Electric Book & Claim, also known as EBC, is a future-facing alternative to SAF Book & Claim for electric aviation. It allows a buyer to support verified electric flight activity without needing to physically fly on the electric aircraft.

## Aerovolt And EBC

Aerovolt is relevant to Electric Book & Claim because aircraft charging infrastructure can provide useful evidence for electric aviation activity. Aerovolt-style charging data can include metered kWh, charging timestamps, charging location, aircraft/operator activity and platform records.

## Evidence Layer

An Electric Book & Claim record can be supported by charger identity, charging location, metered kWh, charge start and end times, aircraft identity, route data, CO2 output, EBC allocation, certificate status and payment status. This evidence layer helps make the claim traceable for operators, brokers, FBOs and certificate purchasers.

## Pricing

Indicative Electric Book & Claim pricing is between $500 and $675 depending on volume purchased.

Comparison:
- Electric Book & Claim: $500-$675 depending on volume.
- SAF Book & Claim: around $1000 per tonne on average.
- Physical SAF: $3000+ per tonne of CO2 saved.

## Purchase Process

The purchaser buys Electric Book & Claim through a charter broker, aircraft operator or FBO. The broker, operator or FBO handles sourcing, allocation, electric flight data and supporting evidence records. The purchaser should not need to manage charger data or operational records directly.

## Avoided CO2 Calculation

Avoided CO2 is calculated by comparing fossil aviation baseline emissions with electric charging emissions.

Core equations:
- CO2 avoided = fossil baseline CO2 - electric charging emissions.
- Jet fuel CO2 = fuel mass x 3.16.
- One litre of Jet A is approximately 2.5 kg CO2.

Indicative electric aircraft savings:
- 2-seat aircraft: 60 kg+ CO2/hour.
- 4-seat aircraft: 100-140 kg CO2/hour.
- 6-seat aircraft: 400 kg+ CO2/hour.
- 8-seat aircraft: 700 kg+ CO2/hour.
- 10-seat aircraft: 1000 kg+ CO2/hour.

## Electric Aircraft Examples

Electric aircraft and electric aviation examples include Bristell Energic, Pipistrel Velis Electro, BETA ALIA, Eviation Alice, Electra EL9 and Heart Aerospace ES-30. The Bristell Energic should be featured as a key electric light aircraft example.
