Sustainable Aviation Fuel Certificates: A Key Enabler for Corporate Climate Action
Sustainable Aviation Fuel Certificates (SAFCs) are emerging as a critical tool for decarbonizing corporate travel. This 'book-and-claim' system allows companies to purchase the environmental benefits of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) without physically handling the fuel itself. By decoupling the green attributes from the physical product, SAFCs enable corporations to invest in SAF and reduce their Scope 3 emissions from business flights. This mechanism helps to stimulate demand and provide crucial funding to scale up SAF production globally. A credible, transparent registry system is essential to prevent double-counting and ensure the integrity of the certificates.
