SAF GHG EMISSION ACCOUNTING AND INSETTING GUIDELINES

Smart Freight Centre (SFC) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Center for Transportation & Logistics (CTL) have developed guidelines for insetting in air transportation value chains to facilitate the use of more SAF and help decarbonize the sector. These guidelines outline a system for GHG insets that allows air carriers, logistics service providers, freight shippers, aviation fuel suppliers to collaborate with each other to:

  1. Bear the cost premium of SAF
  2. Increase the uptake of SAF
  3. Reduce air transportation emissions

The document also shows how these organizations can benefit from the ability to report lower emissions as a result of their investment.
