive (EU) 2023/959, the surrendering of allowances under the

new emissions trading for buildings, road transport and additional sectors system will

start in 2028 for the annual emissions of 2027. However, the monitoring and reporting

of emissions under the new emissions trading system will start from 1 January 2025.

Clear monitoring and reporting rules for the emissions trading system for buildings,

road transport and additional sectors should be laid down sufficiently in advance, in

order to facilitate orderly implementation in Member States. In order to reduce

administrative burden, to ensure consistency between monitoring methodologies and

to build on experiences from the existing emission trading system for stationary

installations and aviation, it is appropriate to set up the relevant rules for the new

system.

In order to ensure a robust level of monitoring accuracy and to minimise the

administrative burden for the regulated entities and competent authorities, the scope

factor should be applied after the categorisation of the regulated entity and the fuel

streams. This should allow more accurate monitoring and should avoid unnecessary

changes to the monitoring plans, which reduce the administrative burden for regulated

entities and competent authorities.

In order to limit the administrative burden, it is appropriate to provide specific rules

for regulated entities with low emissions and give flexibility to the competent

authorities in the categorisation of regulated entities.

In order to facilitate the implementation of the new measures, it is appropriate to

provide a time-bound derogation, before 2027, to the application of the scope factor

after the categorisation. It is appropriate for the competent authorities to be able to

qualify regulated entity as regulated entities with low emissions, or to allow the

regulated entity to classify itself and each fuel stream, based on the emissions after the

application of the scope factor, with the exclusion of CO

stemming from biomass,

where it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the competent authority that the

scope factor applied for the classification will also remain to be representative in the

future years.

In order to facilitate verification, it is appropriate that stationary installations operators,

aircraft operators, shipping companies and regulated entities submit the information on

fuels used for activities referred to in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC together with

the annual emissions report. No separate report should be required on the amounts of

fuels acquired and used. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 should therefore

be amended accordingly.

In order to facilitate the orderly and coherent submission of the monitoring plan for

regulated entities to the competent authorities, and considering the provisions that

have already been adopted in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2122

of 17 October 2023, amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066, all

provisions contained in this Regulation relating to the new emissions trading for

buildings, road transport and additional sectors, should apply from 1 July 2024.

Directive 2003/87/EC already provides that the emissions from RFNBOs used for

aircraft operators shall be zero-rated before the entry into force of this revision of the

aviation fuels containing biofuels may choose to monitor the biofuel content and

fossil aviation fuel content as separate source streams if the evidence provided by the

fuel suppliers allows such approach.

Where biofuels are physically mixed with fossil fuels and delivered to the aircraft in

physically identifiable batches, the aircraft operator may carry out analyses in

accordance with Articles 32 to 35 to determine the biomass fraction, on the basis of a

relevant standard and the analytical methods set out in those Articles, provided that

the use of that standard and those analytical methods is approved by the competent

authority. Where the aircraft operator provides evidence to the competent authority

that such analyses would incur unreasonable costs or are technically not feasible, the

aircraft operator may base the estimation of the biofuel content on a material balance

of blending fossil fuels and biofuels purchased. If the biomass fraction was

determined using the mass balance pursuant to Article 30(1) of Directive (EU)

2018/2001, no evidence for unreasonable costs or technical feasibility shall be

required.

Where purchased biofuel batches are not physically delivered to a specific aircraft,

the aircraft operator shall not use analyses to determine the biomass fraction of the

fuels used. The aircraft operator may determine the biomass fraction using purchase

records of biofuel of equivalent energy content.

Article 54a

Specific provisions for eligible aviation fuels

For the purpose of Article 3c(6) of Directive 2003/87/EC, the commercial aircraft

operator shall establish, document, implement and maintain a written procedure in

order to monitor any amounts of neat eligible aviation fuel (in tonnes) used for

subsonic flights, and shall report the amounts of eligible aviation fuels claimed as a

separate memo-item in its annual emission report.

