The Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2027 establishes verification requirements under Regulation (EU) 2023/1805 for using renewable and low-carbon fuels in maritime transport. It strengthens monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) processes to ensure compliance with fuel sustainability standards.
The regulation mandates independent, accredited verifiers to assess FuelEU reports, risk analyses, and monitoring plans. Verification activities include third-party audits, risk-based assessments, and site visits to prevent misstatements and ensure data accuracy.
By enhancing transparency and accountability, the regulation aligns the shipping industry with EU decarbonization targets. Stricter compliance checks will improve emissions reporting and fuel sustainability across maritime transport.
Shipping companies must adapt to these evolving standards, ensuring adherence to the renewable fuel framework and reinforcing their commitment to sustainability. This regulation is a crucial step toward reducing maritime emissions and promoting cleaner fuel alternatives within the EU.
