Why Sustainable Aviation Fuel Certificates are a Key Tool for Corporate Climate Action

Sustainable Aviation Fuel Certificates (SAFCs) represent a critical mechanism for corporations to reduce their carbon footprint from air travel. Through a 'book and claim' system, companies can purchase the environmental benefits of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) without being physically connected to where the fuel is used. This decouples the sustainability claim from the physical fuel molecule, overcoming major logistical hurdles. By purchasing SAFCs, corporations can verifiably claim Scope 3 emissions reductions from business travel. This, in turn, provides airlines with the necessary financial incentive to invest in and scale up the production of more expensive SAF, accelerating the entire industry's path toward decarbonization.
