Maritime carbon cost reduction
Maritime Compliance Solutions
The global economy is underpinned by maritime transport with more than 80% of global trade by volume being transported by sea. The substantial trade volume, extensive voyage distances, and expanding global energy demand, and accompanying fuel transport, results in maritime transport accounting for approximately 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Shipping companies now face two direct maritime carbon costs on every voyage: EU ETS allowance purchases and FuelEU Maritime penalties. That makes maritime carbon cost reduction a commercial priority. For LNG-powered fleets, Bio-LNG is one of the most practical tools for EU ETS shipping compliance and FuelEU Maritime compliance.

FAQs on Maritime Compliance
FAQs on Maritime Compliance
Why are maritime carbon costs rising under EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime?
Shipping companies now face two separate cost pressures: EU ETS allowance purchases for covered emissions and FuelEU Maritime penalties when annual GHG intensity misses the target. That is why fuel choice now has a direct impact on EU ETS shipping compliance, not just voyage economics.

How does Bio-LNG reduce EU ETS costs?
EU ETS increases the cost of higher-emissions operations because shipping companies must surrender allowances for covered emissions. For LNG-powered vessels, certified Bio-LNG can lower verified emissions exposure and reduce the number of allowances needed.

How does Bio-LNG support FuelEU Maritime compliance?
FuelEU Maritime measures the annual GHG intensity of energy used on board on a well-to-wake basis. Properly certified Bio-LNG can improve that compliance balance, lower penalty risk, and support a stronger fuel strategy.

Can LNG-powered vessels use Bio-LNG?
Yes. Bio-LNG is used as a drop-in renewable alternative for LNG-fuelled vessels, which makes it one of the most practical near-term compliance options for existing LNG infrastructure. That matters because it allows operators to reduce carbon costs without waiting for a full propulsion shift.

What is FuelEU pooling?
FuelEU pooling is a flexibility mechanism that allows the over-compliance of one ship to compensate for the under-performance of another, as long as the total pool remains positive. In practice, that can help deficit vessels avoid penalties while allowing surplus vessels to monetize over-compliance.

What certification matters for Bio-LNG in maritime compliance?
Certification matters because renewable fuels must meet sustainability and traceability rules to count properly under the EU framework. Proof of Sustainability and recognized voluntary certification schemes help demonstrate that Bio-LNG meets the required criteria.
