Master Regulatory Mapping (v1.7)

Liquids, Gas, and Energy From Source to End Use

WHY IS THIS HERE? Flows3 signed batch records — volume, purity, and lifecycle GHG intensity — map to the regulations that determine whether energy commodities cross borders, qualify for tax credits, and access transition markets. CBAM embedded carbon, RED III biofuel sustainability, MARPOL sulphur compliance, and CORSIA SAF eligibility are all batch-level evidence requirements. Sign your batch once. Meet multiple frameworks.