For the purpose of paragraph 1, the aircraft operator shall ensure that any amount of

eligible aviation fuel claimed is certified in accordance with Article 30 of Directive

(EU) 2018/2001 or another certification accepted under Regulation 2023/2405. The

competent authority may allow the aircraft operator to use the data recorded in the

Union database set up in accordance with Article 31a of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 or

a national database set up by the Member State in accordance with Article 31a(5) of

that Directive. In case of subsequent non-compliance regarding the proof of

sustainability of the quantities cancelled in the aforementioned databases, the

Competent Authority shall correct the verified amounts of neat eligible aviation fuels

accordingly.

For mixed aviation fuels, the aircraft operator may either assume the absence of

eligible aviation fuel and apply a default fossil fraction of 100% or determine the

amount of neat eligible aviation fuel in accordance with paragraph 3a.

3a. The aircraft operator shall determine the amount of neat eligible aviation fuel as a

sum of neat alternative fuels eligible under Article 3c(6) of Directive 2003/87/EC as

KEF, Alm.del - 2023-24 - Bilag 388: Notat om komitésag vedr. revision af MR-forordningen om overvågning og rapportering af drivhusgasemissioner, fra udenrigsministeren

determined in accordance with Article 53(1) of this Regulation. The neat eligible

fuels shall be attributed to each flight or aerodrome pair in accordance with

paragraphs 4 or 5.

Where eligible aviation fuels are delivered to the aircraft in physically identifiable

batches, the aircraft operator shall provide evidence to the satisfaction of the

competent authority that the eligible aviation fuel is attributed to the flight

immediately following the fuel uplift of that flight.

Where several subsequent flights are carried out without fuel uplift between these

flights, the aircraft operator shall split the amount of the eligible aviation fuels and

assign it to these flights proportionally to the emissions from those flights calculated

using the preliminary emission factor.

Where eligible aviation fuels cannot be physically attributed at an aerodrome to a

specific flight, the aircraft operator shall attribute the fuel to its flights for which

allowances have to be surrendered in accordance with Article 12(3) of Directive

2003/87/EC and to its flights covered by Article 3c(8) of that Directive

proportionally to the emissions from those flights departing from that aerodrome

calculated using the preliminary emission factor.

For that purpose, the aircraft operator must provide evidence to the satisfaction of the

competent authority that the eligible aviation fuel was delivered to the fuelling

system of the departure aerodrome in the reporting period, or 3 months before the

start, or 3 months after the end, of that reporting period.

For the purpose of paragraphs 4 and 5, the aircraft operator shall provide evidence to

the satisfaction of the competent authority that:

(a)

the total amount of eligible aviation fuel claimed does not exceed the total fuel

usage of that aircraft operator for flights for which allowances have to be

surrendered in accordance with Article 12(3) of Directive 2003/87/EC and for

flights covered by Article 3c(8) of that Directive, originating from the

aerodrome at which the eligible aviation fuel is supplied;

the amount of eligible aviation fuel for flights for which allowances have to be

surrendered in accordance with Article 12(3) of Directive 2003/87/EC and

from flights covered by Article 3c(8) of that Directive does not exceed the total

quantity of eligible aviation fuel purchased from which the total quantity of

eligible aviation fuels sold to third parties is subtracted;

the ratio between eligible aviation fuels and fossil fuels attributed to flights

aggregated per aerodrome pair does not exceed the maximum blending limit

for that fuel type as certified according to a recognised international standard;

there is no double counting of the same quantity of eligible aviation fuel, in

particular that the eligible aviation fuel purchased is not claimed to be used in

an earlier report or by another aircraft operator, or in another carbon pricing

system.

(b)

(c)

(d)

For the purpose of points (a), (b) and (c), any fuel remaining in tanks after a flight and before

an uplift is assumed to be 100% not eligible fuel.

