Airports face a regulatory requirement to report Scope 3 emissions, most significant of which arise from their air service network. Our Scope 3 Emissions Platform provides the precise data and insights needed to understand the challenge.

For the first time, actual air traffic data, gathered through ground and satellite-based ADS-B technology, is seamlessly integrated with RDC's proven fuel burn models, and globally recognised best practices in emissions reporting. This innovative approach provides in-depth, flight-level scope 3 emissions analysis, empowering airports to:

  • Track - Monitor progress towards targets
  • Manage - Influence airline partners to reduce overall environmental impact
  • Report - Comply with developing regulatory requirements to report Scope 3 emissions

Our Scope 3 Emissions Platform delivers monthly reporting of CO₂ emissions calculated at the individual flight level accessible to all airports - without the need to share air transport movement logs. This allows access to reliable, flight-based emissions data with ease.

Comprehensive reports that empower decision-making

Trusted methodologies

By combining terrestrial and satellite-based ADS-B flight tracking with RDC's trusted fuel burn methodology, our industry leading airline fleet resource LOOP, and leveraging data from ICAO and Eurocontrol, RDC produces flight-level emissions analysis for each stage of the flight.
