In Denmark, Danish shipping company Norden announced a sustainable maritime fuel agreement with Meta aimed at advancing the decarbonisation of the maritime industry.
“We are proud to include Meta to our growing list of customers looking to decarbonise their maritime supply chains,” says Anne Jensen, COO at Norden. “Both Meta and Norden share a commitment to high standards and to the further development of the decarbonisation of maritime freight, as demonstrated by our involvement in the Book and Claim Community’s Governing Board.”
The emissions reduction solution NORDEN follows – known as Book & Claim – works by burning biofuel on a Norden operated vessel and the emission reduction being allocated to a third-party customer, in this case Meta, using a book and claim chain of custody system. Norden uses the Smart Freight Centre’s Voluntary Market Bases Measure Framework for Logistics Emissions Accounting and Reporting as the basis for transferring the environmental attributes (emission reductions) of biofuels used in our operations to our clients with a high degree of transparency and assurance.
“Our Book & Claim solution allows customers of marine transportation across the globe to take advantage of emissions reductions from biofuels, even when biofuels are not physically available to be bunkered on a specific trading route or voyage,” Anne Jensen adds.
