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
- 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.
- SABA Eligible
Specific user groups can also benefit from the following:
Aircraft Operators
- Voluntary and regulatory reporting and claiming of SAF environmental attributes
- No orphaned Scope 1 environmental attributes – Aircraft Operators are always assigned Scope 1 benefits at each redemption, even if they are not directly involved in a transaction
- Registration of SAF environmental attributes and transfer among Aircraft Operators, Fuel Producers, and Suppliers
- Group-level user management to accommodate central management of Scope 3 sales and SAF reporting in airline groups
- Claiming module to allocate redemptions to a claiming year and auto-generate the CORSIA Eligible Fuels Reporting Template
Fuel Producers/Fuel Suppliers

- 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
- Option to directly market Scope 3 benefits to End Customer using the Intermediary functionality
- Generating emissions excerpts and emissions statements for End Customers and Freight Forwarders for eligible transactions
Aircraft Operators’ Customers including Freight Forwarders and Shippers
- Claiming module to allocate redemptions to a claiming year
- Self-serve approach to managing inventories with an option to download Emissions Statements (proof of redemption)

- Flexible transactions enabling agreements with Aircraft Operators, Intermediaries, or Fuel Producer/Suppliers
States/State Authorities
