The International Air Transport Association has launched a new alliance aimed at increasing the supply of aviation carbon credits before stricter international emissions rules take effect in 2027. The Supporting Alliance for CORSIA EEU Supply brings together airlines, governments, and carbon market stakeholders to make 225 to 250 million CORSIA Eligible Emissions Units available by spring 2027. The group focuses on clearing bottlenecks that currently slow the transfer and use of credits under the global aviation emissions framework. IATA estimates CORSIA could generate between 4 and 5 billion dollars in climate finance during its first phase, with the figure potentially reaching 100 billion dollars by 2035 depending on carbon prices. The alliance will provide free implementation support to countries requesting help with reporting processes and authorization of domestic emissions units. More than 30 entities joined at launch, including major airlines like Air France-KLM, Lufthansa Group, Qatar Airways, and Singapore Airlines.
