Sales of $460 million for sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) in 2022 are estimated to reach $17.8 billion by 2031, a 61% annual rate of compound growth, according to a recent report by Coherent Market Insights. The question is whether these new fuels can scale quickly enough for the aviation industry to emit net zero carbon in 15 years.

Pet food is a huge contributor to our animals’ planetary impact. Yes, we are talking about carbon pawprints 🐾 Data from the Netherlands in a 2019 study estimated the average pet dog’s carbon footprint at around 1.4 tonnes per year, with cats emitting around a quarter of a tonne. If the same carbon footprint applied to pets in the U.K., the impact on the country’s carbon emissions would clearly be significant: Industry association UK Pet Food estimates the country is home to 13.5 million dogs and 12.5 million cats. With the proliferation of plant-based offerings for human diets, pressure has been mounting on pet food brands to develop lower carbon alternatives for increasingly eco-conscious consumers, which has been driving greener product development across the sector. However, convincing cat and dog owners to put lower carbon options on the menu for their pets’ mealtimes is far from a walk in the park.

The voluntary carbon market has a trust problem. “It’s totally fair for the media and public to continually question the quality of credits that are issued,” said Alexander Rink, co-founder of market watcher CDR.fyi. “That is why it’s so important for there to be a higher level of scrutiny and transparency around them.” Isometric, a two-year-old carbon registry that counts JPMorganChase, Shopify and Stripe among early customers, is proposing a solution. Isometric offers monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) services to authenticate credits generated by nascent approaches to durable carbon removal, including direct air capture, biomass with carbon removal and storage, and enhanced rock weathering. Its approach is unique, among other things, for its payment model: Buyers pay a flat fee to Isometric that is built into carbon removal purchase contracts. “This is too important to get wrong, but there’s a lot to get right,” said Eamon Jubbawy, founder and CEO of Isometric. “We publish everything hyper transparently and invite people to look at it.” Article by Heather Clancy: https://buff.ly/3Z1krBW

Survey results are in: Sustainability can deliver great value through improved perceptions and relationships such as enhancing the company’s brand and reputation. However, it can repeat a pattern where sustainability teams are asked to focus mainly on reputational areas. If sustainability teams are expected to manage reputation without influencing core operations, this can lead to accusations of limited progress and greenwashing.

Government incentives, bulk purchases by airline giants and support from corporations with jet-setting employees are attempting to rev up the market for sustainable aviation fuel, which has suffered from a lack of supply.

It is *shockingly difficult* to high-five with one hand while recording it with the other. 🤳 One of the things I (Jane, social media coordinator 👋) am looking forward to at #VERGE24 (Oct. 29-31, San Jose) is continuing this fun high-five tradition with Pete May, Trellis co-founder and board member. What's the *very best* thing about VERGE? The people. The fact that we're all climate tech nerds is the cherry on top.🍒 🔗 Reconnect with your network (and your nerdwork) at VERGE 24: https://buff.ly/4bhglIc
