Cirium to launch aircraft emissions and fuel burn data platform

Aviation analytics company Cirium has introduced Emerald Sky, an independent analytical tool used to gather precise measurements on aircraft emissions and fuel burn. Its methodology analyses each flight’s specific aircraft type and design specifications, combined with real-time operational data and flight conditions to ensure accurate emission tracking. Cirium said the tool is distinct from traditional carbon calculators that relies on “broad estimates and loose assumptions” such as pre-planned routes instead of actual flown paths, as well as ignoring variables like wind speed and direction. It said Emerald Sky’s emission results are based on the seat in a specific class of
