On March 18, Jet Zero Australia Pty Ltd and Trovio Operating Pty Ltd announced that they have entered a strategic partnership to design and develop the ‘Book and Claim’ Registry for Australian sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel (RD).
The registry will support the capture and retention of provenance data throughout the supply chain to meet the required standards for the issuance and retirement of SAF credits (SAFc) and SAF End-User Reduction credits (SERc).
The platform and functional design will be powered by Trovio’s advanced technology CorTenX, which was also selected by the Australian Government’s Clean Energy Regulator (CER) for a new unit & certificate Register for the Australian National Registry of Emissions Units (ANREU).

CorTenX is a purpose-built Environmental Registry Solution. The platform is built API first, allowing for seamless integration with relevant external stakeholders including exchanges and other venues.
The register is targeting to be live with a fully operational and integrated platform for the creation, issuance, data retention and transacting of SERc and SAFc credits prior to the completion of Jet Zero Australia’s first SAF project, Project Ulysses in North Queensland.

Neste has started producing SAF at its renewable products refinery in Rotterdam. The refinery has been modified to enable Neste to produce up to 500,000 tons of SAF per year. Neste’s global SAF production capacity is now 1.5 million tons.
Jet Zero Australia Pty Ltd has announced a FEED contract with Technip Energies and continuation of the owner’s engineering services contract with Long Energy & Resources for an ethanol-to-SAF project that will use LanzaJet technology.
Tidewater Renewables Ltd. has reported that its biorefinery in Prince George, British Columbia, operated at 88% capacity last year. A final investment decision on the company’s proposed SAF project is expected by year end.
BDI-BioEnergy International has signed a contract with Ghent Renewables BV to begin the construction of a pioneering biofuel feedstock refinery plant. Construction is underway and the facility is expected to be operational by the end of 2025.
Verity Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of Gevo Inc., has partnered with Minnesota Soybean Processors (MnSP) to implement Verity’s proprietary track and trace software. The collaboration aims to unlock additional value through export premiums.
