Alkagesta Secures ISCC CORSIA Certification

Alkagesta, a global commodity trading house, has been awarded ISCC CORSIA certification. This certification allows the company to trade and supply Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) that aligns with international aviation sustainability standards.

The certification positions Alkagesta to support airlines in fulfilling their compliance obligations under the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). This framework, overseen by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), ensures that SAF meets specific lifecycle greenhouse gas reduction criteria.

Achieving this certification reflects the company's continued development in biofuels activities and its focus on structured, compliant market participation. The certification establishes a clear chain of custody and traceability throughout the supply process, assisting counterparties in meeting both international and regional SAF requirements.

The global aviation sector is progressing into a more advanced phase of emissions monitoring and compliance. Initiatives such as ReFuelEU Aviation in Europe introduce mandatory SAF blending thresholds, while the gradual phase-out of free allowances under the EU Emissions Trading System underscores the economic importance of sustainable fuel adoption.

CORSIA certification contributes to a more harmonised compliance environment, fostering transparency and consistency across international SAF markets. Alkagesta aims to support the broader transition towards lower-carbon aviation solutions through its sustainable fuels capabilities.

Established in Malta in 2018, Alkagesta specialises in petroleum, steel products, fertilisers, and biofuels. The company operates globally with 17 offices and representations, trading across 42 countries and facilitating over 7 million metric tons of commodity flows annually.

Its logistics network includes access to more than 700,000 cubic meters of storage capacity across Europe and Asia. Alkagesta provides integrated trading capabilities, covering sourcing, storage, and delivery, supported by risk management, compliance, and governance frameworks.
