CoSAFA publish SAF book and claim guidance
In Washington D.C., the Council on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (CoSAFA) introduced its “Methodology for SAF Environmental Attribute Transactions.”
The entity said this is a first step in establishing universally recognized procedures for SAF accounting and auditing to support global book and claim systems. The guidance details the information and procedures necessary for individual book and claim systems to transparently and credibly transact SAF’s associated environmental benefits.
Claude Hurley, Director, Environment and Flight Operations at the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC), said: “The transition to sustainable aviation fuels will be the greatest contributor to business aviation achieving NetZero carbon emissions by 2050. Book and claim systems are required for wider SAF uptake, especially in areas where it’s not yet readily available. We applaud CoSAFA’s efforts to develop this transparent, credible B&C accounting and auditing methodology.”
CoSAFA said its methodology helps ensure the environmental claims made by using SAF within book and claim systems are both credible and transparent by creating a basic set of fair rules.
The CoSAFA methodology also helps ensure audibility, prevent double counting, and provide transparency on aviation sustainability and decarbonization claims, the entity added.