For the purpose of demonstrating compliance with the requirements referred to under point

(d), the aircraft operator may use the data recorded in the Union database set up in accordance

with Article 31a of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 or a national database set up by the Member

State in accordance with Article 31a(5) of that Directive.’;

Determining the RFNBO, RCF or synthetic low-carbon fraction

The aircraft operator shall determine the RFNBO or RCF fraction or synthetic low-

carbon fraction of mixed aviation fuels containing RFNBO, RCF or synthetic low-

carbon fuel. The aircraft operator may either assume the absence of RFNBO, RCF

or synthetic low-carbon fuel and apply a default fossil fraction of 100 %, or

determine a RFNBO or RCF fraction or synthetic low-carbon fraction in accordance

with paragraphs 2 or 3. The aircraft operator shall use a default value of 100%

RFNBO or RCF fraction, or 100% synthetic low-carbon fraction, as applicable, for

neat RFNBO or RCF or neat synthetic low-carbon fuel.

aviation fuel content, as separate source streams if the evidence provided by the fuel

suppliers allows such approach.

Where RFNBO, RCF or synthetic low-carbon fuel are physically mixed with fossil

fuels and delivered to the aircraft in physically identifiable batches, the aircraft

operator shall base the estimation of the RFNBO or RCF content or synthetic low-

carbon content on a mass balance pursuant to Article 30(1) of Directive (EU)

2018/2001, reflecting the blending of fossil fuels and RFNBO, RCF or synthetic low-

carbon fuel purchased.

Where purchased RFNBO, RCF or synthetic low-carbon fuel batches are not

physically delivered to a specific aircraft, the aircraft operator may determine the

RFNBO or RCF fraction or synthetic low-carbon fraction using purchase records of

RFNBO, RCF or synthetic low-carbon fuel of equivalent energy content.

NON-CO

AVIATION EFFECTS TRACKING SYSTEM (NEATS)

NEATS is provided by the Commission to aircraft operators, to accredited verifiers and to

competent authorities for the purpose of facilitating and, to the extent possible, automating

monitoring, reporting and verification of non-CO

aviation effects, in order to minimise any

administrative burden.

NEATS is aligned with the principles established in Article 75(1) of this Regulation and

provides a dedicated and secured user interface per aircraft operator, verifier and competent

authority.

Monitoring:

NEATS streamlines the monitoring process as it incorporates directly, or gives access to,

available third-party collected flight trajectories and weather data allowing to minimise

monitoring by aircraft operators to aircraft properties, as well as to fuel properties, where

needed, as defined in Annex IIIa, Section 1 or to render it fully automatic depending on use of

default values.

NEATS incorporates the CO

(e) calculation approaches as listed in paragraph 4 of Article 56a

of this Regulation and provides a common reference NWP model, where enhanced weather

data is needed (Method C). This results into the calculation of CO

(e) per flight as part of the

monitored data.

Reporting:

NEATS streamlines the reporting exercise referred to in Article 68(5) of this Regulation. The

tool generates automatically the XML table referred to in Annex X, Section 2a(9) to this

Regulation at the end of each reporting year, minimising administrative burden associated

with reporting.

Verification:

NEATS streamlines the verification and cross-checks done respectively by the verifier and the

competent authority. It provides the means to verify a CO

(e) per flight, while protecting

confidential data.

Data storage:

KEF, Alm.del - 2023-24 - Bilag 388: Notat om komitésag vedr. revision af MR-forordningen om overvågning og rapportering af drivhusgasemissioner, fra udenrigsministeren

NEATS allows to store all the data (from aircraft operators and from third parties), securely

encoding and protecting from release confidential data, where such data is uploaded by the

aircraft operator on NEATS, as long as it is identified as confidential by the aircraft operator.

Transparency:

NEATS relies on state-of-art models to calculate the CO

(e) for non-CO

effects. Aircraft

operators may develop their own or use third-party tools, provided they comply with the

requirements laid down in this Annex.

NEATS shall feed into a public website summarising the non-confidential data and CO

(e)

per flight and per aircraft operator.

