The Civil Aviation Decarbonization Organization (CADO) is set to operate the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Registry, a crucial development in the aviation industry's efforts to reduce carbon emissions. Willie Walsh, Director General of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), emphasized the significance of this initiative, stating, "The SAF Registry is a critical piece of market infrastructure that is indispensable in building a global, transparent, and liquid global market for SAF. The industry’s commitment to build the Registry and establish CADO to manage it should inspire governments, fossil fuel producers, and investors to engage in the SAF market with commensurate vigor. Ramping-up SAF production is the common goal and the structure we are putting in place with CADO is an important step in moving decarbonization forward."
CADO has been established as a not-for-profit organization based in Montreal, Canada. IATA serves as its founding member and will provide ongoing technical support and operations for CADO. Membership within CADO is open to various entities involved or interested in the SAF value chain.
The SAF Registry aims to record transactions related to sustainable aviation fuel globally in a standardized manner. This system will allow airlines and corporate customers to track environmental benefits across the value chain while meeting regulatory obligations and voluntary schemes.
