CADO and 4Air harmonise SAF registries for commercial and business aviation

The Civil Aviation Decarbonization Organization (CADO) and 4AIR announced a strategic collaboration between their respective Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) registries.
The collaboration's key focus is on interoperability to enhance data integrity, mitigate double issuance risks, and facilitate efficient cross-registry SAF certificate handling between commercial and business aviation.
The collaboration between the CADO SAF Registry and the Assure SAF Registry powered by 4AIR is a key step towards a fully functioning SAF market while safeguarding data integrity.
"Collaboration can leverage the strengths of each sector to tackle the challenge of decarbonizing the aviation industry more effectively. Alignment between commercial and business aviation sends a strong demand signal for more SAF, creates greater transparency, reduces integrity risks for the SAF value chain, and eases the burden of claiming SAF under voluntary or regulatory schemes," said Kennedy Ricci, President of 4AIR.
"A unified approach from both business and commercial aviation is vital to create an environment that promotes SAF development and adoption across sectors.
“This can only be achieved when all registry providers work together and cooperate on the technical aspects of interoperability, to ensure immutable tracking of emission reductions, in a harmonized and standardized way.
“This should lead to greater acceptance and demand for SAF, potentially lowering the costs and administrative burden for procuring SAF and claiming its environmental attributes under voluntary or regulatory schemes," said Michael Schneider, executive director of CADO.
