As a result of this it is now legally required to develop a set of rules to regulate the industry.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"su-highlight\" style=\"background:#81b910;color:#fff\">&nbsp;In Brief&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The\u00a0EPA will\u00a0wait for current international negotiations on limiting aviation\u00a0emissions in the to conclude\u00a0before publishing its final rule. Those discussions, which are taking place within the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) began in 2009 and are expected to be completed in February 2016.<\/li>\n<li>Each 5.5 pounds of weight reduced on an airplane means a one-ton reduction in carbon emissions per year, according to calculations by the International Air Transport Association.<\/li>\n<li>Aviation accounts for about 2 percent of global emissions, but is among the fastest-growing sources of global greenhouse gas emissions as air travel becomes more affordable and more people travel around the world. By 2020, international aviation emissions could be 70 percent higher than in 2005, even if fuel efficiency improves by 2 percent a year, according to estimates cited by the European Commission.<\/li>\n<li>Commercial airlines have voluntarily committed to limit the growth of their carbon emissions to 2 percent a year through 2020, then cap emission growth after that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"su-highlight\" style=\"background:#81b910;color:#fff\">&nbsp;In Depth&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"removed_link\"
