ETS, Carbon Markets and Sustainable Aviation: Compliance, Strategy, and Opportunities


All course times are listed in Central European Time

This course offers a comprehensive understanding of the EU ETS and UK ETS regulatory frameworks, covering their scope, design, and evolving legislative landscape. Participants will stay updated with current developments, including amendments under the Fit-for-55 package and changes in sectoral applicability.

The course also delves into the principles and practices of monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) in line with the Monitoring and Reporting Regulation (MRR). Crucially, it focuses on sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and their role in decarbonising aviation. Participants will understand SAF treatment within the EU and UK ETS and compare SAF treatment under CORSIA versus the EU and UK ETS.
