Low emission freight solutions

Today, the supply and availability of low carbon fuels for the shipping sector is limited, furthermore their cost generally precludes their wider use within the industry. This creates obstacles to clients interested in using low carbon fuels, such as biofuels, in their supply chain. To solve this problem NORDEN has worked together with trusted industry partners to develop a robust carbon insetting program, based on a Book and Claim chain of custody.

Our carbon insetting program is based on a framework developed by the Smart Freight Centre, a leading non-profit focused on developing standards and practices to facilitate the decarbonisation of the transportation sector. Using this methodology, NORDEN is able to transfer the environmental attributes (emission reductions) of biofuels used in our operations to our clients with a high degree of transparency and assurance. Our standard assurance protocol ensures that each intervention is individually audited by a certified third-party verifier.

When a client purchases insets from NORDEN they will see exactly what type of fuel was used to create the emissions reductions including baseline fuel calculations, bunkering date, bunkering location, etc. This level of assurance and transparency ensures that each inset has been individually audited which provides industry leading accuracy and transparency such that a client knows exactly what is behind their purchase.

Today, with the low carbon fuels available in the market, NORDEN can offer up to 90% emissions reduction on a well to wake basis. This means our clients can take meaningful action in their supply chain today, while laying the foundation for the further development of low carbon fuels by sending strong demand signals to the energy producers.
