Bombardier (BBD.B-T) CSeries jetliner has become the first aircraft to receive a key environmental designation, just as the aviation industry moves toward implementing a cap on emissions.

EPD International, a Stockholm-based organization that studies the environmental impact of a variety of products, said the CS100 aircraft is the first in its industry to receive an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). An EPD does not necessarily indicate that a product is environmentally superior to its competitors, but it does provide an independent analysis of its full environmental impact, from design and manufacturing to operation and end-of-life.

Bombardier officials believe that having these data available will make the aircraft more appealing to potential customers. The EPD found that the CSeries consumes as little as two litres of fuel per 100 kilometres per passenger. This means it will reduce emissions by up to 120,000 tonnes compared with similarly sized aircraft, the same as taking 32,000 cars off the road for a year.

The International Civil Aviation Organization aims to cap emissions from international flights at 2020 levels.
