Monitoring plans for aviation

All aircraft operators covered by the EU ETS are required to have an approved monitoring plan for annual emissions by January 1st 2010. Operators are to submit their monitoring plans to: luftfart@ens.dk

Following the changes to the EU ETS directive in 2009, new rules and regulations have come into force by January 1st 2013 for Phase III of the EU CO₂ trading scheme 2013-20.

Monitoring plans are to be delivered in the standard template from the European Commission 'Template for annual emissions monitoring plan'.

NB. Please submit your monitoring plans in excel format in an e-mail signed with digital signature. If you, as a non-DK operator, don't have a digital signature, you must sign the plans manually, scan them and mail them in PDF format.

As a help in filling out the templates for monitoring plans, the following documents can be downloaded from the European Commission’s website:

For small emitters (<25.000 t CO₂)

Following the Directive small aircraft operators emitting less than 25.000 tonnes of CO₂ pr. year or operating less than 243 flights in 3 consecutive periods of 4 months may use a simplified fuel consumption estimation tool, that allows aircraft operators to estimate their fuel consumption on a flight by flight basis. More information and the small emitters tool can be downloaded from Eurocontrols website.
