IATA to develop SAF Registry to promote SAF use

In the UAE, International Air Transport Association announced that it will establish the SAF Registry to accelerate the uptake of Sustainable Aviation Fuels by authoritatively accounting and reporting emissions reductions from SAF.

Seventeen airlines, one airline group, six national authorities, three Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), and one fuel producer are already supporting the effort to develop the Registry. The Registry is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2025.

SAF is expected to account for up to 65% of the total carbon mitigation needed to achieve net zero carbon emissions in air transportation by 2050.
