ISCC partners with OMV and Airbus to advance global SAF ecosystem

The International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) system has joined forces with OMV and Airbus in a strategic collaboration aimed at accelerating the development of a robust global Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) ecosystem.
This partnership brings together a leading certification body, a major energy company, and one of the world’s foremost aircraft manufacturers—an alliance that signals a meaningful step forward for the aviation sector’s decarbonisation ambitions.
At the heart of the collaboration is a shared commitment to scaling the production, certification, and adoption of SAF. ISCC’s rigorous sustainability standards will play a central role in ensuring that SAF produced and supplied within this framework meets high environmental and traceability requirements.
OMV contributes its expertise in advanced fuel production, while Airbus brings industry influence and technical insight to support wider market uptake.
The partnership aims to address key challenges that have slowed SAF deployment, including limited availability, high production costs, and the need for consistent global certification. By working together, the organisations hope to build confidence across the aviation value chain and encourage investment in new technologies and feedstocks.
This initiative reflects growing momentum across the industry to reduce lifecycle emissions and move towards net‑zero aviation.
