91.10.8 Calculation of CO2 emissions from aeroplane fuel use

 

(1)        An aeroplane operator shall—

(a) apply a fuel density value to calculate fuel mass where an amount of fuel uplift is determined in units of volume;
(b) record fuel density which may be an actual or a standard value of 0.8 kg per litre that is used for operational and safety reasons such as in an operational, flight or technical log; and
(c) detail a procedure for informing the use of actual or standard density in an EMP along with a reference to a relevant aeroplane operator documentation.

 

(2) An aeroplane operator using a fuel use monitoring method shall determine CO2 emissions from international flights, using the following equation:

 

91.08.1 (2)

 

Where:

 

CO2 = CO2 emissions (in tonnes);
Mf     = Mass of fuel f used (in tonnes); and
FCFf  = Fuel conversion factor of given fuel f, equal to 3.16 (in kg CO2/kg fuel) for Jet-A fuel and 3.10 (in kg CO2/kg fuel) for AvGas or Jet-B fuel.
