Abstract: In June 2011, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) released ISO 50001, Energy Management Systems - Requirements with guidance for use while there are no exergy management system (ExMS) standards published yet. The main objective of this study is to present the structure of the ExMS standard, which has been proposed by the author for the first time in the open literature, towards establishing exergetically green aviation. The milestones of the ExMS standard were given first. A comparison between both EnMS and ExMS standards was then made in a tabulated form. Finally, the necessity of the ExMS was discussed.

Keywords: exergy policy; exergy analysis; exergy management system standards; exergetic performance indicators; sustainable aviation; sustainability; green aviation.
