Key points
- IATA, Airbus and Accenture released a study in Brussels on the market for sustainable aviation fuel environmental attribute certificates, arguing that corporate purchases of the certificates could become a new source of SAF financing.
- The study estimates corporate procurement could support 1 million to 1.9 million tonnes of SAF by 2030, up from about 323000 tonnes in 2024.
- Certificate prices, unclear carbon accounting rules and complex procurement remain the main barriers; the study calls for clear accounting rules, interoperable traceability and simpler purchasing.
Summary
IATA, Airbus and Accenture released a study in Brussels on the market for sustainable aviation fuel environmental attribute certificates, arguing that corporate purchases of the certificates could become a new source of SAF financing. The study estimates corporate procurement could support 1 million to 1.9 million tonnes of SAF by 2030, up from about 323000 tonnes in 2024. Certificate prices, unclear carbon accounting rules and complex procurement remain the main barriers; the study calls for clear accounting rules, interoperable traceability and simpler purchasing. Corporate demand alone will not close the gap, and government support and capacity growth are still needed.
