CORSIA Partnership Proposal — Technology-Enhanced Carbon Integrity

Executive Summary

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) represents a critical advancement in the global effort to mitigate the environmental impact of international aviation. With the mandatory implementation set for 2027, CORSIA will require robust systems for monitoring, reporting, and verifying (MRV) CO2 emissions across the aviation sector. This partnership proposal outlines a strategic collaboration between CORSIA and DaedArch Corporation, leveraging our sensor-based MRV platform to enhance carbon credit integrity, ensure compliance with CORSIA’s eligibility criteria, and support the overarching goals of sustainable aviation.

DaedArch’s innovative technology provides continuous, real-time monitoring of carbon emissions, automated reporting capabilities, and a transparent verification framework that aligns with CORSIA’s sustainability criteria. By integrating our platform into CORSIA’s operational framework, we can jointly address the challenges of accurate emissions reporting and verification, ultimately enhancing the credibility of carbon markets and supporting the aviation industry's transition to a low-carbon future.

Pilot Program

Objectives

The pilot program aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of DaedArch’s MRV platform in real-world aviation operations, assess its compliance with CORSIA’s monitoring and reporting requirements, and gather data to refine the technology further.

Scope

• Participants: Select a diverse group of aviation operators, including passenger airlines, cargo carriers, and private aviation companies.
• Duration: The pilot program will span 12 months, commencing with a three-month implementation phase followed by nine months of data collection and analysis.

Implementation Steps

1. Selection of Participants: Collaborate with CORSIA to identify suitable aviation operators for the pilot program.
2. Platform Customization: Tailor the MRV platform to specific operational parameters and emissions sources for each participant.
3. Training and Onboarding: Conduct comprehensive training sessions for operators on utilizing the MRV platform.
4. Data Collection: Implement continuous monitoring to collect emissions data over the pilot program duration.
5. Analysis and Reporting: Analyze collected data to assess compliance with CORSIA requirements, and generate reports for stakeholders.

Expected Outcomes

• Validation of the MRV platform’s effectiveness in accurately monitoring and reporting CO2 emissions.
• Identification of any operational challenges and areas for improvement.
• Development of best practices for integrating MRV technology into aviation operations.
