Article 18 Issue of SAF certificates
Where each of the requirements in article 16(1) to (3) has been met, the Administrator must issue a SAF certificate to a supplier for each unit of applicable sustainable aviation fuel.
For the purposes of paragraph (1), units of applicable sustainable aviation fuel are determined by dividing the notional amount of that fuel, determined in accordance with article 4(4), by the lower heating value of aviation turbine fuel.
A SAF certificate must be issued as soon as reasonably practicable after an application for it has been made in accordance with article 16.
Each SAF certificate must specify to which of the following type of sustainable aviation fuel the certificate relates—
sustainable aviation fuel derived from segregated oils and fats;
power-to-liquid aviation fuel; or
sustainable aviation fuel of a type not falling within sub-paragraphs (a) or (b).
For the purposes of section 127(2)(d) of the 2004 Act, “the other specified facts” are that the supplier has notified the Administrator of each of the matters listed in section 127(2)(a) to (c).
For the purposes of this Order, the Administrator issues a SAF certificate to a supplier by recording the credit of a SAF certificate in the SAF account of the supplier.
As soon as reasonably practicable after issuing a SAF certificate, the Administrator must notify the supplier of the issue of the certificate, and of the date and time of issue.
As soon as reasonably practicable after receiving a request for the information from an account holder, the Administrator must inform the account holder of the number of SAF certificates (if any) held to the credit of that account holder’s SAF account, and of the date and time of issue of those certificates.
