IATA unveils new body to manage SAF Registry

Monday, 24 Mar, 2025 0

IATA has established the Civil Aviation Decarbonization Organization (CADO) to manage the IATA-developed Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Registry when it is released.

CADO is incorporated as a not-for-profit organization in Canada and headquartered in Montreal.

IATA is the founding member of CADO and its role in CADO will include ongoing technical support and operations.

“CADO will turbocharge the imminent launch of the IATA-developed SAF Registry. Its mandate is to manage the SAF Registry as a separate entity from IATA with an open and global approach that supports the scrutiny needed,” said Marie Owens Thomsen, IATA’s SVP, Sustainability.

In fact, the door is open for any stakeholder in the SAF value chain, including governments, to join CADO.”

IATA says the SAF Registry is critical market infrastructure for a global and transparent global market for SAF.

“Ramping-up SAF production is the common goal and the structure we are putting in place with CADO is an important step,” said Willie Walsh, IATA’s Director General.

CADO membership is open to organizations that operate in or contribute directly to the SAF value chain, states or quasi-state organizations with a direct interest and related interest groups indirectly benefitting from SAF.

The SAF Registry is expected to launch soon.

The Registry will help connect airlines with SAF producers and suppliers.

Participation in the SAF Registry will be free until April 2027.
