Reduce aviation fuel emissions with confidence

Build carbon reduction decisions around your operating profile, regulatory obligations, reporting requirements, financial priorities, and fuel procurement strategy.

Physical SAF, Book & Claim (SAFc), carbon offsetting, CORSIA-related solutions, EU ETS-related solutions, and other lower-carbon aviation fuel options address different requirements. World Fuel helps bring these pathways into a more coordinated decision process so sustainability, procurement, finance, reporting, and operations teams can assess which options align with their objectives.

Understanding your carbon reduction options

Select sustainability pathways based on the emissions, compliance, operational, and reporting requirements you need to address.

No single mechanism addresses every carbon reduction requirement. Physical SAF may support emissions-reduction objectives where suitable supply is available. Book & Claim (SAFc) can extend participation beyond physical supply locations. CORSIA and EU ETS create separate compliance and reporting considerations that may influence procurement and financial planning. The appropriate approach depends on your operating profile, obligations, and objectives.

Fuel-based pathways

SAF and Book & Claim (SAFc)

Choose between physical aviation fuel supply and Book & Claim (SAFc) based on availability, operating locations, and program objectives.

Physical SAF can enter the fuel supply chain where suitable sourcing and delivery pathways are available. When physical SAF is unavailable at the airports where you operate, Book & Claim (SAFc) can extend participation beyond those location constraints. World Fuel provides access to both pathways, allowing customers to consider operational requirements, fuel procurement arrangements, reporting needs, and sustainability objectives without treating physical supply as the only route to participation.

Remaining emissions

Aviation emissions carbon offsetting

Consider eligible offsets for emissions that remain after operational improvements and lower-carbon fuel options.

Carbon offsets may support compliance-related or broader aviation carbon reduction objectives when emissions cannot otherwise be addressed through operational improvements or lower-carbon fuels. Within CORSIA, eligible carbon credits can address emissions from covered international flights, subject to the scheme’s requirements. Eligibility, documentation, and acceptance depend on the applicable program and its current rules.

Compliance Considerations

Meeting CORSIA and EU ETS requirements

Account for reporting obligations, eligible mechanisms, and financial exposure within aviation planning.

CORSIA and EU ETS operate through different frameworks and may affect aviation organizations based on their operations and applicable requirements. CORSIA addresses covered international aviation activity through reporting and eligible offsetting mechanisms. EU ETS may create separate emissions reporting and procurement obligations for covered aviation activity. Requirements can change, and organizations should confirm their specific obligations using current regulatory and legal guidance.

Carbon reduction solutions FAQs

Practical considerations when comparing aviation carbon reduction pathways and compliance mechanisms.

Which carbon reduction option should we choose?

The appropriate option depends on operating locations, fuel procurement arrangements, applicable obligations, reporting requirements, sustainability objectives, and financial priorities. Physical SAF, Book & Claim (SAFc), carbon offsets, CORSIA-related solutions, and EU ETS-related solutions serve different purposes and may be relevant individually or in combination.

What is the difference between SAF and Book & Claim (SAFc)?

Physical SAF is supplied through an available fuel delivery pathway. Book & Claim (SAFc) supports participation when physical SAF is not available at the locations where an organization operates, subject to applicable program, documentation, and claims requirements.

How does CORSIA affect aircraft operators?

CORSIA applies to covered international aviation activity. Requirements may depend on route coverage, operator activity, exemptions, participating states, and the applicable compliance phase. Organizations should confirm their obligations using current regulatory and legal guidance.

Can SAF reduce CORSIA offsetting requirements?

Eligible SAF may be used within the CORSIA framework to reduce emissions subject to offsetting when the fuel and associated documentation meet applicable CORSIA criteria.

How do we balance emissions reduction with cost?

Each mechanism addresses different objectives and carries different commercial considerations. Compare SAF availability, operating locations, reporting requirements, regulatory obligations, program eligibility, and financial exposure to determine where each option may fit.
