Future Energy Global, Climate Impact Partners launch SAF certificates to help companies tackle scope 3 emissions

Carbon-market solutions provider Climate Impact Partners announced March 5 that it and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) market scaler Future Energy Global have joined forces to bring SAF certificates (SAFc) to market—enabling companies to address scope 3 emissions from business travel and cargo transport while accelerating the aviation industry’s transition to net zero.

SAF is expected to deliver around two-thirds of the aviation sector’s required emissions reductions to reach net zero by 2050 but production must scale more than 400-fold to meet demand.

This partnership will help bring together airlines, investors, SAF producers and corporates to help close that gap—creating a financial ecosystem that supports both industry transformation and corporate climate leadership.

Together, the two organizations combine expertise in corporate climate strategy and SAF market development.

Purchasing and retiring SAF certificates, which represent the verified carbon reductions achieved through the use of SAF, is a strategic way for companies to reduce scope 3 carbon emissions related to aviation activities.

Through a transparent book-and-claim system in which SAF certificates are independently verified and tracked, businesses can finance SAF production and claim its environmental benefits even without directly controlling the fuel used on flights.

“Scaling up the SAF market and enabling aviation to reach its net-zero goals will require the participation of other stakeholders,” said Natasha Mann, the CEO and co-founder of Future Energy Global. “We’re already providing SAF-based scope 3 credits to forward-looking corporates as part of their emissions-compensation portfolio, and by partnering with Climate Impact Partners—a leader in the carbon markets—our solutions can reach a far wider audience.”

Sheri Hickok, the CEO of Climate Impact Partners, added, “At Climate Impact Partners, we’re applying our decades of experience to bring more companies into the climate transition and accelerate emissions reductions. SAF certificates provide a credible, immediately deployable solution for addressing some of the hardest-to-abate scope 3 emissions. Our partnership with Future Energy Global strengthens the solutions available to our clients and we’re already seeing strong interest in integrating SAFc into net-zero strategies.”
