ONLY EUROPE…FOR NOW While this new piece of legislation is applying to EU trades only, it was born out of the blocks’ intent to comply with its own targets of reducing GHG emissions as per the Paris Agreement, together with the intent to steer the IMO towards such a regulation at a global level.
The EU has always made it clear it was open to replacing the current FEUM with a global IMO-driven regulation that would adopt an “ambitious enough fuel standard”, i.e. a regulation as strict or stricter than current FEUM.
Yet, between fuel certification, data collection, penalties & rewards and other topics of discord, the position of the EU and other countries remain firmly apart. As it stands, the prospects of a global ambitious agreement appear rather dire,
but the will remains and the possibility a similar regulation being rolled out on a global level lingers.
THE TIME IS NOW While penalties for trading on GHG- intensive fuels remain quite manageable in the short term, they will progressively become a significant burden. There are many ways to alleviate it, and even ways to benefit from installing modern technologies. Ask us, we can help.

Renewable Fuels of Non- Biological Origin (RFNBO) are renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non-biological origin’ means liquid or gaseous fuels which are used in the transport sector other than biofuels or biogas, the energy content of which is derived from renewable sources other than biomass. RFNBO are mostly fuels produced from renewable electricity. RFNBO are initially hydrogen produced by water electrolysis which can then be transformed in any kind of fuel (methane, ammonia, methanol, diesel…) by adding other molecules like nitrogen or CO2

OptiCARBON is a modular, web-based application developed by BV Solutions Marine & Offshore for the maritime industry. Designed to simulate the energy consumption of each vessel within a fleet, it is based on digital models of the vessels and corresponding operating profiles to deliver flexible, accurate, and actionable insights. The tool’s outputs include CII ratings, fuel consumption, emissions data, and cost projections, factoring in compliance costs for regulations such as EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime. The below simplified chart illustrates ship strategies with three different types of propulsion.
