Moving Beyond Carbon: Advancing Aviation Contrail Accounting and Reporting
RMI piloted three methodologies for accounting for aviation contrails in corporate travel, finding that a 'bottom-up' flight-specific approach is significantly more accurate than standard static multipliers. The pilots revealed that roughly 2% of flights cause 80% of contrail impacts, with higher risks during winter and nighttime. The report advocates for data-driven travel policies and alignment with emerging regulations, such as the EU's MRV framework, to reduce the total climate impact of aviation.
