Compliance
Options
1. Use Low-Carbon FuelsSwitch to LNG, biofuels, e-fuels, or other renewable fuels with lower WtW emissions.
2. Banking & BorrowingBank compliance surplus for up to 2 years or borrow up to 2% from next year.
3. PoolingPool compliance with other ships to balance high and low performers.
4. Pay PenaltyPay €2,400 per tonne of VLSFO equivalent for the compliance gap.
