As part of this collaboration the companies piloted the ISCC Credit Transfer System, developed by ISCC, an independent, multi-stakeholder driven non-profit organisation. In the ISCC Credit Transfer System, SAF use and related sustainability benefits, namely greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions, are tracked and transferred via a registry operated by ISCC.
This newly developed system provides full traceability of SAF transactions and related sustainability benefits. This ensures that companies purchasing SAF and airlines using the fuel, are able to credibly and transparently claim emission reductions and use them towards their climate targets, while reducing the risk of incorrect sustainability claims and double counting of SAF volumes and their GHG emission reductions.
In developing the system, ISCC worked closely with key stakeholders from across the aviation sector. The system is designed to align closely with the requirements set by the Science Based Targets initiative’s (SBTi) aviation guidance for SAF use in addressing organisations’ value chain (Scope 3) emissions.
Neste tested the system with ISCC in cooperation with DHL Group earlier this year. For DHL Group, SAF is one of the key levers to achieve its 2030 SBTi approved decarbonisation target and 2050 net-zero target – DHL group aims for 30% SAF use by 2030.
“ISCC has developed the ISCC Credit Transfer System as a natural continuation of our established and globally used supply chain certification systems. With the ISCC Credit Transfer System, we provide a solution for traceable and credible Scope 1 and 3 emission reduction claims related to SAF use,” said Prof. Dr. Gernot Klepper, Chairman of the ISCC Association.
“SAF is a key solution to reduce aviation related GHG emissions but it’s also critical for airlines, freight forwarders and shippers, and corporate end-customers to be able to credibly and transparently report their SAF use and related emission reductions. The new ISCC Credit Transfer System is a big step forward as it also integrates with existing sustainability certification systems,” said Jonathan Wood, Vice President Commercial and Technical Management from Neste’s Renewable Aviation Business Unit.
