SAFc Registry, Chooose, Alaska Airlines team up for SAFc transactions
The SAFc Registry and low-carbon fuel value chain software developer Chooose have partnered for a first-of-a-kind software integration to streamline sustainable aviation fuel certificate (SAFc) transactions with Alaska Airlines as the first airline to use the solution.
“Chooose is committed to building an open SAF ecosystem — in part by integrating with leading registries like SAFc to drive greater transparency and simpler workflows for our partners and their customers,” said Joseph Beaudin, CEO at Chooose.
SAFc Registry and Chooose said that their interoperability improves efficiencies, expands accessibility, and increases transparency in the SAF ecosystem.
This collaboration between the SAFc Registry, Chooose, and Alaska sets a new industry benchmark by demonstrating that scalable, trustworthy SAFc transactions are not just possible, but also play a critical role in the aviation industry’s net-zero emissions trajectory, said the press release issued by the company.
The SAFc Registry was launched in 2023 by RMI, the Environmental Defense Fund, Sustainable Aviation Buyers Alliance (SABA), and Energy Web, to create consistency, transparency, and auditability of the environmental attributes of SAF.
“Scaling the adoption of SAFc requires trust, transparency, and seamless transactions across the value chain,” said Bryan Fisher, managing director at RMI.
“This integration with Chooose represents a major step forward in ensuring that SAF environmental attributes are transferred, verified, and retired with integrity. By making these transactions more efficient and accessible, we are laying the foundation for broader industry adoption and helping accelerate the market for SAF.”
Last year, Alaska Airlines announced that it will offer guests the choice to voluntarily reduce the environmental impact of their travel with SAF credits during the flight booking process.
Airline users can choose to support SAF in an amount based on 5%, 10% or 20% of their carbon impact when they book a ticket on alaskaair.com.
