This data point measures how much aviation fuel (e.g., Jet A, Jet A-1, or AvGas) your company used in the reporting year. It includes all fuel burned in company-operated or contracted aircraft under your operational control, and should be reported in liters.

What to include:

  • Include all aviation fuel consumed by aircraft that your company operates or controls, including chartered business jets, test flights, or drones with internal combustion engines.

  • Only include actual fuel use within the reporting year, and report in liters.

  • The data should reflect physical consumption, not just purchases, and can be sourced from flight logs, fuel slips, or aviation accounting systems.

What not to include:

  • Do not include emissions from commercial passenger flights booked via airlines, as these are typically part of Scope 3 business travel.

  • Also exclude any aviation fuel purchased for aircraft not owned or operated under your company’s control.

  • Electric drones or aircraft that use non-combustion energy sources should also be excluded.

Estimation Methodology:

If actual data for the last months of the reporting period isn’t available at the time of reporting, follow this approach:

Step-by-Step Estimation Rule:

  • Use actual monthly data for all available months in the reporting year.

  • Calculate the monthly average from the available months.

  • Multiply that average by the number of missing months to estimate those periods.

  • Add the estimated consumption to the actual year-to-date total.
