Reduced emissions for your business

With Maritime Biofuel Insets, you not only get a fossil-free transport solution but also a certificate showing how much your transportation emissions have been reduced. We provide the possibility to reduce fossil emissions in Scope 3 by up to 100 percent. It’s a simple, cost-efficient solution that makes a real difference in emissions. For you, this means we can provide a certificate that covers a total reduction of all your shipping emissions.

The book and claim principle – like green electricity

When you choose Maritime Biofuel Insets, it works somewhat like choosing green electricity. By demanding and purchasing biofuel, we ensure that the overall amount of renewable fuel used in the shipping sector increases. Even if we cannot always guarantee that the biofuel will be used directly in the ship transporting your goods, this contributes to reducing the shipping industry’s total emissions, which is ultimately the most important aspect.

Biogas from manure – an organic resource

The foundation of Maritime Biofuel Insets is Liquefied Biogas (LBG), a fuel produced from organic materials. In our case, manure is used as the raw material. This byproduct from agriculture is a smart way to reduce climate impact on multiple levels. Instead of letting methane from the manure escape into the atmosphere, it is converted into renewable fuel that can be used to power ships. This reduces emissions both during production and when the fuel is burned.

A significant step towards fossil free shipping

Maritime Biofuel Insets is not just a solution for reducing current emissions; it is also part of the long-term transition to fossil-free shipping. By choosing biofuel now, we collectively send a clear signal to the industry that fossil-free solutions are in demand and a possible new market. Together we can transform the shipping industry and reduce our shared climate impact.
