There are four types of accounts on the SAFc registry.

### &#x20;:fuelpump: Fuel provider holding account (FPHA):&#x20;

FPHA are for companies that produce or trade in SAF.

**Unique abilities:**

The FPHA is the only type of account that can issue new SAF certificates (SAFc). It cannot retire SAFc.&#x20;

### :airplane\_departure: Air transport provider holding account (ATPHA)

The ATPHA is for companies that provide aviation services for passengers and/or freight, and includes airlines, freight carriers, and private aircraft operators.

**Unique abilities:**

The ATPHA is the only type of account that can retire Type 1 SAFcA. Other accounts must retire a SAFcA on behalf of a specific ATPHA, and this can only be completed if the ATPHA accepts the retirement.

### :office: General holding account (GHA)

This account is intended for companies that would like to handle and retire SAFc to make climate disclosures.

### :telephone\_receiver: Logistics provider holding account (LPHA)

The LPHA is for companies that arrange aviation services on behalf of corporate end-users of freight transport (that is, freight forwarders) or corporate flight bookings (that is, travel agencies).&#x20;

**Unique abilities:**

When a LPHA retires a SAFcE on behalf of one of their customers, they are also mentioned in the retirement table.
