Weston Aviation has achieved International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) for ISCC EU, enabling the company to issue Proof of Compliance (PoC) documentation to fuel customers for all purchases from September 22 onwards.
The certification ensures full traceability of sustainable aviation fuel throughout the supply chain. According to Weston Aviation, the company maintains a management system designed to guarantee traceability of sustainable material and accurate application of the mass balance approach.
All biomass and waste-based fuels supplied comply with ISCC sustainability criteria, including land use restrictions, biodiversity protection, greenhouse gas emissions reduction and respect for human and labor rights. Internal procedures include regular audits, staff training and data verification processes.
“As the ISCC auditor for Weston Aviation, it was great to see the team’s clear commitment to sustainability and transparency,” said Jack Boyle, head of operations at EnviroSense International. “Their proactive approach to compliance and traceability really highlights their dedication to driving progress in the use of sustainable aviation fuel.”
Since January 1, all jet fuel across the UK and Union airports within Ireland contains a minimum blend of two percent SAF calculated on a mass balance basis. Weston Aviation requires ISCC certification to trade PoCs, which are provided by ISCC certified suppliers detailing the SAF blend supplied and which operators require for reclaiming under offset schemes.
Ruth Tootill, aviation fuel manager at Weston Aviation, explained how the certification maintains chain of custody. “The benefit for Weston Aviation becoming ISCC certified is so that we do not break the chain of custody, so that where our ISCC certified supplier provides a PoC for SAF, we offer traceability by passing our own PoC on to our customers,” said Tootill. “It also demonstrates our commitment to our customers and suppliers to support the progress of sustainability in aviation fuels.”
