"The gap between SAF regulation and SAF infrastructure is widening, not closing." — Puja Mahajan, CEO of Azzera
Azzera and Energy Web have announced integration of the Energy Web Verified Compute Cloud into Azzera’s SAF Proof Of Delivery platform, giving operators SAF compliance claims any auditor or regulator can independently re-trace. The Energy Web Verified Compute Cloud produces tamper-proof records of every calculation, so results can be confirmed without trusting the system that generated them. For operators, weeks of audit prep become evidence verifiable on demand.
As ReFuelEU Aviation, EU ETS, UK ETS, and ICAO CORSIA push sustainable aviation fuel from voluntary to mandatory, operators face a problem regulation did not solve: turning multi-format Proofs of Compliance from fuel suppliers into auditable emissions claims. Administrative effort returns less per claim as SAF grows; infrastructure has lagged.

"We built SAF POD because the gap between SAF regulation and SAF infrastructure was widening, not closing," said Puja Mahajan, CEO of Azzera. "Operators were being asked to substantiate emissions claims with tools built for invoicing. SAF POD treats compliance as a data problem and solves it at the data layer."
The integration follows a joint pilot targeting three weaknesses in SAF claims: evidence not uniquely identifiable across documents, emission factors and formulas that cannot be independently re-traced, and calculations auditors cannot deterministically re-run. The Energy Web Verified Compute solves all three.
"Trust and transparency are foundational to scaling sustainable aviation fuel markets," said Katy Lohmann, CCO, Energy Web. "Our collaboration with Azzera demonstrates how trusted digital infrastructure and verifiable computing can help establish confidence in SAF-related data, compliance processes, and environmental claims. Together, we are helping to build the digital foundations necessary for aviation's decarbonization journey."
Two leading 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.
For operators reporting under ReFuelEU, EU ETS, UK ETS, and CORSIA: fewer manual reconciliations, lower disqualification risk, and FEETS-eligible claims from verified data. The beta program is now open to ten operators, two months, no cost. Contact Azzera to join.
