Following up on last week’s newsletter on emission factors, this week we’ll focus on the practical application of those factors: calculating the GHG intensity of a ship under FuelEU Maritime. Using the example question posed on our LinkedIn quiz, we’ll provide a guide on how to correctly calculate the GHG intensity based on an example with a containership using heavy fuel oil (HFO). What is GHG Intensity? Under FuelEU Maritime, the GHG intensity is the ratio of total greenhou

Most essential for compliance with FuelEU Maritime is the emission factor used to determine the GHG intensity. The emission factor under FuelEU Maritime measures a fuel's lifecycle emissions (well-to-wake), which are expressed in grams of CO2 equivalent per megajoule (g CO2e/MJ). Today’s newsletter sheds light on where to find a fuel’s emission factor and how it is derived: Where to find a fuel’s emission factor for calculations under FuelEU Maritime? FuelEU Maritime is the f

As the maritime industry adapts to the upcoming FuelEU Maritime regulation, one area that presents unique challenges is the compliance of ships with ice class. These are essential for maintaining global trade routes that pass through colder climates. The ships are designed to handle harsh sea ice conditions, but their unique operational needs and technical characteristics also mean higher energy consumption, complicating their efforts to meet the regulation’s greenhouse gas (
