The aviation industry worldwide is faced with the task of reducing its CO₂ emissions. With CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation), the ICAO has created a global mechanism that obliges airlines to offset emissions and use sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) plays a central role in this: it reduces greenhouse gas emissions, conserves fossil resources and contributes directly to the decarbonisation of aviation.
ISCC CORSIA is one of the leading certification systems that verifies the sustainability of SAF and bio-based aviation fuels according to clearly defined criteria.
It is recognised by the ICAO and established internationally.
The certification is aimed at all companies along the SAF supply chain that have to demonstrate sustainability requirements:
With a successful ISCC CORSIA certification, companies demonstrate the sustainability, traceability and greenhouse gas reduction (LCA) of their Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) in the ICAO CORSIA system. The system is recognised by the ICAO and provides an internationally established, reliable framework for SAF verification along global supply chains.
This provides you and your market partners with clear advantages:
SAF from waste, biogenic residues and RFNBOs (Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin) can be certified. These categories are expressly authorised by ICAO as sustainable input materials for CORSIA-compliant fuels.
The audit assesses the fulfilment of all CORSIA criteria, including
Relevant companies are: SAF producers, refineries, traders, warehouse keepers, co-processing plants and logistics companies that produce, trade or use CORSIA-eligible fuels or require sustainability claims for SAF.
Typical documents are
Once all the data is complete, certification can be finalised within a few weeks. The duration depends primarily on the level of preparation and the complexity of the supply chain.
Yes, ISCC CORSIA is officially recognised by the ICAO and is used worldwide as a reliable system for the certification of sustainable aviation fuels. It is a central component of the international SAF verification system.
International aviation must reduce emissions. CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation) is the ICAO instrument that obliges airlines to offset emissions through offsetting and/or the use of sustainable fuels. ISCC CORSIA provides the recognised certification framework for this.
ICAO CORSIA sets out binding rules for international airlines on monitoring, reporting and offsetting CO₂ emissions. These obligations depend on the respective CORSIA phase:
Phases and offsetting obligations
Annual reporting and compensation deadlines
Airlines must:
