Regulatory Clock

The non‑CO₂ compliance timeline is now hard‑coded.

Regulation (EU) 2024/2493 forces every EEA operator to quantify and report contrails and SOx. The March 31 2026 deadline is a signed CEO liability. tLCAF is engineered to show progress in that very first filing.

Align your fleet with 2026

From Monitoring to Monetization

Key Milestones
Year Regulatory Event Implication for Airlines tLCAF Role
Jan 1 2025 Monitoring obligation starts Every flight now accumulates reportable impact. Early adoption reduces cumulative baseline.
Mar 31 2026 First verified report due CEOs sign off on contrail data for 2025. Demo flights create credible evidence.
2027 Scope expands to all EEA Long‑haul carriers pulled into the net. Scalable deployment beyond intra‑EEA.
Post-2027 EU ETS likely extended Contrails/SOx carry explicit financial prices. Hedge against future allowance costs.

How NEATS Turns Chemistry into Climate Scores

Mechanism

NEATS uses Method C (weather‑based) to compute CO₂e from non‑CO₂ effects, fusing trajectory, weather, and fuel properties. Where fuel is unknown, it punishes operators with conservative defaults.

Three Data Streams

Inputs
  • 4D trajectory (lat, lon, altitude, time)
  • Atmospheric conditions (temp, humidity)
  • Airframe, engine, and fuel properties

Default Value Trap

Risk

If you cannot prove your fuel composition, NEATS defaults to:

  • 25% Aromatics (v/v)
  • 3000 ppm Sulfur (mass)
  • 3% Naphthalene (v/v)

Even moderately cleaner fuels are treated as worst‑case if not digitized.

tLCAF as Primary Data

Opportunity

Flights using tLCAF report certified inputs:

  • 8-10% Aromatics
  • 10-15 ppm Sulfur

Result: Measurably lower nvPM, thinner contrails, and reduced CO₂e in NEATS.

Stop Selling “Cleaner Fuel,” Start Selling Verified Compliance

Strategy

The NEATS default value trap reframes tLCAF: this is not simply a low‑sulfur, low‑aromatic Jet A‑1. It is a compliance instrument that lets airlines replace punitive defaults with best‑in‑class primary data.
