IATA and 123Carbon have announced a collaboration aimed at enhancing interoperability for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) registries. The partnership will focus on three primary areas: creating a unique identifier and aligning data points for registry exchanges, establishing an information exchange process to prevent double issuance, and developing a dispute resolution process.
Marie Owens Thomsen, IATA’s Senior Vice President Sustainability and Chief Economist, emphasized the importance of user trust in this initiative. She stated, “The transparency that comes with interoperability will ensure that our registries can function cohesively to maximize SAF’s potential to support aviation’s decarbonization. The broader the alignment among registry providers, the better.”
Jeroen van Heiningen, Managing Director of 123Carbon, expressed his company's commitment to market integrity and trust for Environmental Attribute Certificates (EACs) across various transportation modes. He remarked, “With IATA, we have found a strong partner in the aviation sector that shares our beliefs."