FUEL BURN AND EMISSION ESTIMATION MODULES FOR NON-CO

AVIATION EFFECTS

Fuel burn module:

The fuel burn module is based on a kinetic approach to aircraft performance modelling, which

enables to accurately predict aircraft trajectories and the associated fuel consumption over the

entire operation flight envelope and in all phases of a flight. The model processes the

theoretical fundamentals to compute aircraft performance parameters, including information

on drag, lift, weight, thrust, fuel consumption, as well as the speeds for the climb, cruise, and

descent phases of an aircraft, assuming normal aircraft operations. In addition, aircraft-

specific coefficients are key data inputs for the computation of the flight trajectory planning

of specific aircraft types.

Emission-estimation module:

The emission-estimation module enables to compute aircraft engine emissions of NOx, HC,

and CO by means of correlation equations without proprietary airplane and engine

performance models along with proprietary engine emissions characterisations. This module

applies exhaust emission indices (EIs) from the ICAO engine type certification under

predefined reference conditions on the ground and estimates the corresponding EIs during

flight conditions assuming international standard atmosphere (ISA) conditions using

correction factors for differences in the ISA conditions of temperature, pressure and

humidity.

(e) CALCULATION MODELS FOR NON-CO

AVIATION EFFECTS

General criteria:

In the CO

(e) calculation models, the aircraft operator shall consider the climate effects of all

non-CO

agents on a per flight basis including flight trajectories (flight plan and flown flight

trajectories), as well as aircraft and flight fuel properties. The emissions from each flight shall

be accounted for as pulse emissions. When applying the CO

(e) calculation models, flight

trajectory-dependent aircraft emission data shall be used to calculate all the following

elements:

(a)

(b)

composition changes;

temporal evolution of radiative forcing caused by composition changes;

KEF, Alm.del - 2023-24 - Bilag 388: Notat om komitésag vedr. revision af MR-forordningen om overvågning og rapportering af drivhusgasemissioner, fra udenrigsministeren

(c)

near surface temperature changes caused by flight trajectory-dependent

aircraft emissions.

Administrative and computational efforts shall be kept low to ensure feasibility for all

stakeholders. The model(s) shall be transparent and suitable for operational use.

Depending on the model, there are two types of requirement lists:

Method C:

For the weather-based approach, detailed climate effects of all aircraft non-CO

emissions at a

specific location and time shall be considered taking into account current weather information

to calculate climate-optimised four-dimensional trajectories for individual flight planning. To

allow detailed accounting of the climate effects with regards to current atmospheric

conditions, different aircraft, propulsion types, as well as fuel properties shall explicitly be

considered in the models. Estimates for the formation, life cycle and contrail climate effects

for single flights as well as the residence times for the emitted H

O and NO

and their impact

on the atmospheric composition shall be included. For being able to output advanced

information for use in daily flight planning, the model(s) shall be computationally efficient.

Each aircraft operators shall monitor the following data per flight:

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

(f)

Method D:

For the location-based simplified approach, the aircraft operator shall use climate response

model(s) to estimate the impact of all non-CO2 effects per flight on a climatological basis.

The tool(s) shall be used to assess the climate benefit of general routing options, while

accounting for general differences in aircraft, propulsion types and fuel properties through

their physical parameterisations. The CO2(e) calculated with the location-based simplified

approach shall average out any large deviations for individual flights over a longer period of

time. The model(s) should ensure reduced efforts in data need, computation, and handling, as

compared to the model(s) for the weather-based approach.

By way of derogation of Method C, small emitters, as defined in Article 55(1) of this

Regulation, may monitor the following data per flight:

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

(f)

flight information;

flight trajectory, defined by the flown flight trajectory;

basic weather data;

aircraft properties;

(optional) aircraft performance along the flight information;

(optional) flight fuel properties.

flight information;

flight trajectory, defined at the minimum, as the latest flight plan;

enhanced weather data;

aircraft properties;

(optional) aircraft performance information. Planned fuel flow is to be used

preferentially, in order to align with the latest flight plan data available;

flight fuel properties.

