Future Energy Global (FEG) and Climate Impact Partners have launched a partnership to bring SAF Certificates to corporate buyers as a verified tool for addressing Scope 3 aviation emissions. The deal channels FEG’s existing SAFc product through Climate Impact Partners’ carbon market distribution network, giving a significantly wider audience of corporate sustainability teams access to book-and-claim SAF accounting.
The mechanism addresses a structural problem in corporate aviation decarbonisation: most companies have no control over the fuel burned on their employees’ flights or their cargo shipments, yet those emissions sit in their Scope 3 inventory. SAFc resolves this by separating the verified environmental attributes of SAF from the physical fuel. A company purchases certificates representing real, independently verified carbon reductions from SAF use — financing additional SAF production in the process — without needing to be the entity that actually uplifts the fuel. Book-and-claim is the accounting architecture that makes this separation possible, and its credibility depends entirely on verification standards.
According to the announcement, SAF is expected to deliver around two-thirds of the aviation sector’s required emissions reductions on the path to net zero by 2050 — but production must scale more than 400-fold from current levels to meet that demand. Corporate SAFc purchasing is one of the demand-side signals that helps justify that investment. The SAFc Registry has already surpassed 500,000 metric tonnes of CO₂ abated, establishing a baseline of market activity that partnerships like this one are designed to accelerate.
‘We’re already providing SAF-based Scope 3 credits to forward-looking corporates as part of their emissions compensation portfolio,’ said Natasha Mann, CEO and Co-Founder of Future Energy Global. ‘By partnering with Climate Impact Partners, a leader in the carbon markets, our solutions can reach a far wider audience.’
‘SAF Certificates provide a credible, immediately deployable solution for addressing some of the hardest-to-abate Scope 3 emissions. Our partnership with Future Energy Global strengthens the solutions available to our clients and we’re already seeing strong interest in integrating SAFc into net zero strategies.’ — Sheri Hickok, CEO, Climate Impact Partners
The ‘immediately deployable’ framing from Climate Impact Partners CEO Sheri Hickok is pointed. As corporate net zero commitments face increasing scrutiny from regulators and investors, the availability of a verified, standards-aligned tool for aviation Scope 3 — one that does not require waiting for direct SAF offtake infrastructure — is a meaningful differentiator from offset-based alternatives.
With corporate demand for credible Scope 3 solutions intensifying and SAF production still at less than 1% of global jet fuel consumption, distribution partnerships that aggregate buyer demand at scale serve a dual purpose: they widen the market for SAFc and they provide the demand signal that SAF producers need to justify new capacity investment. Whether the appetite Climate Impact Partners is already seeing translates into sustained volume will be the measure of this partnership’s impact.
