The International Air Transport Association (IATA) and 123Carbon announced a strategic collaboration to develop interoperability between their respective Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) registries. Interoperability will increase transparency, avoid emissions reporting errors—including double issuance—and streamline certificate management across SAF registries. 

The collaboration between IATA and 123Carbon will focus on three key elements:

1 A unique identifier and alignment of the relevant data points to exchange between registries.

2 A process for the exchange of information to avoid any potential double issuance.

3 A dispute resolution process. 

Both will seek engagement with other SAF stakeholders to join this initiative to deepen the interaction between registries.
