April 4, 2024 – HOUSTON – World Fuel Services (World Fuel), a World Kinect (NYSE: WKC) company, announces that the company and its affiliates have received Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) and EU trader certifications from the International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) System as well as CORSIA, Global, and Book & Claim certifications from the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB). World Fuel is now ISCC and RSB accredited in the United States, Singapore and across all locations in Europe where renewable fuel is sold. World Fuel plans to continue expanding its certifications throughout its global network.

ISCC is an independent, globally recognized sustainability certification scheme that verifies whether products like renewable fuels meet certain standards and eligibility requirements, such as the European Commission’s sustainability criteria for biofuels and bioliquids set out in the Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) and the United Kingdom under the renewable fuel obligation, as well as the requirements for CORSIA eligible fuels set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). To obtain ISCC certification, organizations must undergo a rigorous process to ensure renewable fuels, like Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and marine biofuels, are fully traceable, deforestation-free and supplied via climate[1]friendly supply chains. Through the ISCC certification process, World Fuel can not only ensure that the renewable fuels it distributes meet specific sustainability requirements, but it can also provide customers with the documentation necessary to demonstrate compliance.

“The ISCC certification system plays an important role in enhancing the traceability of sustainable attributes by providing a framework of standards which anyone in the supply chain can rely on to be confident in the status of renewable fuels,” said Mike Ranger, senior vice president, supply – EMEA and Asia, World Fuel Services. “We believe that obtaining ISCC certifications is another critical step for us to accelerate the development of lower carbon fuel alternatives for our customers as we collectively strive to achieve decarbonization goals and targets.”

Like the ISCC, RSB has also established a sustainability framework against which it offers certification verifying the integrity of low-carbon products, materials and fuels. World Fuel is now RSB CORSIA certified and has received RSB Global and RSB Book & Claim certifications at its locations offering SAF throughout the globe. As a trader of RSB-certified fuels, World Fuel is one of the few logistics providers who can ensure the fuel is certified from when it is picked up at the producer’s gate to when it is delivered into the wing.

“We eagerly embrace status as a certified trader and our membership in RSB, collaborating with our fellow industry partners to contribute to the development of impactful decarbonization standards and policies,” said Brad Hurwitz, senior vice president, supply and trading, World Fuel Services. “As a worldwide provider and distributor of energy solutions, we’ve been actively advancing decarbonization efforts, expanding our range of supply services to encompass renewable fuels for aviation, marine and land transportation applications. RSB stands at the forefront of shaping decarbonization policies, and we’re excited about the opportunity to collaborate, propelling us closer to the shared goal of achieving net zero emissions.”

As a leader in the distribution of sustainable fuel products and services, ensuring the integrity and traceability of the products and supply chains is critical. Receiving ISCC and RSB trader certification demonstrates World Fuel’s commitment to helping customers reliably meet their decarbonization goals.

Paul Cremer

My name is Paul Cremer, and this marks my 42nd year working within the business and general aviation industry. Over this time, I’ve had the privilege of overseeing a diverse array of sector activities, ranging from aircraft charter and management to air ambulance services, ground operations, air traffic control, airport management, technology implementation, and the outsourcing services I currently manage.

In my role focused on delivering advisory, technology, and outsourcing services to aviation customers, I handle a wide spectrum of responsibilities. This includes overseeing International Trip Support, Operations Control Centre Services (OCC), Continuing Airworthiness Management Service (CAMO), Airworthiness Reviews, ARC Services, Aircraft Delivery and Re-delivery Support Services, Maintenance Coordination Services including AOG, Tech Ops (Maintenance Control Centre), and managing myairops software products. As the Head of Aviation Delivery, I lead the customer-facing delivery of Technology & Outsourcing products and services for the market, drawing upon a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and industry connections within Gama Aviation’s Technology and Outsourcing Strategic Business Unit.

My journey into Business and General Aviation began during my teenage years while still in school. I was fortunate enough to be welcomed into the industry, starting at a flying club, and later working at the Air Traffic Services Unit at Blackbushe Airport. There, I maintained the ATC Movement Logs in the Control Tower during weekends, solidifying my passion for aviation. Upon completing my schooling, I seized opportunities at Fairoaks Airport, where I began as Ground Crew while pursuing my Aerodrome Flight Information Service Officer’s license. Advancements in my career led me to the role of Air Traffic Services Manager.

Since joining Gama Aviation in 1996, I’ve held various positions, including Operations Manager (Post Holder), Operations & Commercial Manager, Commercial Manager, Operations Delivery Manager, Head of Business Aviation Delivery, and currently, Head of Aviation Delivery. This role encompasses Gama Aviation Group’s Gama Aviation, myairops, and FlyerTech companies.

In 2023, I was honoured to be invited to serve as the Chair of the Operations Working Group for the British Business & General Aviation Association. This opportunity allows me to contribute to industry initiatives within BBGA’s membership of nearly 200 industry companies, focusing on challenges such as regulatory compliance, Air Services Agreements, technological advancements, workforce development, operational matters, and sustainability.

Marc Bailey

Marc Bailey has spent his entire career in aviation and has worked in most areas of Aviation Services with scheduled airlines, MRO’s, military contract support and latterly with associations, government, and its agencies.

Marc represents your position in Europe (even post Brexit) – as President of ECOGAS (European Council of General Aviation Support) which maintains a voice with EASA. All the major member states are represented on the ECOGAS board. With EASA restructuring its meetings with industry, ECOGAS is now well positioned to represent our position in all areas following industry partnerships with the European Independent Maintenance Group and with ARPAS the new drone and autonomous association.

Marc is chair of the UKASF (United Kingdom Airworthiness Strategic Forum) as part of an initiative to develop Aviation Services across all aviation activities. The UKASF pulls together airlines, MROs, Rotary, Drones, and commercial GA bodies to work with CAA and DfT. The objective is for industry to take the lead to drive strategic issues to benefit all parties. We are well positioned after four years to continue our good work and with the re-established role of Chief Surveyor in the CAA we have a good focal point to do this.

Marc chairs the CAA Finance and Services Forum which allows industry in the UK to discuss in the financial plans for the CAA and the value for money delivered by those funds paid by industry. This is a new and valuable new platform for all parties.

Under recent developments Marc has formed an alliance with, ARPAS, AOPA, BHA and BBGA so that we can strengthen our voice under a joint ‘GA 4 Biz’ banner. This alliance is working to do everything possible to represent the industry’s business interests with UK government and to help realise the Government’s desire to make UK General Aviation a Global Leader in a post Brexit environment.

The next Generation initiatives with industry and government have continued to develop with the retention platform now evolving into the “Aviation Skills Recruitment Platform”. The platform now not only offers a vehicle for those offering and seeking posts in aviation, it also provides pathways with its TalentView portion seeking to provide pathways for new entrants into our sector. The recruitment platform is being further developed to include training opportunities across a wide range of providers, from government agencies through academic bodies. Getting our next generation activities right in the UK over the next couple of years is our single most important issue which we in aviation must grab with both hands. Marc is playing a central role to help develop many of these channels.
