Maritime carbon cost reduction
Bio-LNG for Maritime Compliance
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. As a certified drop-in fuel for this fleet, Bio-LNG cuts EU ETS and FuelEU compliance costs, no new vessel technology required.

Maritime Emissions and the Compliance Landscape
New compliance costs are reshaping maritime economics. Shipping companies now operate under dual carbon pricing:
EU ETS allowance purchases at 100% surrender since January 2026, including methane
FuelEU penalty payments of approximately €2,400 per tonne of energy missing the GHG intensity target since 2025
Every voyage now carries measurable exposure to EU ETS and FuelEU costs. Bio-LNG is one of the most effective tools available for LNG-powered fleets to reduce that exposure while unlocking monetizable compliance value.

With proper certification, Bio-LNG can reduce lifecycle emissions by up to ~80% compared to fossil LNG, while integrating seamlessly with existing LNG vessel infrastructure. Bio-LNG with a negative carbon intensity, such as that derived from manure feedstocks, can generate compliance surplus for pooling with conventionally fueled vessels. This requires independent certification under a Commission-recognized RED scheme such as ISCC or REDcert, GO2 Markets supplies only certified volumes.

Operate Confidently in a Multi-Layered Regulatory Environment
Regulation is no longer one-dimensional. EU and global statutory and business development frameworks now overlap, meaning fuel decisions must be made with both compliance exposure and commercial strategy in mind.

LNG vessels already operate with lower well-to-wake intensity, generating compliance surplus. ISCC-certified Bio-LNG extends this, satisfying EU ETS zero-rating, FuelEU targets, and RED III criteria in one supply chain.

Turn Emissions Reductions Into Revenue

Under FuelEU Maritime:
Ships below the GHG intensity target generate positive balances
Surpluses can be pooled onto deficit vessels
Over-compliance becomes a commercial asset
We structure FuelEU pooling between surplus and deficit operators and negotiate competitive pricing. The case is proven: Bio-LNG over-compliance sells at roughly 1.5x procurement cost, since compliance value exceeds the green premium paid. European bunker suppliers reported biomethane growing from under 1% to over 12% of maritime gas volumes in 2024–2025.
With Bio-LNG rising from 6.5% to over 19% of total delivered volume over the same period. Decarbonization becomes a revenue stream, not just a cost center.
