Why ISCC CORSIA is Important to the Aviation Industry?
The aviation industry plays an important role in global mobility, but it also accounts for around 2% of the world’s total carbon emissions. To address the challenge of climate change, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) launched the CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation) scheme. The ultimate goal is to stabilize carbon emissions from international aviation and gradually reduce them towards net zero.
ISCC CORSIA comes as one of the certification schemes recognized by ICAO to ensure that the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) used meets sustainability standards and accurate emission calculations. This certification is essential for industry players to demonstrate their commitment to reducing their carbon footprint and remaining competitive in the global marketplace.
Adopting ISCC CORSIA is not just about regulatory compliance, but also offers a range of strategic benefits, including:
-
Global Market Access: The certificate is internationally recognized and a key requirement to enter the growing global SAF market.
-
Reputation & Trust: Certification demonstrates that your company is committed to sustainability and transparency.
-
Reduced Regulatory Risk: Helps businesses meet the requirements of ICAO and export destination countries.
-
Competitive Advantage: SAFs with CORSIA certification have higher added value and can be a differentiator in the market.
-
Supports Net Zero Goals: Helps airlines and suppliers contribute significantly to global emissions reductions. Read more how to achieve net zero emission in aviation with ISCC CORSIA
Who Should Consider ISCC CORSIA?
This certification is not only relevant for airlines, but also various other entities in the fuel supply chain:
-
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) producers
-
Distributor or trader of renewable fuels
-
Feedstock providers such as used cooking oil, biomass waste and agricultural residues
-
Fuel storage & logistics terminals
-
Airlines that want to ensure their fuel sources are certified and legitimately used for emissions offsetting
If you are involved in the production, distribution or use of SAF, ISCC CORSIA is a certification to consider to ensure that all processes are up to international standards.
