through London-based <strong>Supercritical<\/strong> after reviewing more than 200 projects worldwide that had been assessed against a 118-point scientific vetting framework for additionality, permanence, measurability and operational readiness. The portfolio consists of six suppliers across Brazil, Bolivia, Namibia and India, spanning both biochar and enhanced rock weathering. The Boeing portfolio includes Exomad Green (Bolivia), Ground Up (India), NetZero (Brazil), InPlanet (Brazil), Varaha (India) and PlanBoo (Namibia). Boeing will apply carbon removal credits to address its residual Scope 3 \u2013 category 6 emissions associated with business travel.<br><br><strong>Eurocontrol<\/strong> and the <strong>European Commission<\/strong> have released an enhanced version of their <a href=\"https:\/\/climate.ec.europa.eu\/news-other-reads\/news\/eurocontrol-and-european-commission-release-enhanced-neats-platform-improve-monitoring-non-co2-2026-04-29_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NEATS<\/a> platform to help improve monitoring of the non-CO2 climate impacts of aviation. The platform is designed to support the implementation of the EU Emissions Trading System by making it possible to track non-CO2 aviation effects, including contrails and nitrogen oxides (NOx). With this latest release, the third, the platform makes it possible for aircraft operators, accredited verifiers and competent authorities to complete the entire MRV workflow directly within a single, integrated system. New functionalities include end-to-end MRV workflow within the platform; streamlined annual reporting capabilities; integration of additional data sources; and selection of MRV scope and calculation method.<br><br>The Greenpeace-funded investigative journal <strong>Unearthed<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/unearthed.greenpeace.org\/2026\/04\/10\/uk-green-jet-fuel-amazon-deforestation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">claims<\/a> a major US producer and supplier of SAF to the UK aviation market has sourced beef fat, or tallow, feedstock that is linked to illegal Amazon deforestation. Unearthed says <strong>Diamond Green Diesel<\/strong> (DGD) has sent regular shipments of its SAF to the UK since January 2025 and says DGD imports tallow from a Brazilian rendering factory that has been supplied by a slaughterhouse operator linked in multiple court cases to illegal deforestation. The journal says there is no suggestion DGD was aware of deforestation at farm level but that it indicates a traceability gap in the feedstock supply chain.<br><br>The International Air Transport Association (<strong>IATA<\/strong>) has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/we-have-just-launched-a-new-deferred-payment-share-7457779209218932736-HmvG\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">launched<\/a> a new Deferred Payment Platform on the IATA Aviation Carbon Exchange in partnership with <strong>Xpansiv<\/strong> and <strong>Mercuria<\/strong>. This will provide airlines with more flexibility and security in meeting their CORSIA obligations, says IATA. Airlines will now be able to purchase CORSIA Eligible Emissions Units (EEUs) at an agreed price and defer payment at a later date, as far out as December 2027. Credits will be transferred on the day of sale and held in ACE\/Xpansiv escrow services until payment.<br><br>UK electric aviation smart charging startup <strong>Aerovolt<\/strong> has secured its first business aviation customers \u2013 <strong>Oxygen Aviation<\/strong>, <strong>Oriens Aviation<\/strong>, <strong>SaxonAir<\/strong> and <strong>AV8JET<\/strong> \u2013 for its new <a href=\"https:\/\/carbon.aerovolt.co.uk\/knowledge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Electric Book &amp; Claim<\/a> (EBC) product that is designed to replicate the carbon accounting model used in sustainable aviation fuel. The customers will adopt EBC as part of their ESG strategies.

Through Aerovolt\u2019s charging infrastructure and network platform, purchasers can track flight hours, energy use and charging activity in an integrated, end-to-end system.<br><br>The boom in ultra-cheap online shopping is not only putting growing pressure on the global air cargo system, but also raises urgent questions about its environmental impact, <a href=\"https:\/\/ciltuk.org.uk\/news\/are-shoppers-driving-unsustainable-pressure-on-air-cargo-networks-through-ultra-cheap-online-buying\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to<\/a> the <strong>Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport UK<\/strong> (CILT UK). With air freight among the most carbon-intensive forms of transport, it questions whether consumers should be paying more to help offset the environmental cost of fast, low-value deliveries. Instead of shipping goods in bulk, overseas companies are sending millions of low-cost items by air to keep delivery fast, says CILT UK, which risks undermining wider aviation sustainability goals and efforts to reach net zero.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":8755,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GreenAir-News-Extra-Rev-with-aircraft-JPG.jpg",2500,1667,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GreenAir-News-Extra-Rev-with-aircraft-JPG-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GreenAir-News-Extra-Rev-with-aircraft-JPG-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GreenAir-News-Extra-Rev-with-aircraft-JPG-768x512.jpg",640,427,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GreenAir-News-Extra-Rev-with-aircraft-JPG-1024x683.jpg",640,427,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GreenAir-News-Extra-Rev-with-aircraft-JPG-1536x1024.jpg",1536,1024,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GreenAir-News-Extra-Rev-with-aircraft-JPG-2048x1366.jpg",2048,1366,true],"newsever-slider-full":["https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GreenAir-News-Extra-Rev-with-aircraft-JPG-1280x845.jpg",1280,845,true],"newsever-featured":["https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GreenAir-News-Extra-Rev-with-aircraft-JPG-1024x683.jpg",1024,683,true],"newsever-medium":["https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GreenAir-News-Extra-Rev-with-aircraft-JPG-720x475.jpg",720,475,true],"mailchimp":["https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GreenAir-News-Extra-Rev-with-aircraft-JPG-560x373.jpg",560,373,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"GreenAir Editorial","author_link":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/?author=18"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/?cat=1\" rel=\"category\">Uncategorized<\/a>","tag_info":"Uncategorized","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8994"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8994\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8995,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8994\/revisions\/8995"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenairnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
