The EU carbon emission increase in the cost of new regulatio

Until August 22 due to be released until the list of all member countries to manage the details of airlines, scheduled for August 31 airlines required to submit test report of the uniform limit of carbon also will be delegated to the States and has been postponed. This means that China Airlines has more time to study and response, but from the present situation, the domestic airline industry due to the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (hereinafter referred to as "ETS") arising from the new cost will be inevitable.

China Eastern Airlines Company Limited (China Eastern Airlines Corporation Limited, referred to as "Eastern"), revealed that, the company has set up a special team response to the matter. The International Air Transport Association, Assistant Director of Aviation Department of the Environment Quentin Browell yesterday to accept the "Shanghai Securities News," called, should develop a unified aviation industry in the global carbon emissions trading system, rather than to individual developing countries in the region, he also suggested that the functions should be International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to serve as.

Prior to that, according to EU aviation emissions released by the preliminary provisions of the law, starting in 2012, the airline acquired emission quotas will be reduced year by year, such as January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012, the availability of emission quotas for airlines is equivalent to the historical aviation emissions (defined as three years from 2004 to 2006 the average emissions from the middle-aged) and 97%. From January 1, 2013, the emission quota is equivalent to 95% of the history of aviation emissions. In the initial stages of the quota system, 85% of the emission quotas will be distributed free of charge to the airlines, the remaining 15% will be paid through the auction payment. If airlines do not have August 31 to submit carbon emissions testing program, you not eligible for 85% of the free quota.

Among them, China (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions) a total of 33 air carriers were included in this system, both Air China, China Eastern, China Southern Airlines for such a large state-owned airline, but also there are spring and autumn, both Yao and other air carriers.

Although the response time has been extended, but the domestic airlines will face new costs have been inevitable. According to the International Air Transport Association estimates that if the ETS implementation of the first year will allow the cost of the global aviation industry, an increase of 35 billion euros, and this figure will increase every year. For a fast-growing airlines, if in 2005, there were 15 new aircraft to its fleet in 2012 increased to 30 by 2020, increased to more than 60 aircraft, the overall cost of carbon emissions will be up to 2.3 million euros.

Prior to CAAC (Civil Aviation Administration of China, referred to as "CAA") the relevant person told the media that Chinese airlines in emissions due to too much impact on large, especially the Air and other airlines often fly to Europe operating costs will be increased dramatically.

"At present, the company has established a special team to deal with." Luo Zhuping yesterday, China Eastern Airlines Deputy General Manager to accept the "Shanghai Securities News" interview revealed, both to reduce costs as much as possible, but also for its European routes able to meet the EU standards. According to China Eastern Airlines, another figure, China Eastern Airlines in recent years has been promoting energy-saving emission reduction work. 2007 Eastern consumption of aviation fuel 2.5508 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions of 8.11115 million tons; in 2008 the company China Aviation Oil consumption fell to 2.4098 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions reduced to 7.6633 million tons. The company's goal is to have the unit GDP energy consumption by 2010, Bibi in 2005 to reduce by 20%.

For the new EU rules are being prepared to deal with the airlines, Quentin propose first to comply with the rules and in accordance with the provisions of the quota should be applied for, and secondly, should be greater use of fuel-efficient models to reduce carbon emissions
