Context

Sustainable Aviation Fuel producers must calculate carbon intensity (CI) accurately for every batch, using feedstock properties, process parameters, and energy values. The SAF Carbon Intensity Advisor applies an AI‑first design—built through Microsoft Planner Designer—to compute CI scores, flag risks, and centralize results for sustainability teams. Trend visuals help teams track performance across batches and maintain clarity over shifting compliance expectations.

Challenges

CI evaluation often involves manual data checks, multiple spreadsheets, and fragmented evidence sources. This makes it difficult to identify high‑risk batches, ensure complete data inputs, or maintain consistent regulatory readiness. Sustainability, procurement, operations, and compliance reviewers each work with partial information, slowing verification and increasing the chance of overlooked compliance issues.

Solution

The advisor standardizes CI assessment using a structured model of requirements, roles, and data tables generated by Planner Designer. Copilot analyzes batch inputs, computes CI scores, flags compliance risks, and explains top contributors. A set of apps,CI calculator, approval hub, dashboards, and a grounded CI Copilo,—supports data entry, review, approvals, and executive oversight. Real‑time summaries, evidence checks, and trend dashboards ensure every batch is evaluated consistently, enabling faster decisions and improved sustainability governance.
