There are now 82 countries which will take part in the first, voluntary, phase of CORSIA and it is anticipated that about 80% of the growth in international aviation CO2 will be covered by the program from the end of this year.

2021, Intercontinental Exchange, Inc.
(
ICE ) hosted the scheme s first
emission allowance auctions on behalf of the UK government.
The benefits of the scheme are twofold. Not only does it provide
continuity from the UK s participation in the EU s
equivalent emission trading scheme (the
EU
ETS ), but it also focuses efforts to reach the
UK s
goal of reducing all greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by
