The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has launched a new organisation, Civil Aviation Decarbonization Organization (CADO), to operate the forthcoming Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Registry.<\/p>\n

A not-for-profit organisation based in Montreal, Canada, CADO will oversee the SAF Registry\u2019s operations, with IATA providing technical support.<\/p>\n

Membership in CADO is open to organisations involved in the SAF value chain, state and quasi-state entities with a direct interest in SAF, and related groups benefiting from SAF adoption in aviation.<\/p>\n

IATA sustainability senior vice-president and chief economist Marie Owens Thomsen said: \u201cCADO will turbo-charge the imminent launch of the IATA-developed SAF Registry. Its mandate is to manage the SAF Registry as a separate entity from IATA with an open and global approach that supports the scrutiny needed to build trust among all stakeholders.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn fact, the door is open for any stakeholder in the SAF value chain, including governments, to join CADO. This inclusive approach should also be a force for the harmonisation of the principles on which all SAF registries operate.\u201d<\/p>\n

IATA\u2019s SAF Registry aims to provide a global system for tracking SAF transactions in a transparent and standardised manner.<\/p>\n

It will facilitate the verification of the environmental benefits of SAF and compliance with regulatory and voluntary schemes.<\/p>\n

By connecting airlines with SAF producers and suppliers worldwide, the registry seeks to address the challenge of limited SAF availability.<\/p>\n

It will also enable corporate customers to contribute to in-sector emissions reductions and support decarbonisation efforts.<\/p>\n

IATA said the participation will be free until April 2027 in the SAF Registry, transitioning to a cost-recovery model thereafter.<\/p>\n

IATA director general Willie Walsh said: \u201cThe SAF Registry is a critical piece of market infrastructure that is indispensable in building a global, transparent, and liquid global market for SAF.<\/p>\n

\u201cRamping-up SAF production is the common goal and the structure we are putting in place with CADO is an important step in moving decarbonisation forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

In November 2024, IATA revealed that 17 airlines<\/a>, one airline group, six national authorities, three original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and one fuel producer had pre-registered to the registry.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, IATA and 123Carbon teamed up to develop<\/a> interoperability between their SAF registries.<\/p>\n
