Marine Fuels and Bio Bunkers

ACM, in collaboration with Gold Standard, is developing a methodology that incentivizes and encourages fuel switching from fossil fuels to sustainable biofuels in the maritime sector. This is the first methodology that looks at the biofuel transition from a voluntary carbon market lens and is currently out for public consultation here – https://www.goldstandard.org/our-work/innovations-consultations/ghg-emission-calculation-marine-fuels-and-bio-bunkers

The methodology is applicable to projects that involves biofuel and bio-bunker blending to reduce GHG emissions by displacing traditional fossil bunkers for use in sea vessels. The methodology functions within the voluntary carbon market ecosystem and complements, but does not replace, mandatory decarbonization initiatives undertaken by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).

ACM is also in collaboration with Singapore-based Climate Impact X to provide local players with accessible carbon credits generated from this methodology. Please reach out for more information on how ACM can get your biofuel blending efforts registered within the voluntary carbon market space with Gold Standard.
