Frequently asked questions

Book & claim - can carriers buy SAF without physical delivery?

Yes. Book-and-claim allows an airline (e.g. Lufthansa) to buy the environmental attribute of SAF delivered elsewhere (e.g. Neste's Singapore refinery to Cathay Pacific). Certificates trade on registries like RSB Book-and-Claim. Reduces physical logistics constraints but requires strong chain-of-custody audit.
