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)
