Sustainable Aviation Buyers Alliance (SABA)

Are you headed to Sustainable Aviation Futures Congress in Amsterdam next week? You have three opportunities to learn about #emissionsaccounting and #bookandclaim from RMI expert Laura Hutchinson. Tuesday, May 21, find Laura alongside Thomas René Bock from ISCC - International Sustainability and Carbon Certification presenting on Monitoring, reporting and Verification of Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions as part of the SAF Feedstocks and Carbon Accounting Masterclass. Wednesday, May 22, Laura will be joining a panel on Book and Claim: Building an effective registry and accounting framework for SAF moderated by Graham Noyes, founder of the Low Carbon Fuels Coalition. Thursday, May 23, Laura will be sharing insights during a panel focused on business and regional #aviation moderated by Claude H., Director of Environment and Flight Operations at IBAC. Panelists will answer questions about what sustainability looks like, and what role SAF, offsets and book and claim have to play. Looking forward to lots of thoughtful conversations about #sustainableaviation, we hope to see you there! #sustainableaviationfuel #SAF #energytransition #carbonaccounting #netzero #climateaction Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/gYUpdVR6

Another exciting partnership coming out of our recent procurement process! Connecting corporate air travel customers with fuel providers who are aligned with their decarbonization goals drives investment into the #sustainableaviationfuel market, helping scale production and supporting technological innovation.

"Being an early adopter allows us to be part of the dialogue on how to work through important topics such as quality standards and sourcing," SABA member Boston Consulting Group (BCG)'s Chief Sustainability Officer David Webb told GreenBiz Group about their recent procurement of #sustainableaviationfuel certificates. "We see SAF as an important part of the solution for us as our business model will always require travel and working side by side with our client." By working with SABA and utilizing the SAFc Registry, they can be confident their certificates are fully traceable, and represent real-world reductions in #aviation emissions. https://lnkd.in/eE6syTeR

Are you ready to learn about how corporate aviation customers are coming together to decarbonize #aviation through the purchase of #sustainableaviationfuel (SAF) certificates? "Sustainable aviation fuel is one of the most promising pathways to large-scale aviation emissions abatement. SABA is helping to lower barriers to adoption and build the SAF sector through pioneering action, and Watershed is proud to include our customers in this latest historic purchase. Like SABA, we believe economy-wide decarbonization can accelerate when corporate climate leaders work together," said Claire G. Kiely of Watershed. Hear firsthand from Claire and Andre de Fontaine of Neoteric Energy & Climate about the power of demand aggregation during tomorrow's webinar at 11 a.m. ET. We'll also cover the importance of long-term contracts with Dorethe Nielsen of Novo Nordisk and Adam Klauber of World Energy, LLC, and talk about the progress being made on advanced fuel technologies with Ashwin Jadhav of Twelve and Courtney Unruh of Alaska Airlines. Don't miss this opportunity to ask a diverse group of panelists questions about their perspectives on the SAF market.

Have you heard? Our latest procurement efforts were featured on NPR and WBUR's Here & Now! Tune in to learn more about industry-wide efforts to advance #netzero #aviation: https://lnkd.in/gDWNt72q #sustainableaviation #sustainableaviationfuel #energytransition

Last week, we announced the results of our latest procurement process, which resulted in commitments to purchase sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) certificates representing about 50 million gallons of high-integrity SAF, channeling close to $200 million in investment into the SAF market. To make this investment possible, we connected close to 20 corporate aviation customers with 4 different fuel suppliers and 3 major airlines, meeting a variety of customer needs for low-emissions air transport. Twelve, the only Power-to-Liquid (PtL) SAF producer participating in this collection of deals, is demonstrating how corporate demand can help support novel fuel technologies. “As global demand for aviation and SAF grows, partners like SABA will be increasingly crucial to bring the full range of aviation stakeholders to the table,” said Nicholas Flanders, cofounder and CEO of Twelve. “Innovative power-to-liquid fuels will deliver deeper emissions reductions but need the support of airlines and corporations in order to scale. We’re proud to join with SABA and its collective of forward-minded corporate customers, airlines, and fellow fuel providers to deliver E-Jet fuel and help pioneer the market for high-integrity SAF certificates.” Learn more about Twelve's participation in our latest procurement effort at https://lnkd.in/eS4-3CzA.

Want to learn more about our historic procurement of #sustainableaviationfuel certificates, and why companies from all over the world are joining our efforts to decarbonize #aviation? We invite you to join us for a webinar hosted by RMI's Andrew Chen and Neoteric Energy & Climate's Andre de Fontaine: 🛫 Driving Scale and Sustainability in the SAF Market: Results from SABA's Multi-Year RFP 📆 Wednesday, May 1 🕚 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. ET 📍 https://lnkd.in/eSEmwsVt The SABA RFP brought together a range of market actors to execute SAF deals that featured varying term lengths, structures, and fuel types. Despite the variation, three key themes emerged from this process: 💪 the power of demand aggregation ⏳ the importance of long-term contracts ⛽ the progress being made on advanced fuel technologies. In this webinar, a diverse group of participants in the SABA RFP, including corporate customers Novo Nordisk and Watershed, SAF providers World Energy, LLC and Twelve, and Alaska Airlines, expand on these themes from the perspective of the deals they struck and their roles in the SABA RFP. We hope to see you there! #energytransition #climateaction #netzero

The results of our latest RFP process are in!   We worked with close to 20 organizations who were looking to reduce emissions from business travel and transport, including AstraZeneca, Autodesk, Bain & Company, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Deloitte, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Live Nation Entertainment, McKinsey & Company, Meta, Morgan Stanley, Netflix, Novo Nordisk, RMI, Samsung Biologics, Watershed and Workday to purchase sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) certificates representing about 50 million gallons of high-integrity SAF, channeling close to $200 million in investment into the SAF market.   This historic commitment to purchase SAFc, the largest collection of deals to-date, relied on 4 different fuel suppliers, including World Energy, LLC, SkyNRG and Twelve, and 3 major airlines, Alaska Airlines, JetBlue and Southwest Airlines, to meet the growing demand for low-emissions air transport from companies around the world.   While this transaction is a milestone for the aviation industry, there is a long way to go. Current fuel volumes that meet SABA’s requirements weren’t able to meet the demand of SABA members for 2024 and 2025. We hope the strong demand signals sent through this process will inspire fuel providers, airlines, standard-setting bodies and other industry stakeholders to come together for a strong, scalable SAF market, one that is able to provide the sustainable air travel and transport companies and individuals increasingly look for.   “The only way to drive structural change in hard to abate sectors like aviation is to shake up existing business models, said Kim Carnahan, Head of SABA’s Secretariat and CEO of Neoteric Energy & Climate. “The recent announcement from the Science Based Targets Initiative opening the door to the use of market-based approaches to address Scope 3 emissions only elevates the importance of SABA’s book and claim system as an innovative and environmentally robust avenue for customers to drive aviation decarbonization.”    Read the full release: https://lnkd.in/eM_AgmGs #aviation #sustainableaviation #netzero #climateaction #energytransition
