Alkagesta awarded ISCC CORSIA certification

Alkagesta, a global commodity trading house specializing in petroleum and steel products, fertilizers and biofuels, announced in January that it has been awarded certification under the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification System GmbH’s Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation, enabling the company to trade and supply CORSIA-eligible sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in accordance with international aviation-sustainability requirements.

As the global aviation sector enters a more advanced phase of emissions monitoring and compliance, CORSIA certification serves as a recognized framework ensuring that SAF meets defined lifecycle greenhouse-gas reduction criteria under International Civil Aviation Organization standards.

Through certification under an ICAO-approved sustainability scheme, Alkagesta said it is now positioned to support airline counterparties with verified SAF supply aligned with regulatory obligations.

“Achieving ISCC CORSIA certification reflects the continued development of our biofuels activities and our focus on structured, compliant market participation,” said Anthony Guida, a biofuels trader and business developer at Alkagesta. “The certification provides a clear chain of custody and traceability across the supply process, supporting counterparties in meeting both international and regional SAF requirements.”

Within the European regulatory landscape, initiatives such as ReFuelEU aviation introduce mandatory SAF-blending thresholds, while the gradual phase-out of free allowances under the EU Emissions Trading System further reinforces the economic relevance of sustainable fuel adoption.

Against this backdrop, CORSIA certification contributes to a more harmonized compliance environment, supporting transparency and consistency across international SAF markets.

Alkagesta said it continues to develop its sustainable fuels capabilities within a disciplined trading and governance framework, supporting the broader transition toward lower-carbon aviation solutions.

Established in Malta in 2018, Alkagesta operates as a multinational enterprise with 17 offices and representations worldwide.

Alkagesta maintains partnerships with 28 international banks and conducts trading activities across 42 countries, facilitating over 7 million metric tons of commodity flows annually.

Its logistics network includes access to more than 700,000 cubic meters of storage capacity across Europe and Asia.

In addition to its core activities, Alkagesta selectively engages in spot trading of petrochemicals, agricultural commodities and metals.

The company offers fully integrated trading capabilities—from sourcing and storage to delivery—underpinned by robust risk management, compliance and governance frameworks.
