Emission Schemes

IMO Net Zero Framework

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is developing a global regulatory framework intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping in line with the 2023 IMO GHG Strategy, which aims to achieve net-zero emissions from international shipping by or around 2050.

EU Emissions Trading System

The EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) is the European Union’s carbon pricing mechanism, and since 2024 it has included maritime transport. It places a cost on greenhouse gas emissions from ships by requiring companies to monitor emissions (under EU MRV) and surrender tradable emission allowances.

FuelEU Maritime

FuelEU Maritime is established under Regulation (EU) 2023/1805. It forms part of the EU climate framework and sets requirements to reduce the greenhouse gas intensity of energy used on board ships calling at EU ports.
