Sustainable Aviation Fuel certificates issued by STX Group for expanding market reach in the aviation industry.

In a significant move towards decarbonizing the aviation industry, STX Group has announced its strategy to scale the production and provide access to Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) certificates (SAFc). This initiative aims to make SAFc available to companies of all sizes, thereby increasing market liquidity and reducing barriers for corporate buyers.

The role of SAF in reducing aviation's carbon footprint is undeniable. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), SAF can cut lifecycle CO2 emissions by up to 80%. Given that aviation accounts for 2-3% of global emissions, this is a crucial step towards a more sustainable future.

The SAFc industry is expected to benefit greatly from STX Group's efforts. The company's history of trading niche environmental commodity products positions them well to grow this industry further. All SAFc traded through STX Group's platform are listed on public registries, third-party certified, and aligned with stringent additionality standards.

Fabian Roobeek, Managing Partner at STX Group, expressed his excitement about shaping the SAFc industry. He believes that by increasing market liquidity, they can help companies address Scope 3 aviation emissions through a transparent, book-and-claim system.

The Science Based Targets initiative's draft Net Zero guidance (March 2025) identifies SAFc as a critical solution for companies addressing Scope 3 aviation-related emissions. This recognition reinforces the role of SAFc as a recognized solution for addressing these emissions.

Recently, the Petrolimex Aviation Fuel Joint Stock Company successfully delivered 1,200 m³ SAF for Vietjet flights, marking a significant milestone in the promotion of sustainable aviation in Vietnam. This delivery, following their receipt of ISCC EU and ISCC CORSIA certifications, underscores the potential of SAFc to make a real impact.

SAFc separates the environmental benefits of SAF from the physical product, making it an attractive option for companies looking to reduce their carbon footprint. Purchasing SAFc supports the replacement of fossil kerosene with SAF, a move that is essential for a more sustainable aviation sector.

STX Group's strategy is not only focused on enhancing liquidity on new commodity markets, including SAFc, but also on helping to grow the SAFc industry and increase its production. With no large minimum purchase requirements, companies of all sizes can access SAFc through STX Group, a move that could potentially revolutionize the aviation industry's approach to sustainability.
