In Singapore, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) said it will collaborate with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to develop a SAF Registry, a global industry-led platform to accurately track, record and account for the emissions reductions arising from the use of SAF. Expected to launch in the first quarter of 2025, the Registry aims to accelerate the use of SAF by authoritatively accounting and reporting emissions reductions from SAF. The participation of government authorities, including CAAS, aims to ensure that the registry meets the requirements of civil aviation authorities. Han Kok Juan, Director-General, CAAS, said: “CAAS is happy to partner IATA on the development of a SAF registry that is robust, globally recognized and interoperable. The collaboration with IATA gives CAAS an opportunity to shape the development of the SAF registry which will be a critical enabler for the implementation of Singapore’s national SAF target from 2026.” This collaboration with IATA on the registry is one of the initiatives under the Memorandum of Understanding between CAAS and IATA signed earlier this year to strengthen collaboration to support the growth of aviation in Singapore and the Asia-Pacific region.
