The Energy Transition is underway, yet there are real challenges to the endeavour. The necessary, and welcome, incentives offered by governments to speed the transition and encourage innovation rely on a degree of traceability and verification that simply does not exist today, as it has not been necessary or even desirable in traditional hydrocarbon markets to date, save for in the aviation fuels space. Abuses, and even fraud, have already been seen. The challenge of establishing consensus standards, registries and the associated audit trails for the new products and their production is considerable. This article examines some possible solutions, drawing on examples from other sectors such as food and aviation Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) spare parts supply.

能源转型挑战——可追溯性和验证

能源转型正在进行中，但这项努力面临着真正的挑战。政府为加速转型和鼓励创新而提供的必要且受欢迎的激励措施依赖于一定程度的可追溯性和验证，而这在今天根本不存在，因为迄今为止传统的碳氢化合物市场没有必要甚至不需要，除了在航空燃料领域。已经看到滥用，甚至欺诈。为新产品及其生产建立共识标准、注册和相关审计追踪的挑战是相当大的。本文研究了一些可能的解决方案，并借鉴了食品和航空原始设备制造商 (OEM) 备件供应等其他行业的示例。
