DSV has partnered with Microsoft, United Airlines, and Phillips 66 to secure 11 million gallons of sustainable aviation fuel. The deal uses a book-and-claim system, allowing Microsoft and DSV to claim emissions reductions while United Airlines physically utilizes the fuel. This collaboration aims to reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 100,000 metric tons. The transaction is verified by the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) to prevent double-counting and ensure feedstock sustainability.

The book and claim model is the only way this scales, but it always puts the spotlight on the registry. Good to see ISCC and the SAFc Registry involved here to keep the accounting honest.

100,000 metric tons sounds like a lot until you look at total aviation emissions. My question is about the feedstock. Phillips 66 has the assets, but are they using waste oils or first-gen crops?

Basically a big corporate consortium pooling demand to make the fuel producer feel safe about capacity. It is a standard move to lower the risk for the refinery.

True, but the scale is what matters. 11 million gallons is a significant chunk of contracted volume. The real test is if this triggers more refinery conversions.
