Azzera has added functionality to its Celeste sustainable aviation software to help aircraft operators track and manage their inventory of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The new module announced yesterday accurately shows how much SAF is uplifted, including where it was bought and stored and which flights were flown with it.
The addition to Celeste supports SAF book-and-claim transactions, aggregating demand for the reduced-carbon fuel and providing SAF certificates to log purchases on each operator’s interface. According to the Swiss-based company, the system will reduce errors in calculating fuel inventories and make tasks more straightforward for operators’ compliance managers.
Four business aircraft operators—Metrojet, ASL Group, Elit’Avia, and Axis Aviation—have been making early use of these SAF inventory management and tracking tools. The platform can be integrated with other flight scheduling software to process real-time data for carbon dioxide emissions calculations.
Celeste can perform calculations to meet the varying requirements of different jurisdictions in the carbon compliance market. These include the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) and the regional emissions trading systems enforced by the European Union, Switzerland, and UK.
“The European fleet makes up about 15% of the world’s business aviation fleet, and the vast majority of Europe’s operators are counting emissions—the mandates are driving this—and increasingly operators worldwide are voluntarily monitoring emissions, too,” said Azzera founder and CEO Puja Mahajan.
