Centre considers funding, tax support for early SAF deployment ↗

Consider the following statements regarding the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF):

Statements

  1. CORSIA is an international aviation carbon offsetting framework administered by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), under which airlines offset emissions that exceed a baseline through verified carbon credits or use of eligible SAF.
  2. SAF, when produced from approved feedstocks, qualifies under CORSIA as a means of reducing lifecycle carbon emissions, because the carbon absorbed during feedstock growth offsets a portion of combustion emissions.
  3. Under CORSIA, only State aircraft operated for military or customs purposes are subject to offsetting obligations, while commercial airline operations are voluntarily excluded from the scheme during its pilot phase.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
