IMPACT ON SUSTAINABLE AVIATION E.V. (IMPACT), the non-profit association of 35+ global financial institutions focused on assisting airlines and lessors’ decarbonization plans, announces the launch of its first Aviation Climate Stocktake Forum (the “IMPACT Forum”) on December 2nd & 3rd, 2024 in London, co-hosted by WTW, a leading global advisory, broking and solutions company.

The non-profit association Impact on Sustainable Aviation e.V. (IMPACT) is pleased to welcome PACE as a new member further enhancing the breadth of its stakeholder network.

The RefuelEU Aviation Initiative ("ReFuelEU") will make the blending of Sustainable Aviation Fuel ("SAF") mandatory for the European aviation industry from 2025 via a quota system and a sub-quota for power-based fuel from 2030. This obligation is supported by the threat of penalties for airlines and fuel suppliers in the event of non-compliance. This law provides a compelling but evidently not yet sufficient incentive to make the necessary investments in corresponding projects for the market ramp-up required to comply with the quotas. In fact, in view of the Review Clause in Art. 17 of the RefuelEU, there is considerable uncertainty among investors regarding the stability of the quota law. The main concern is that the regime of penalties and quotas could be adjusted due to the de facto impossibility of achieving quotas. In this respect, the primary objective of policymakers should be to maintain confidence in the handling of the Review Clause pursuant to Art. 17 RefuelEU. 

impact on sustainable aviation e.V. (“impact”), a leading non-profit organization dedicated to advancing sustainability in the aviation industry, announces changes to its Board of Directors. These changes are set to further strengthen impact’s mission and enhance its strategic direction towards promoting sustainable practices in aviation.

In this joint report, Rob Neale, Chief Product Officer at PACE, and Eduardo Mariz, Senior Analyst and Sustainability Lead at Ishka, examine major lessor portfolios using Impact’s* decarbonisation milestone methodology. Ulrike Ziegler, president of Impact, Philipp Goedeking, co-head of Impact's science workstream and board member of Impact, and Thomas Conlon, co-head of Impact’s science workstream, also contributed to this report. 

Description of how decoupling - which is part of the three essential KPIs postulated by impact - can be translated into a milestone concept to assess an airline's decarbonization progress.

Quality issues across major project types, reductions widely vary: e.g. cookstoves only 11%, avoided deforestation 25%, industrial gas projects 16-68%, wind power and improved forest management no significant emissions reduction.
