DNV updates Emissions Connect to help industry mitigate FuelEU Maritime challenges and risks
DNV Enhances Emissions Connect Platform to Tackle FuelEU Maritime Compliance
DNV has upgraded its emissions data verification and management platform, Emissions Connect, to help the maritime industry navigate the commercial challenges posed by the FuelEU Maritime regulations, which take effect on 1 January 2025. The platform’s enhancements arrive at a critical moment as the industry prepares to comply with new environmental requirements aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
First launched in 2023, Emissions Connect was designed to assist maritime companies in managing regulatory demands and decarbonization efforts. The platform enables effective management of Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) performance and the European Union’s Emissions Trading System (ETSETS) requirements. The latest update expands its capabilities to address the commercial impacts of FuelEU Maritime, a regulation that sets GHG intensity limits for ships calling at EU ports, with the aim of progressively lowering these limits by 2050.
The platform’s new features offer users a comprehensive overview of a fleet’s GHG intensity, compliance status, and potential penalties, allowing ship operators to better manage their fleets in line with FuelEU Maritime. The tool also provides verified emissions data, which can be shared securely with partners, banks, and insurers for compliance or reporting purposes. This digital verification helps ensure transparency and trust across the maritime supply chain.
With these enhancements, DNV continues to support the industry’s transition to a low-carbon future, offering solutions that promote collaboration, accuracy, and efficient emissions management.
