Sustainable Aviation Fuel:
A key component to reducing aviation emissions
SAF is an industry term used to reference an alternative aviation fuel and is a type of non-conventional jet fuel made from resources that can be continually replenished, also known as sustainable feedstocks. It is chemically similar to conventional aviation fuel but comes from non-fossil sources, making it a lower-carbon alternative on a lifecycle basis. SAF can be produced from a variety of alternative materials without necessarily depleting natural resources. Some bio-based materials it can be made from include cooking oil, animal waste fat and agricultural or forestry residues. SAF is compatible with existing airport infrastructure and aircraft, making it a safe ‘drop-in’ alternative to conventional aviation fuel.

What are SAF Environmental Attributes or SAF Attributes?
Environmental attributes associated with SAF or SAF attributes refer to the reduced environmental impacts of using SAF, such as the GHG emissions avoided by not extracting non-renewable resources like crude oil (used to make conventional aviation-fuel). These environmental attributes result from Air Canada using SAF instead of conventional aviation fuel.
How does my contribution support SAF?
Under this Offer, half of your contribution goes directly towards the purchase of SAF. Your contribution to SAF supports Air Canada’s long-term aspiration of net-zero GHG emissions by 2050, and helps reduce reliance on conventional aviation fuel over time. For more information, refer to . These environmental attributes are retired on your behalf. Environmental attributes associated with SAF that are purchased are tracked, verified by an independent third party and retired. Retiring environmental attributes associated with SAF prevents these from being resold or otherwise used a second time.
This SAF Environmental Attributes Offer 2025 is provided by Air Canada’s collaborator, Chooose AS. Chooose builds software to enable the lower carbon fuel value chain. Leading companies in aviation and freight use the Chooose platform to operate and scale their SAF programs, and to advance voluntary and compliance carbon initiatives. For more information, visit .
