As the aviation sector works to reduce its environmental impact, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) has emerged as a key solution.

Our latest video breaks down how SAF is addressed under the EU’s ReFuelEU Aviation regulation and how emissions are accounted for across the value chain. It explores how SAF use impacts Scope 1 emissions for airlines and Scope 3 emissions for cargo owners and freight forwarders—and how both regulatory compliance and voluntary climate action play a role in decarbonizing air freight.

The video walks through three practical cases:
  • Compliance SAF only: From 2025, fuel providers must blend 2% SAF into jet fuel. Airlines using this fuel allocate the resulting emission savings equally to all cargo owners.
  • Voluntary SAF procurement: Cargo owners can purchase Low Emission Transport Services and claim exclusive Scope 3 emission reductions through Book and Claim.
  • The real-world mix: Airlines use SAF for both regulatory and voluntary purposes, keeping the emission benefits clearly separated.
