02 June 2024 (Dubai)\u00a0\u2013 The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced that it will establish the SAF Registry (Registry) to accelerate the uptake of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) by authoritatively accounting and reporting emissions reductions from SAF.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seventeen airlines, one airline group, six national authorities, three Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), and one fuel producer are already supporting the effort to develop the Registry, which is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SAF is expected to account for up to 65% of the total carbon mitigation needed to achieve net zero carbon emissions in air transportation by 2050. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSAF is key to aviation\u2019s decarbonization. Airlines want more SAF and stand ready to use every drop of it. The SAF Registry will help meet the critical needs of all stakeholders as part of the global effort to ramp up SAF production.\u00a0Governments need a trusted system to track the quality and quantities of SAF. SAF producers must accurately account for what has been delivered and effectively decarbonized. Corporate customers must be able to account for their Scope 3 emissions transparently. Airlines must be certain they can claim the environmental benefits of the SAF they purchased. The Registry will meet all these needs. In doing so, the Registry will help create a global SAF market by ensuring that airlines have access to SAF wherever it is produced and that SAF producers have access to airlines regardless of their location,\u201d said Willie Walsh, IATA\u2019s Director General.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Capabilities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The\u00a0Registry will\u00a0ensure that the sector\u2019s agreed SAF accounting and reporting principles are adhered to and fully aligned with international protocols and industry best practices. It will provide safeguards against double counting and double claiming and ensure the immutability and integrity of all interventions under the Registry.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Multiple Stakeholders<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Registry is being developed in consultation with airlines, government authorities, international organizations, OEMs, fuel producers and suppliers, airports, and corporate travel management companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Key and unique among the project\u2019s stakeholders is the participation of governments with the specific aim of ensuring compliance with civil aviation authorities’ requirements. Relevant authorities can swiftly validate and approve claims, update national emission inventories, and align their actions with international standards, such as those set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 02 June 2024 (Dubai)\u00a0\u2013 The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced that it will establish the SAF Registry (Registry) to accelerate the uptake of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) by authoritatively accounting and reporting emissions reductions from SAF.\u00a0 Seventeen airlines, one airline group, six national authorities, three Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), and one fuel producer are […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":49841,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_pr_autopilot_social_copy":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph_description":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph_image":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph_image_id":0,"_yoast_wpseo_twitter_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter_description":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter_image":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter_image_id":0,"_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":516,"_extra_hide_author_box":"","_extra_featured_post":"","_partner_post_id":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[516],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-49840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tourism","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
