Aerovolt has signed its first business aviation customers to Electric Book & Claim (EBC), a new carbon‑accounting model designed to bring greater accuracy and transparency to the sector’s sustainability reporting.
The system adapts the long‑established Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Book & Claim mechanism, but applies it directly to electric aircraft operations instead of fuel production.
Early adopters include Oxygen Aviation, Oriens Aviation, SaxonAir and AV8JET, all integrating EBC into their ESG strategies alongside existing SAF products.
Traditional Book & Claim separates the environmental benefit of SAF from the physical fuel, allowing buyers to purchase verified emissions savings even if the fuel is used elsewhere. However, this can add storage and transport costs and often prevents operators from claiming the reductions directly.
Aerovolt’s electric version aims to streamline the process. Through the company’s charging network and digital platform, emissions reductions are tied to measurable electric flight activity — including flight hours, energy use and charging events — creating what Aerovolt describes as a fully integrated “digital fuel platform” .
After a year of development, the company says the model offers a more accurate link between verified reductions and real‑world operations, while reducing cost for operators compared with SAF Book & Claim.
Oxygen Aviation’s Rod Glassford called EBC “a logical step” for the sector, noting that it helps clients meet carbon‑reduction goals while supporting the rollout of electric‑flight charging infrastructure and delivering “significant cost savings”.
With business aviation under mounting pressure to demonstrate credible decarbonisation pathways, Aerovolt believes EBC will allow brokers, operators and FBOs to integrate electric‑aviation solutions into their sustainability strategies in the same way SAF Book & Claim has been adopted across the industry.
