Azzera, Energy Web add verifiable computing to SAF compliance platform

Azzera and Energy Web said June 25, 2026, that they are integrating Verified Compute into Azzera’s SAF Proof of Delivery platform to make sustainable aviation fuel claims auditable on demand. The move targets a growing compliance burden for airlines facing ReFuelEU Aviation, EU ETS, UK ETS and ICAO CORSIA requirements.

Why it matters: - Sustainable aviation fuel is moving from a voluntary goal to a regulated compliance issue across Europe and global aviation markets. - Airlines and operators need claims they can defend to auditors and regulators without weeks of manual reconciliation. - The integration is meant to lower the risk that SAF documentation, emissions calculations or audit packages get rejected.

What happened: - Azzera and Energy Web announced the integration of Verified Compute into the SAF Proof of Delivery platform. - The announcement was made June 25, 2026, in Zurich. - The companies said the setup gives operators SAF compliance claims that any auditor or regulator can independently retrace. - Verified Compute creates tamper-proof records of calculations so results can be checked without trusting the system that produced them.

The details: - The integration is aimed at operators working under ReFuelEU Aviation, EU ETS, UK ETS and ICAO CORSIA. - The companies said the compliance challenge comes from turning multi-format proofs of compliance from fuel suppliers into auditable emissions claims. - The joint pilot focused on three weaknesses in SAF claims: evidence that is not uniquely identifiable across documents, emission factors and formulas that cannot be independently retraced, and calculations that auditors cannot deterministically rerun. - Azzera said weeks of audit preparation can become evidence that is verifiable on demand. - Puja Mahajan, CEO of Azzera, said SAF POD was built because the gap between SAF regulation and SAF infrastructure is widening. - Anant Jain, chief operating officer at Azzera, said the administrative cost of claiming SAF incentives is one of the largest hidden bottlenecks to SAF demand. - Katy Lohmann, CCO of Energy Web, said trusted digital infrastructure and verifiable computing can help build confidence in SAF-related data, compliance processes and environmental claims.

Between the lines: - The release frames SAF compliance as a data infrastructure problem, not just a reporting problem. - That matters because as SAF use grows, the work required to prove each claim can rise unless the underlying verification process becomes more automated and standardized. - The pilot also suggests airlines and verifiers are trying to move verification earlier in the workflow, rather than fixing problems after an audit starts. - Two European aviation emissions verifiers, Normec Verifavia and ETS Verification GmbH, joined the pilot to shape verification logic, evidence packages and auditor access protocols inside SAF POD.

What's next: - Azzera said a beta program is open to 10 operators for two months at no cost. - Operators can contact Azzera to join. - The companies said the system is designed to produce FEETS-eligible claims from verified data. - Azzera said its CELESTE platform already supports 45+ operators and 700+ aircraft tails across Europe and North America, with tracking for 500,000+ flights and 5 million tonnes of emissions. - Energy Web said it will continue building open-source digital infrastructure for trusted data exchange, digital identity and verifiable computing in energy and environmental markets.

The bottom line: - Azzera and Energy Web are trying to make SAF compliance easier to prove, not just easier to claim.
