The biofuels digest website reports the launching of a "new carbon calculating tool" for the aviation industry.

The tool is essentially a software called, "FuelPlus Emissions", and will "enable carriers that are to be included in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) to track, report and forecast tonne-kilometre data and aircraft emissions for every flight and every type of fuel"..
