United Nations COP28 climate change conference in Dubai, clean energy nonprofit RMI announced Wednesday. The founders include RMI and the Environmental Defense Fund in collaboration with the Sustainable Aviation Buyers Alliance and digital solutions developer Energy Web.
The SAFc Registry connects corporate consumers, airlines, freight forwarders and clean fuel producers in a “universally accessible platform that will spur the use of SAF via the purchase of SAF certificates,” according to RMI. The SAF certificates allow companies to directly buy the “auditable, credible emissions claims” that represent a volume of SAF displacing the same volume of conventional jet fuel for climate disclosures, and they can be issued and retired in the company’s name on the registry.
Bank of America, Boom Supersonic, Boston Consulting Group, JPMorgan Chase and Meta have already grouped together to collectively purchase SAF certificates through SABA. “Future procurement efforts can use the SAFc Registry to ensure the delivery of SAF certificates and sustainability assurances to buyers,” according to RMI.
