Avelia pilot contributes to SFC framework Following the initial success of Avelia in the business travel sector , Shell Aviation is keen to expand its use to support the decarbonisation of air cargo .
Last year , Shell Aviation and KWE collaborated to test and accelerate the use of Smart Freight Centre ’ s ( SFC ) Market Based Measures Accounting Framework within air freight using Avelia ’ s SAF book-and-claim platform , which could prove pivotal to decarbonising the sector .
This saw Shell supply SAF at Singapore Changi Airport , before allocating the Scope 3 Declaration of Environmental Attributes ( DEAs ) associated with the physical SAF to KWE ’ s shipper through the Avelia platform . As a result , KWE ’ s shipper was in a position to adopt SAF and reduce the Scope 3 emissions associated with its air freight activity . Shell and KWE have worked together to test various aspects of the SAF book-and-claim guidelines , including carbon accounting and declaration .
“ Looking ahead , there is a real opportunity to deploy book-and-claim SAF solutions to air freight ,” says Karia .
“ We will be actively exploring opportunities to support that segment further . For instance , the pilot has provided a further proof point to support the development of Smart Freight Centre ’ s Voluntary Market Based Measures Framework for Logistics Emissions Accounting and Reporting .
“ As we continue to receive feedback , we can use this vital information to help refine and improve our customer solutions , while pushing forward the acceptance of a book-and-claim model within air freight and business travel .”
