Airline association IATA is creating a new organisation to manage its SAF Registry, which aims to offer a \u201cstandardised and transparent way\u201d to account for the use of alternative aviation fuels.
\nIATA said that the establishment of the Civil Aviation Decarbonisation Organisation (CADO) would \u201cturbo-charge the imminent launch\u201d of the SAF Registry, which will track the emissions reductions from the use of what the airline industry calls \u201csustainable\u201d aviation fuel (SAF).
\nWillie Walsh, IATA\u2019s director general, added: \u201cThe SAF Registry is a critical piece of market infrastructure that is indispensable in building a global, transparent and liquid global market for SAF.
\n\u201cThe industry\u2019s commitment to build the registry and establish CADO to manage it should inspire governments, fossil fuel producers and investors to engage in the SAF market with commensurate vigour.\u201d
\nWalsh said that \u201cramping up\u201d the production of alternative fuels was the \u201ccommon goal\u201d and the formation of CADO was \u201can important step in moving decarbonisation forward\u201d.
\nOne of the key roles of the registry will be to allow airlines and corporate customers to track the environmental benefits of using alternative fuels. This will enable them to claim emission reductions \u201cagainst regulatory obligations and voluntary schemes\u201d, including Scope 3 emissions from business travel.
\nMarie Owens Thomsen, IATA\u2019s senior vice president sustainability and chief economist, added that CADO would be a \u201cseparate entity from IATA with an open and global approach that supports the scrutiny needed to build trust among all stakeholders\u201d.
\n\u201cIn fact, the door is open for any stakeholder in the SAF value chain, including governments, to join CADO. This inclusive approach should also be a force for the harmonisation of the principles on which all SAF registries operate,\u201d said Thomsen.
\nAfter launch, participation in the SAF Registry will initially be free until April 2027, after which IATA said it would be operated on a \u201ccost recovery basis\u201d.
\nIATA last week announced an enhancement to its CO2 Connect emissions calculator to account for the increased use of alternative aviation fuels by carriers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
