Shipping companies can now harvest data on enhanced fuel performance as verified CO₂ reductions that they convert into Gold Standard carbon credits using Aderco’s ‘measure-as-you-go’ program, 2055G+, writes Gérald Baiwir, Head of Environment, Aderco.
Looking beyond compliance with environmental regulations, shipping companies are discovering that savings from onboard energy-efficiency measures can be converted into valuable, Gold Standard-backed carbon credits, allowing them to benefit financially while reducing emissions.
Until very recently, doing so has been labour-intensive and resource-heavy. Operators have had to reconstruct their vessels’ performance data retroactively, often working with incomplete or inconsistent datasets. This has resulted in lengthy validation timelines, significant uncertainty around data accuracy and, in worst-case scenarios, disputes over performance improvements.
On the flipside, genuine efficiency gains have often gone uncertified: not because they weren’t real, but because the data was simply not structured for certification.
Verifiable Data
To address this, Aderco has rolled out a new ‘measure-as-you-go’ program, 2055G+, which operators can use to ensure steps they take to improve energy efficiency are reflected in accurate data. 2055G+ offers a single, transparent data framework that is continually updated, audit-ready and accessible to stakeholders, including shipowners, operators and charterers.
Performance data is influenced by various factors,
