Aither ensures that client projects align with the stringent requirements set by regulatory frameworks such as CORSIA, Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement, and Carbon Tax Schemes. Each of these markets has specific rules regarding project eligibility, methodologies for calculating emission reductions, and requirements for monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV).
In order to support the aviation industry in its goal for carbon neutral growth, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) instituted the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation. ICAO plans to apply the program to those emissions that can’t be avoided through operational waste elimination and the use of sustainable technologies or fuels.
Countries rely on Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement as a key mechanism to achieve their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) through the International Transfer of Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs). This allows for the exchange of carbon credits from emissions-reducing projects, such as improved cookstoves or e-mobility initiatives. Strict accounting rules ensure that emissions reductions are counted only once, preventing double counting.
Our goal is to develop projects focused on generating offsets, specifically carbon credits, each representing one metric ton of CO₂.
Our VCM team is ready to help you offset emissions through globally based offsetting projects and provide expert services in advisory, consultations, and project development.
