Abstract
The environmental impact of private jets contribute to global aviation emissions, estimated at 3% of total emissions. Private jets, though carrying few passengers, can emit tens of tonnes of CO2 per flight, highlighting the inequality in emissions compared to average global citizens, whose annual carbon footprint is around 4.7 tonnes: already from these figures one can see the importance and necessity of having adequate standard for business aviation. The aim of this thesis is to define the CO2 emission requirements of the Business Jet category, starting from a comparison with the regulations currently in force, specialising in the regulation of emissions from civil aviation aircraft.
The regulations in question were issued by ICAO in 2017 and are called Annex 16 - Volume III, “CO2 emission requirements” and provide the entire logical procedure to be used in order to calculate the CO2 metric value of each aircraft to which the regulations refer, also providing the metric limit value not to be exceeded
