Turn validated fuel positions into auditable compliance claims

A Proof of Sustainability (PoS) verifies the sustainability characteristics of a fuel. A Proof of Compliance (PoC) documents how that fuel is allocated against a specific regulatory obligation. FuelFWD enables users to allocate validated sustainable fuel positions to compliance schemes, generating traceable, scheme specific PoC records protected against double claiming.

The gap

What the rule asks for vs. what spreadsheets deliver

What it requires

Generate scheme-correct PoC for your customers, the obligation holders.

A Proof of Sustainability (PoS) verifies the sustainability characteristics of a fuel batch. A Proof of Compliance (PoC) is the document that records how that batch is allocated to a specific regulatory obligation, and is delivered to your customer, who is typically the obligation holder. They use the PoC to file their own claim with the relevant authority. FuelFWD generates these PoC documents directly from your allocated fuel positions: scheme-correct, double-counting prevented, linked back to the source PoS. The document is ready for transfer to your customer the moment the allocation is confirmed.

  • Allocation of certified fuel volumes to specific compliance schemes
  • Prevention of double claiming across customers or obligations
  • Traceability from compliance claim back to the original PoS
  • Auditable evidence of how compliance value was created and assigned
Why spreadsheets fail

How compliance claiming breaks down without a dedicated system

In most organisations, sustainability documentation and compliance allocations are managed in separate spreadsheets and email chains. This creates fragmented audit trails and significant operational risk. Without system-level controls, traceability becomes difficult to prove and double claiming becomes difficult to detect.

  • The same fuel volume being allocated to multiple obligations or counterparties
  • Manual interpretation of scheme eligibility rules across EU and national mandates
  • Disconnected records between PoS documents, allocations, and downstream claims
  • Multi-day audit preparation to reconstruct the allocation history of a single compliance claim

How FuelFWD generates Proof of Compliance

Three capabilities that bridge the gap between sustainable fuel inventory and auditable regulatory claims.

Allocation engine with scheme eligibility

FuelFWD validates whether a PoS is eligible for the selected compliance scheme, then allocates volume from inventory to the claim. Scheme rules are enforced at the point of allocation, not discovered later.

Double-counting prevention

Once a volume is allocated to a compliance claim, it is locked and cannot be re-allocated to another scheme or obligation. Every claimed volume has a single, traceable destination.

PoC record generation and audit trail

FuelFWD generates a Proof of Compliance record showing fuel volume, GHG value, scheme, obligation holder, and claim status, and links it permanently to the underlying PoS and mass balance entries.

Questions about Proof of Compliance

A Proof of Sustainability (PoS) verifies the sustainability characteristics of a fuel batch: what the fuel is. A Proof of Compliance (PoC) records how that fuel was allocated to a specific regulatory obligation. The PoC is delivered to your customer, who uses it to file their own compliance claim.
FuelFWD generates Proof of Compliance documents from your allocated fuel positions. The PoC is delivered to your customer (the obligation holder), who files their claim with the relevant authority. We handle scheme-correct formatting (ISCC, REDcert, 2BSvs), prevent double-counting, and link every PoC back to its source PoS.
Common frameworks include EU and national compliance mandates across the countries you operate in. The PoC carries the data needed for these claims; the specific submission is your customer’s responsibility under their obligation.
Allocated volumes are locked in the inventory the moment they’re assigned to a PoC. The platform checks available position before any new allocation is confirmed and rejects requests that would exceed the open balance.
Yes. PoC records can be exported in structured format including the claim details, GHG calculation, linked PoS references, and the full allocation chain. Ready to send to your customer.
