CORSIA & Regional Policy

Navigate the policy landscape that's driving SAF adoption — from ICAO's global CORSIA framework to the specific mandates being implemented across Asia-Pacific.

What you will cover

  • CORSIA framework: history, rationale, and the three phases — Pilot (2024–2026), First Phase (2027–2035), Second Phase (2036+)

  • CORSIA compliance mechanics: baseline emissions calculations, growth factors, eligible fuels (CEFs), eligible emissions units (CEUs)

  • Approved sustainability certification schemes under CORSIA: RSB, ISCC, and others — what they certify and how

  • Lifecycle analysis methodology: CORSIA default values vs. actual values, well-to-wake calculations, and methodological choices that matter

  • Monitoring, Reporting & Verification (MRV): operator obligations, reporting cycles, verification requirements

  • EU ReFuelEU Aviation: 2% by 2025 → 6% by 2030 → 70% by 2050, synthetic fuel sub-quotas, and the physical supply requirement (no Book & Claim)

  • Singapore: 1% SAF mandate pathway, Sustainable Air Hub strategy, CAAS implementation approach, and Changi Airport logistics

  • Japan: 10% SAF target by 2030, METI-led approach, ACT FOR SKY airline consortium, domestic production development

  • South Korea: blending mandate roadmap, K-taxonomy alignment, and green finance integration

  • India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia: emerging mandates, feedstock strategies, and regulatory positioning

  • Policy interaction: how CORSIA, EU ETS, and national mandates interact — avoiding double regulation and double counting

  • Compliance planning for multi-jurisdiction operations: airlines flying routes subject to multiple overlapping frameworks

Learning Outcomes

  • Explain CORSIA's framework, phases, scope, and compliance mechanisms in detail

  • Compare SAF mandates across EU, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and other Asia-Pacific jurisdictions

  • Assess how international and national policies interact and affect SAF market development in specific country contexts

  • Design key parameters for a national SAF mandate (blend rate, timeline, eligible pathways, enforcement, support measures)
