4AIR to partner with Southwest Airlines to document SAF use
In Boston, 4AIR announced that it will provide SAF inventory accounting and documentation services for Southwest Airlines.
Under the terms of the agreement, 4AIR will support Southwest with allocating and documenting certain Scope 3 emission reduction rights arising from Southwest’s use of SAF for corporate clients participating in its SAF Beta Program. These clients purchase Scope 3 emission reduction rights arising from Southwest’s use of SAF, which contributes to reducing the premium of SAF over conventional jet fuel and helps send demand signals to the market.
“This partnership with Southwest Airlines ensures transparency of its SAF emissions accounting for corporate customers,” said Kennedy Ricci, 4AIR’s President. “This step underscores Southwest’s commitment to SAF and the importance of moving the industry forward toward carbon neutrality by 2050.”
In October 2021, the carrier announced a series of near-term goals, actions, and initiatives in support of a 10-year plan to maintain carbon neutrality to 2019 levels while continuing to grow its operations. This includes a goal of replacing 10% of its total jet fuel consumption with sustainable aviation fuel by 2030.
