Question 1

What is carbon insetting and how does it differ from offsetting?

Accepted Answer

Carbon insetting involves reducing emissions within your own value chain through direct interventions like sustainable fuels, while offsetting involves purchasing credits from external projects. Insetting provides greater control and transparency over emission reductions.

Question 2

How can I reduce Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions in transport?

Accepted Answer

Scope 1 emissions can be reduced through sustainable fuel alternatives like HVO in your own fleet. Scope 3 emissions are addressed by implementing carbon insetting strategies with your logistics partners and supply chain.

Question 3

What is FuelEU Maritime and how does it affect shipping?

Accepted Answer

FuelEU Maritime is EU regulation requiring ships above 5,000 gross tonnage to reduce GHG intensity of energy used. Non-compliance results in penalties of €2,400 per tonne of VLSFO. Pooling strategies can help reduce compliance costs.

Question 4

How does book and claim work for supply chain decarbonization?

Accepted Answer

Book and claim allows companies to claim environmental benefits from sustainable fuels produced anywhere in the system, even if not physically delivered to their operations. This enables flexible and cost-effective supply chain decarbonization.
