First successful delivery of Sustainable Aviation Fuel certificates (SAFc) expands corporate access to decarbonization tools
SAFc enables companies to address Scope 3 aviation emissions through a transparent, book-and-claim system
STX Group leverages global trading expertise to increase liquidity and lower entry barriers for corporate buyers
STX Group has completed its first successful delivery of Sustainable Aviation Fuel certificates (SAFc), marking a milestone in efforts to expand access to one of aviation’s most effective decarbonization tools. The move is part of a broader strategy to grow liquidity in the SAFc market and reduce barriers for corporate buyers.
SAFc separates the environmental benefits of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) from the physical product, allowing companies to claim carbon reductions linked to business travel and air freight. According to IATA, SAF can cut lifecycle CO2 emissions by up to 80%, making it a key lever for decarbonizing aviation, which accounts for 2–3% of global emissions.
“Purchasing SAFc supports the replacement of fossil kerosene with SAF, which offers lower lifecycle emissions and provides a readily implementable, transparent and scalable solution for corporates looking to address their Scope 3 emissions,” STX Group said in a statement.
The firm emphasized that all SAFc traded through its platform are listed on public registries, third-party certified, and aligned with stringent additionality standards. With no large minimum purchase requirements, companies of all sizes can access SAFc, increasing participation in scaling global SAF supply.

“We are thrilled to play a role in shaping the SAFc industry by bringing more liquidity to the market,” said Fabian Roobeek, Managing Partner at STX Group. “Our long history of trading niche environmental commodity products underlines our role in enhancing liquidity on the new commodity markets. We are therefore well positioned to grow the SAFc industry further, help to scale production and provide access.”
SAFc’s role as a recognized solution was reinforced in the Science Based Targets initiative’s draft Net Zero guidance (March 2025), which identified SAFc as critical for companies addressing Scope 3 aviation-related emissions.
