SAF Registry Benefits

Bringing benefits across the industry

The SAF Registry brings benefits for all SAF stakeholders.

  • Flexibility of choice amongst several formulas to calculate SAF emissions reduction based on its environmental properties
  • Support for transactions in multiple units, including kilograms, tonnes, liters, and gallons
  • Option to invite carbon auditors (introduced later in 2025)
  • Interoperability with at least one other registry to avoid double-issuance
  • Free access and no transaction fees for all users until April 2027
  • Transparent and agnostic toward SAF properties – no arbitrary restrictions on minimum SAF quality to qualify for use in the Registry nor timelines on SAF registration, redemption, etc.

Specific user groups can also benefit from the following:

  • No orphaned Scope 1 environmental attributes. This means that an Aircraft Operator will always receive Scope 1 benefits even if they are not involved in the transaction, e.g. a transaction between Fuel Suppliers and End Customers
  • Registering SAF into the system, transferring SAF Fuel Units (SFUs) among system users, including between airlines, and redeeming SFUs
  • Possibility of initiating multiple transfers in one action
  • Possibility of initiating multiple SFU redemptions in one action
  • Assigning Scope 3 emissions reductions to either specific End Customers and Freight Forwarders or for own use toward per-passenger/shipment CO2 emissions reductions in alignment with the IATA SAF Accounting Methodology
  • Generating emissions statements and emissions excerpts for End Customers and Freight Forwarders
  • Option to populate legislative reports, e.g. CORSIA (planned for late 2025)
  • Registering SAF into the system and transferring SFUs amongst system users
  • Option to initiate a transfer to an Aircraft Operator with a pre-determined allocation of Scope 3 environmental attributes to End Customers and Freight Forwarders, facilitating the execution of multi-party contracts
  • Possibility of initiating multiple transfers in one action
  • Generating emissions excerpts and emissions statements for Freight Forwarders and End Customers for eligible transactions
  • Flexible inventory screen to manage Scope 3 environmental attributes
  • Option to download emissions statements and emissions excerpts
  • Tracking SAF amounts redeemed in their jurisdictions
  • Validation of legislative claims, verification of compliance
