Hecksher has introduced Sustainable Aviation Fuel certificates (SAFc) as part of its broader sustainability strategy, giving companies a new way to reduce the climate impact of air freight.
SAFc operates under a “book and claim” system that separates the environmental attributes of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) from the physical product. This market-based mechanism allows businesses to address emissions without altering carriers, routes, or operations.
SAF is produced from certified feedstocks such as used cooking oil and other residual waste materials and can reduce life cycle CO₂ emissions by up to 80%, according to IATA.
“We’ve already taken significant steps to reduce emissions in sea freight. Purchasing SAFc for air freight supports the replacement of fossil kerosene and offers a readily implementable, transparent and scalable solution for corporates looking to address their Scope 3 emissions,” said Niklas Olsson, Group CEO of Hecksher.
