SABA goes live with its SAFc Connect platform

In Washington, the Sustainable Aviation Buyers Alliance (SABA) announced the go-live of SAFc Connect, a secure online platform to help connect corporate buyers with sustainable aviation fuel certificate (SAFc) providers and accelerate near-term progress in decarbonizing aviation. SAFc Connect gives participants a more flexible pathway to invest in high-integrity, commercially available SAF, and is designed to support a faster offer-to-sale cycle that lets SAFc providers tap into near term corporate demand. SABA surveys indicate that SABA member companies accessing SAFc Connect have an immediate demand for approximately $30 million worth of SAF certificates.  The annual demand volume is expected to grow significantly year-on-year as SABA membership expands and companies ramp up investment to meet 2030 climate targets. Approximately six SAFc providers — including Alaska Air, Future Energy Global, International Airlines Group (parent company of leading airlines including Aer Lingus, British Airways, Iberia, LEVEL, and Vueling), JetBlue, Targray, and Valero — have committed to participating in SAFc Connect with up to double that number expected to come on board in the coming months.
