Sustainable aviation fuel certificates (SAFc) can help drive demand for sustainable aviation if users of SAFc understand how it works, what it represents and are confident of its long-term credibility. The aim of the SAFc Registry is to create the consistency, transparency, and auditability of SAF certificates that is necessary to build trust, scale SAFc uptake, and signal strong demand signal for new SAF supply.

Project EDGE and Symphony are collaborative projects of AEMO, Australian aggregators, and DNSPs with funding support from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), to demonstrate how to facilitate efficient and scalable trade of distributed energy services (at both wholesale and local levels), so that the value of DER integration can be maximised for all energy consumers.
Energy Web, Volkswagen Group Innovation and Elli developed a new smart charging solution enabling EV owners to charge their vehicles with renewable electricity that is matched directly with the vehicle’s real-time electricity consumption. The solution relies on “24/7” matching algorithm which optimizes charging to maximize the use of clean, locally sourced electricity and provides users with an unprecedented level of control and granularity over EV charging. Through the solution, users can dictate the date and time of charging, the desired level of charge by the end of their session, what and the renewable energy facility the electricity is drawn from. Several VW ID4s were successfully charged with local clean energy consumption, over the span of 3 months.
In light of increasing interest for highly granular renewables accounting and sourcing, Energy Web (EW) in cooperation with Elia, SB Energy, and Shell developed a 24/7 software toolkit, EW’s first set of open-source software development kit (SDK) to track and match renewable electricity generation and consumption on a 24/7 level.
Avelia is one of the world’s first blockchain-powered digital sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)* book-and-claim solutions for business travel. The pilot phase of the programme aims to demonstrate the credibility of the book-and-claim model, using Energy Web blockchain technology to ensure secured allocation of SAF’s environmental attributes to companies and airlines after the fuel has been delivered into the fuel network. With Avelia, airlines and business customers could simultaneously reduce emissions in their respective scopes, while ensuring transparency and accountability by avoiding issues such as double-counting. Developed by Shell and Accenture, with the support of the Energy Web Foundation (EWF), Avelia includes Amex GBT’s world-leading travel management services to aggregate global business demand for SAF, which will increase SAF supply and use and help accelerate the aviation industry’s pathway towards net-zero emissions.
Vodafone Business and EW created a new partnership to help improve the integration of renewable and distributed energy assets within power grids using secure IoT connectivity and blockchain technology. The partnership will combine SIM-centric blockchain technology (SCB) with IoT connectivity from Vodafone Business to create secure IDs for energy assets on the EnergyWeb Chain. This means that renewable and distributed assets like wind turbines, batteries, heat pumps, and solar panels can be integrated with energy grids safely and efficiently."
This proof of concept established that a decentralized platform can allow customer-sited energy assets (e.g., battery storage systems) to offer their flexibility into a frequency market, be activated when called on, deliver flexibility when activated, and be compensated for any flexibility provided.
EasyBat is an open-source solution for decentralized lifecycle battery asset management. The solution is built on the Energy Web Decentralized Operating System (EW-DOS) open-source technology stack and focuses on the entire battery lifecycle. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors, installers, and accredited inspection and certification organizations issue and verify every relevant asset transaction. The fact that all these entities work together on a shared decentralized ecosystem is an important and never-seen-before innovation. Partners involve Bebat, the Belgian battery compliance scheme and Fluvius, the electricity and natural gas distribution system operator (DSO) for the Flemish Region of Belgium.
Germany’s federal energy agency, Deutsche Energie-Agentur (DENA), has selected Energy Web to design and construct a digital registry for distributed energy resources (DERs) across the country in partnership with more than 20 industry players. The project will enable energy assets in Germany, such as thermostats, solar PV systems, batteries, and electric vehicle charging stations to undertake automatic registration with a decentralized ledger of identities, allowing their utilisation by the German grid for a range of services such as virtual power plants and frequency regulation.
The ElectraFlex project is focusing on the deployment of a digital platform that will allow Electra Caldense to utilize the flexible capacity of assets connected to their electricity network. ElectraFlex is the world’s first decentralized flexibility platform tailored for the specific needs of a distribution system operator (DSO). The multi-faceted flexibility platform is using Energy Web’s EW-DOS technology stack to assign digital identities to all connected assets and flexibility market participants, allowing them to self-register in energy markets, and offer services to Electra Caldense as well as the Spanish transmission system operator (REE) on behalf of their owners.
An open platform to simplify identifying electric vehicles and charge points, through digital identities on the Energy Web Chain, which enables all parties to get trustworthy, live and historic data from devices, improving green electricity purchasing and enabling the emergence of other energy services and opportunities for owners and energy companies
ReBeam integrates all the different parties typically involved in an EV charging session, including transmission system operators (TSOs), distribution system operators (DSOs), charge point operators (CPOs), and more. The outcome of cross-market interconnectivity is that end-users will be able to choose the electricity supplier of their choice at any participating public charging station, simplifying the EV charging process and maximizing choice for EV owners. All of this works without users having to sign multiple contracts or rely on different third-party service providers.
