## Part X — Greenhouse Gas Emissions from International Aviation — CORSIA (continued)

### Division III — Offsetting (continued)

#### Calculation of Final Offsetting Obligations

•  (1) The Minister must calculate, for each private operator and air operator, the final amount of CO2 emissions that that operator is required to offset for a given compliance period, rounded up to the nearest tonne, using the following formula:

$\left({\mathrm{OR}}_{1,c}+{\mathrm{OR}}_{2,c}+{\mathrm{OR}}_{3,c}\right)–\left({\mathrm{ER}}_{1,c}+{\mathrm{ER}}_{2,c}+{\mathrm{ER}}_{3,c}\right)$

where

ORy,c
is the amount of CO2 emissions that the operator is required to offset for the given calendar year y (where y = 1, 2 or 3) of the compliance period c, calculated in accordance with section 1000.22; and
ERy,c
is the emissions reduction claimed resulting from the use of CORSIA eligible fuels in the given calendar year y (where y = 1, 2 or 3) of the compliance period c, calculated in accordance with section 1000.23.
• (2) If the amount of CO2 emissions calculated in accordance with subsection (1) is a negative amount for a given compliance period, that amount cannot be used to reduce the private operator’s or air operator’s emissions-offsetting obligations for a subsequent compliance period.

• (i) subsection 1020.30(1) of the CORSIA Standard, and

• (ii) subsection 1020.30(2) of the CORSIA Standard, if an emissions reduction resulting from the use of CORSIA eligible fuel is being claimed; and

• (b) the verification report associated with the report referred to in paragraph (a) containing the information referred to in paragraph 1020.32(3)(j) of the CORSIA Standard.

• (2) The private operator or air operator must ensure that the verification body submits to the Minister, with the operator’s prior authorization, the reports referred to in subsection (1) no later than April 30 of the calendar year following the calendar year during which the monitoring of emissions was carried out.

• (3) Despite subsections (1) and (2), the verified emissions report and associated verification report for the year 2020 must contain the information referred to in, and be submitted in accordance with, section 1000.20, as it read before January 1, 2021.

#### Verified Emissions Unit Cancellation Report

•  (1) A private operator or air operator must submit to the Minister, for a given compliance period,

• (a) a verified emissions unit cancellation report containing the information referred to in subsections 1020.30(3) to (5) of the CORSIA Standard; and

• (2) The private operator or air operator must ensure that the verification of the emissions report and the emissions unit cancellation report is conducted in accordance with the requirements set out in subsection 1020.32(3) of the CORSIA Standard.

#### Parent Company and Subsidiaries

A private operator or air operator and one or more other private operators or air operators may consolidate their emissions monitoring plans, verified emissions reports, verified emissions unit cancellation reports and associated verification reports if

• (b) the consolidated emissions monitoring plan establishes that the subsidiary is wholly owned.

#### Publication
