The Digest’s 2026 Multi-Slide Guide to CORSIA Default Life Cycle Emissions Values

This ICAO update establishes standardized emissions values for CORSIA eligible fuels, setting default Induced Land Use Change (ILUC) values to zero for wastes and residues. Core LCA values are specific, with municipal solid waste at 5.2 gCO2e/MJ and agricultural residues at 7.7 gCO2e/MJ. New applicability codes restrict certain values until December 2029. To qualify for negative ILUC values, cellulosic feedstocks must be sourced from marginal lands unused for 36 months, ensuring strict compliance with sustainability criteria.
