Satcom Direct will soon be launching an automated carbon reporting module to its SD Pro operating system and demonstrating the new tool later this month at EBACE. The company expects the module’s first phase functionality to be ready by August.
The tool uses real-time data generated by the company’s FlightDeck Freedom datalink service, which accurately measures fuel burn. It uses that data to calculate carbon emissions based on the type and amount of fuel burned, including the blend ratio of sustainable aviation fuel. Operators are then presented with validated emissions data that can be parsed by an individual aircraft, a single flight, or an entire fleet.
The data is run through calculations developed to comply with regulatory standards on carbon emission reporting. The resulting reports give operators a variety of metrics, including the amount of carbon dioxide generated, where it was emitted, and how this volume compares to previous trips. The information is presented graphically and can be used to generate carbon certificates, transactional records for purchased credits, and authenticated tracking information, thus streamlining the computations necessary for mandatory and voluntary emission reporting and offsetting.
Further, it will allow users to view their CO2 emissions and access associated certificates and records. Via SD Pro's carbon offsetting platform Patch, operators can purchase offset credits through qualified registries with a choice of more than 140 verified offset projects.
“With the industry pledging to be carbon neutral by 2050, we recognize that aircraft operators need to monitor each flight’s environmental impact,” explained company founder and CEO Jim Jensen. “We’ve developed this new tool to help them streamline the calculations and provide seamless access to offset options and give them control over their own reporting and carbon strategy.” He noted the tool will be particularly useful for those operating under environmental social governance and the evolving CORSIA compliance guidelines. "We know the industry will welcome the simplicity and convenience."

At its booth (T106), the Florida-based inflight connectivity provider will demonstrate its capabilities this week to showgoers.
