Paragraph 11 of the Assembly Resolution A40-19 addresses the distribution of the total amount of CO2 emissions to be offset in a given year among individual aeroplane operators. Offsetting requirements will be calculated as follows:
a) From 2021 through 2029 a 100 per cent sectoral approach (and 0 per cent individual approach) will be applied. This applies to the pilot phase, the first phase, and the first compliance period of the second phase.
b) During the second compliance period of the second phase (2030 through 2032) at least 20 per cent of offsetting requirements would be calculated according to the “individual approach”. From 2033 to 2035, at least 70 per cent of offsetting requirements would be calculated according to the “individual approach”.
For each compliance period the State will sum up the offsetting requirements for each year within that compliance period, and the result will be the operator’s total offsetting requirement for that compliance period. The figure below describes the calculation of an aeroplane operator’s offsetting requirements.