KEF, Alm.del - 2023-24 - Bilag 388: Notat om komitésag vedr. revision af MR-forordningen om overvågning og rapportering af drivhusgasemissioner, fra udenrigsministeren

USE OF DEFAULT VALUES FOR NON-CO

AVIATION EFFECTS

Subject to further scrutiny by the competent authority and the Commission, the use of default

values shall always result in higher CO

(e) per flight compared to what can be obtained with

monitored data.

Flight trajectory:

(a)

For the purpose of applying Method C, the latest flight plan shall be provided.

If the RTFM, or equivalent, is not available, the FTFM, or equivalent shall be

used as default. In such case, where data by time stamp is not available, it can

be calculated by linear interpolation of measured data stemming from the two

measurement times closest before and after the time stamp under consideration,

within the same flight phase, provided it results in homogenous flight trajectory

for the given flight phase, especially the cruise phase.

For the purpose of applying Method D:

(i)

(ii)

the flown flight trajectory shall always be provided. If the CTFM, or

equivalent, is not available, the RTFM or FTFM can be used.

where data by time stamp is not available, it can be calculated by linear

interpolation of measured data stemming from the two measurement

times closest before and after the time stamp under consideration, within

the same flight phase, provided it results in homogenous flight trajectory

for the given flight phase, especially the cruise phase.

(b)

Aircraft properties:

(a)

Engine identifier: where no engine identifier or equivalent, is provided,

conservative default values per aircraft type, as defined in Annex IIIb to this

Regulation, shall be used.

(b)

Aircraft mass: if the aircraft mass is not provided, the aircraft operator can

simulate the aircraft mass by using the take-off mass. If neither the aircraft mass, nor

the take-off mass are available, the load factor can be used to approximate the take-off

mass. If no load factor is provided, a default value of 1 is used.

Aircraft performance:

Fuel flow: if the fuel flow is not provided from the flight data recorder equipment, the aircraft

operator can use other means to derive the fuel flow, in line with Annex IIIa, Section 1 to this

Regulation defining fuel flow, taking into account the thrust which depends on the aircraft’s

mass and true airspeed.

Flight fuel properties:

If no flight fuel properties are provided, the upper limits of Jet A-1 fuel according to the

ASTM Standard Specification for Aviation Turbine Fuels, are assumed:

(a)

(b)

(c)

Aromatic content: 25% volume;

Sulphur: 0.3% mass;

Naphthalene: 3.0% volume.

Quantification of transferred and emitted CO2 amounts

B.1. Installation level quantification

Each operator shall calculate the emissions by taking into account the potential CO

emissions

from all emission relevant processes at the installation, as well as the amount of CO

captured

and transferred to the CO

infrastructure, using the following formula:

capture installation

= T

input

+ E

without capture

– T

for storage

Where:

capture installation

= Total greenhouse gas emissions of the capture installation;

input

= Amount of CO

transferred to the capture installation, determined either based on one

or more source streams as in a mass balance methodology in accordance with Article 25 or

based on a measurement-based methodology in accordance with Article 40 to 46 and Article

49 of this Regulation.

without capture

= Emissions of the installation assuming the CO

were not captured, meaning the

sum of the emissions from all other activities at the installation, monitored in accordance with

relevant sections of Annex IV, including Method B in Section 22 of Annex IV to this

Regulation for any functionally connected ancillary facilities;

for storage

= Amount of CO

transferred to a CO

transport infrastructure or a storage site,

determined either based on one or more source streams as in a mass balance methodology in

accordance with Article 25 or based on a measurement-based methodology in accordance

with Article 40 to 46 and Article 49 of this Regulation.

In cases where CO

capture is carried out by the same installation as the one from which the

captured CO

originates, the operator shall use zero for T

input

In cases of stand-alone capture installations, the operators of these installations shall take into

consideration the following:

(a) the operator shall consider E

without capture

to represent the amount of emissions that occur

from other sources than the CO

transferred to the installation for capture. The operator shall

determine those emissions in accordance with this Regulation;

(b) by way of derogation from the monitoring methodology described in this section, the

operator may monitor the emissions of the installation by using Method B as described in

Section 22 of Annex IV to this Regulation.

