In Finland, energy firm Gasum has begun publishing the daily price of FuelEU Maritime compliance units, offering shipowners a direct line on the cost of meeting Europe’s carbon rules. Unlike indices, the posted rate reflects Gasum’s actual selling price per ton of CO₂, starting at transaction volumes of 500 tons or more.
The move marks a shift toward price transparency in an evolving regulatory market. “Pooling is about trust,” said Jacob Granqvist, VP of Maritime at Gasum. “Pricing transparency is key in increasing the trust we know our customers have in us.”
Gasum’s compliance pool is powered by designated ships running on waste-based bio-LNG, a fuel with an emissions profile up to 90 percent lower than marine gas oil. Depending on feedstock, some fuel pathways may even achieve net-negative carbon intensity.
Unlike other pooling schemes, Gasum takes on the full regulatory burden. It guarantees both the supply of bio-LNG and the balance of the compliance pool, allowing clients to offload risk while maintaining FuelEU compliance.
