Proposal for a regulation
Recital 19 a (new)
Recital 19 a (new)
(19 a) This Regulation enables stakeholders from different parts of the value chain to contribute to emission reductions in their respective industry and claim tradable emissions reductions in their carbon reporting (book and claim). A central obligatory system of SAF registration, allocation, accounting, and reporting (SAF registry) should beset up to stimulate further SAF demand while avoiding double counting. Formalized and standardized documentation and tracking methods will ensure transparency and trust and auditability in the process.

Recital 19 b (new)
(19 b) To achieve the lowest cost and highest efficiency, a SAF accounting framework inspired by the renewable electricity accounting framework is needed. Fuel suppliers should be able to issue and trade SAF certificates from overfulfillment of the mandate with ambitious airlines. Also airlines among each other should be able to trade these SAF certificates without generating competitive distortion between them. Only airlines in possession of such SAF certificates should claim the associated emission reductions. SAF should be distributed from the production facilities to the most suitable airports to prevent inefficiency, additional logistical effort and thus also higher transport emissions. The airport infrastructure will supply a given amount of SAF through its fuel system, but only airlines that actually possess the SAF attributes will be able to account for it in the booking system. It should be prevented, that airlines have to carry extra fuel on-board if SAF is not available at a certain airport, that competitive distortion is caused by the blending mandate and that airlines cannot protect themselves against excessive prices when depending on fuel suppliers. Airlines that aim for higher CO2 emission reductions will be able to decide to buy a larger amount of SAF and distribute the SAF in the most economic efficient and unbureaucratic way across the fleet without competitive distortion between airlines. This would lead to a more dynamic and competitive SAF market with more available SAF at affordable prices

Article 8 – paragraph 2 a (new)
2a (new) In order to ensure transparency and to prevent double claiming, a central obligatory system of SAF registration, allocation, accounting and reporting (SAF registry) shall be set up by accredited organizations. Formalized and standardized documentation and tracking methods shall ensure trust and auditability in the process. A supplier shall generate a sustainability certificate based on the physical SAF environmental attributes and shall enter it into the registry. An operator may purchase the sustainability certificate from the supplier, the transaction is recorded in the registry while the physical delivery is separate (book and claim). Regulatory compliance with sustainability criteria is an entry requirement. The operator may transfer reductions from the sustainability certificates to their customers.
