Beyond SAF mandates: Why the Voluntary SAF market matters (Stillwater Associates article)

As we gradually move toward 2030, the headlines are dominated by regulatory mandates like ReFuelEU and SAF blending obligations. But at SAF Planet, we know that for the most ambitious organizations, "waiting for the mandate" isn't an option.

I recently published a deep-dive article with Stillwater Associates exploring the intricate world of the voluntary SAF market. While mandates create a floor for the industry, the voluntary market is where innovation happens. It’s where "Book and Claim" systems are being perfected and where corporate buyers are finding ways to address their Scope 3 emissions today.

In the piece, I break down:

• How the market has shifted from scarcity to a more complex, multi-registry landscape.
• The critical role of SAF Accounting standards and SAF registries, ensuring your investment actually drives new carbon reductions.
• Why working with an expert partner is essential to navigate pricing volatility and certification standards.

If you are looking to move your organization from a climate pledge to a concrete SAF purchase, this guide is a foundational starting point.
