In a significant step toward advancing sustainable aviation, the Civil Aviation Decarbonization Organization (CADO) and 4AIR have announced a strategic partnership between their respective Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) registries. The collaboration aims to enhance interoperability, ensuring accurate data tracking, reducing the risk of duplicate SAF certificates, and streamlining cross-registry certificate handling for both commercial and business aviation, reports Biodiesel Magazine.
The initiative links the CADO SAF Registry with the Assure SAF Registry powered by 4AIR, marking a move toward a more transparent and efficient SAF market while safeguarding data integrity.
“Collaboration can leverage the strengths of each sector to tackle the challenge of decarbonizing the aviation industry more effectively,” said Kennedy Ricci, President of 4AIR. “Aligning commercial and business aviation sends a strong demand signal for more SAF, increases transparency, and reduces risks across the SAF value chain.”
Michael Schneider, Executive Director of CADO, echoed the sentiment, stressing the importance of a unified approach. “Creating a supportive environment for SAF adoption requires all registry providers to work together on technical interoperability. This ensures standardized and secure tracking of emissions reductions, lowers procurement costs, and simplifies the process of claiming SAF benefits under both voluntary and regulatory schemes.”
The collaboration is seen as a vital move toward accelerating SAF uptake, improving efficiency across the sector, and reinforcing the industry’s commitment to decarbonization.
