ISCC, OMV and Airbus launch new collaboration

The International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) has partnered with OMV and Airbus to support the further development of the global SAF ecosystem.
The collaboration is grounded in a shared focus on Book and Claim Chain-of-Custody models.
Together, the partners are exploring how Book and Claim approaches can help scale SAF while maintaining credibility, transparency and environmental integrity.
ISCC contributes robust certification expertise rooted in traceability, sustainability requirements and greenhouse gas accounting.
The collaboration will examine new roles and frameworks within Book and Claim Chain-of-Custody models, aligned with internationally recognised standards.
As part of the pilot project, Airbus will take on a new role in the ISCC Credit Transfer System as a facilitator, supporting transactions between supply chain actors such as airlines and corporate partners.
By introducing this role, the partners aim to strengthen cohesion and trust across global aviation value chains.
While similar functions have existed on Book and Claim platforms, the collaboration between OMV as a fuel producer and Airbus as a market aggregator represents a first-of-its-kind partnership to strengthen frameworks and deliver credible, scalable solutions.
“Scaling SAF is not only a question of production and demand, but also of trust,” said Dr Norbert Schmitz, managing director of ISCC.
