Abstract

Povećanje antropogenih emisija stakleničkih plinova uzrokuje globalno zatopljenje, koje se smatra glavnim problemom današnjice. Dugoročan učinak klimatskih promjena predstavlja važan poticaj za osnivanje međunarodnih sporazuma o klimatskoj politici. Na temelju njih, EU je razvila tržišno utemeljenu mjeru – sustav trgovanja emisijama (EU ETS), s ciljem smanjenja emisija stakleničkih plinova na ekonomski učinkovit način. S naglim porastom broja letova, zrakoplovstvo je jedan od najbrže rastućih izvora stakleničkih plinova. Emisije CO2 iz zrakoplovnih aktivnosti uključene su u EU ETS od 2012. godine. Zračni prijevoznici čije su aktivnosti uključene u EU ETS, moraju pratiti i izvještavati o emisijama CO2, a potom predati emisijske jedinice koje pokrivaju emisije letova koji su obavljeni u toj godini. U ovom diplomskom radu je obrađena problematika emisija zrakoplovnih motora, opisan je sustav praćenja emisija CO2 kod zračnih prijevoznika te su analizirani podaci o emisijama tijekom razdoblja primjene EU ETS-a.

Abstract (english)

The significant increase of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is causing global warming, which is considered a major problem nowadays. The long-term impact of climate change is an important stimulus for the establishment of international agreements on climate action. The European Union has developed a market-based measure – the Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in a cost-effective manner. With the rapid increase in the number of flights, aviation is one of the fastest-growing sources of greenhouse gas emissions. CO2 emissions from aviation activities have been included in the EU ETS since 2012. Airlines, whose activities are included in the EU ETS, must monitor and report on their CO2 emissions. Also, they have to surrender allowances covering the emissions of all flights they had operated in a given year. This thesis deals with the issue of aircraft engine emissions, describes an airline monitoring system of CO2 emissions and analyzes data on emissions during the period of application of the EU ETS.