In the case of stand-alone capture installations, the operator of the installation transferring

to the capture installation shall deduct the amount T

input

from the emissions of its

installation based either as one or more source streams as in a mass balance methodology in

accordance with Article 25 or based on a measurement-based methodology in accordance

with Article 49 of this Regulation.

‘ 22. Determination of greenhouse gas emissions from the transport of CO2 for

geological storage in a storage site permitted under Directive 2009/31/EC

Scope

The boundaries for monitoring and reporting emissions from CO

transport shall be laid down

in the CO

transport infrastructure’s greenhouse gas emissions permit, including all ancillary

facilities functionally connected to the transport infrastructure, such as CO

intermediate

storage, booster, liquefaction, gasification, purification stations or heaters. Each transport

infrastructure shall have a minimum of one start point and one end point, each connected to

other installations or CO

transport infrastructure carrying out one or more of the activities:

capture, transport or geological storage of CO

. Start and end points may be set at bifurcations

of the transport infrastructure and at cross national borders. Start and end points as well as the

installations or CO

transport infrastructure they are connecting to, shall be laid down in the

greenhouse gas emissions permit.

Each operator of a CO

transport infrastructure shall consider at least the following potential

emission sources for CO

emissions: combustion and other processes at installations

functionally connected to the transport infrastructure including booster stations and

liquefaction stations; combustion units, including internal combustion units in CO

transport

vehicles, to the extent emissions are not subject to surrender obligations related to activities

listed in Annexes I or III to Directive 2003/87/EC in that same reporting year; fugitive

emissions from the transport infrastructure; vented emissions from the transport

infrastructure; and emissions from leakage incidents in the transport infrastructure.

transported for purposes other than for geological storage in a storage site permitted

under Directive 2009/31/EC shall not be part of the boundaries for monitoring and reporting

emissions by the CO

transport infrastructure. In cases where the same infrastructure is used

for the transport of CO

for multiple purposes, including for geological storage in a storage

site permitted under Directive 2009/31/EC, in a manner where the different consignments

cannot be distinguished, the operator of a CO

transport infrastructure shall indicate this in the

greenhouse gas emissions permit and establish a method for recording and documenting the

volumes of CO

transported for purposes other for geological storage in a storage site

permitted under Directive 2009/31/EC. The operator of a CO

transport infrastructure shall

monitor emissions resulting from the total volume of CO

transported but shall report as

emitted the share of the emissions corresponding to the volume of CO

transported for

geological storage in a storage site permitted under Directive 2009/31/EC divided by total

volume of CO

transported.

Quantification Methodologies for CO

The CO

transport infrastructure operator shall determine emissions using one of the

following methods:

KEF, Alm.del - 2023-24 - Bilag 388: Notat om komitésag vedr. revision af MR-forordningen om overvågning og rapportering af drivhusgasemissioner, fra udenrigsministeren

(a) Method A (overall mass balance of all input and output streams) set out in subsection

B.1;

(b)Method B (monitoring of emission sources individually) set out in subsection B.2.

The operator shall apply Method B unless the operator can demonstrate to the competent

authority that the application of Method A will lead to more reliable results with lower

uncertainty of the overall emissions, using best available technology and knowledge at the

time of the application for the greenhouse gas emissions permit and approval of the

monitoring plan, without incurring unreasonable costs. Where Method B is applied, each

operator shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the competent authority that the overall

uncertainty for the annual level of greenhouse gas emissions for the operator’s transport

infrastructure does not exceed 7,5 %.

The operator of a CO

transport infrastructure using Method B shall not add CO

received

from another installation or CO

transport infrastructure permitted in accordance with

Directive 2003/87/EC to its calculated level of emissions, and shall not subtract from its

calculated level of emissions any CO

transferred to another installation or CO

transport

infrastructure permitted in accordance with Directive 2003/87/EC.

Each operator of a CO

transport infrastructure shall use Method A for the validation of the

results of Method B at least once annually. For that validation, the operator may use lower

tiers for the application of Method A.
