Gasum has moved swiftly to support forthcoming FuelEU Maritime regulations by releasing a public daily selling price for compliance units. The quote, expressed in euros per tonne of CO2 equivalent for blocks above five hundred tonnes, gives ship operators a clear yardstick ahead of the two percent emission cut that starts in twenty twenty five.
Having a reliable number eliminates guesswork. Managers can model route level costs within minutes, and lenders can compare projects on the same baseline. Such openness encourages earlier investment decisions, reducing the risk of compliance surprises once vessels begin recording data on January first.
Transparency supports smarter decarbonization decisions
FuelEU permits pooling of surplus and deficit performance across fleets. Gasum already runs vessels on certified waste based bio LNG that yields up to ninety percent lower lifecycle emissions than marine gasoil. By aggregating these savings Gasum can sell verified compliance to partners who have not yet converted engines or fuel supply.
· Single price covers carbon gaps across fleets simplifying annual planning
· Gasum guarantees pool balance transferring regulation risk away from customers
In effect Gasum operates a one stop compliance clearing house, giving operators time to focus on optimising voyages and deploying capital toward efficiency technology.
An emerging market signal
Because the daily quote is public it may soon underpin forward contracts similar to fuel swaps. Locking a future compliance price today would let charterers fix operating budgets and could accelerate orders for dual fuel tonnage by removing uncertainty around the value of produced bio LNG savings.
Conclusion
Gasum has turned regulation into an opportunity for transparency and collaboration. Its pricing initiative offers certainty that helps shipping finance greener choices and keeps decarbonization momentum rising across European trade lanes. The benefit arrives immediately.
