    CFP Energy has the products, services and experts to help

    From sustainable aviation fuel and SAF credits, to CORSIA support and ETS compliance, we’re ready to provide instant support and decarbonisation opportunities.

    SAF credits allow airlines and corporate travellers to claim the environmental benefits of SAF without direct fuel use, using Book & Claim systems. These verified credits support emissions reduction reporting, help meet voluntary climate goals, and stimulate SAF market growth in line with UK and EU aviation decarbonisation targets.

    Airports and ground operations can purchase green certificates to verify use of renewable power for lighting, terminals, and electrified ground vehicles, helping aviation operators meet sustainability targets and reduce Scope 2 emissions.

    Switching to biofuels, particularly Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), reduces lifecycle emissions from flights without requiring major aircraft modifications, directly supporting decarbonisation across short- and long-haul operations, and helping airlines navigate growing international climate regulation.

    Airlines and travel providers use voluntary carbon credits to compensate for hard-to-abate emissions from air travel. These verified credits support climate reporting, contribute to net zero targets, and enable near-term impact while longer-term decarbonisation plans are implemented.

    Airlines operating in the UK and EU are subject to emissions trading schemes, requiring them to monitor, report, and surrender carbon allowances. Navigating these regulations effectively helps avoid penalties and supports climate compliance in aviation.

    Airports and logistics facilities can use PPAs to procure renewable electricity for terminals, radar systems, and electrified ground fleets, reducing indirect emissions and enhancing infrastructure decarbonisation, especially in regulated airspace and carbon-conscious markets.

    Airlines benefit from structured fuel and emissions hedging tools to manage cost volatility and carbon market exposure. Liquidity solutions help balance high operational costs with investment in low-emission technologies and carbon compliance strategies.

    Your CORSIA experts

    “CORSIA is projected to mitigate 1.3 to 1.7 billion tonnes of carbon between 2024 and 2035, playing a pivotal role in aviation’s efforts to manage emissions growth. Early action will remain critical as the sector transitions towards long-term decarbonisation goals.”

    “Trading opportunities are expanding beyond physical SAF to include blending credits, voluntary credits, and SAF futures. Challenges persist, such as high entry barriers, price volatility, and the dominance of conventional jet fuel suppliers. But there’s ample supply from major producers, with rising voluntary SAF demand from airlines and corporates aiming to surpass mandated levels.”

    Aviation sustainability FAQs

    Sustainability in aviation refers to reducing aviation emissions through cleaner technology, sustainable aviation fuel, and efficient operations. By adopting renewable jet fuel and improving aircraft performance, the industry supports sustainable aviation. These efforts aim to meet environmental goals while allowing responsible air travel growth and reduced climate impact.

    Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is not widely used due to limited supply, high production costs, and distribution challenges. Although SAF aviation fuel significantly reduces aviation emissions, greater adoption requires government support, SAF credits, and investment in renewable jet fuel infrastructure to make sustainable aviation more commercially viable.

    SAF aviation fuel is produced from renewable sources like used cooking oil, plant waste, and non-food crops. This renewable jet fuel provides a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels. Sustainable aviation fuel plays a key role in reducing aviation emissions and helping airlines meet EU ETS aviation obligations.

    EU ETS aviation is the European Union Emissions Trading System for airlines. It monitors and limits aviation emissions by requiring carriers to purchase allowances or use SAF credits. The scheme supports sustainable aviation by encouraging the use of renewable jet fuel and other carbon reduction strategies.

    CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation) aims to stabilise international aviation emissions. It complements EU ETS aviation by requiring offsets for growth-related emissions. CORSIA supports sustainable aviation through SAF credits and promotes renewable jet fuel adoption to help reduce aviation’s global environmental impact.
