Emission Reduction Certificates

Verified emission reduction for your transportation services.

Purchase verified emission reductions from G2 Ocean’s use of biofuel and report them in your Scope 3 emissions.

About the service

Emission Reduction Certificates enable companies to purchase and claim verified emission (Scope 3) reductions generated through biofuel use in G2 Ocean’s operations.

How it works

G2 Ocean uses certified biofuel on selected voyages
Emission reductions are calculated and verified
Certificates are issued and recorded
You purchase certificates and use them for your emission reporting

The service is available to any company with emissions from transportation (Scope 3). It does not require cargo to be transported on specific low-emission G2 Ocean voyages.

“Reducing transport emissions requires solutions that are both practical and credible. With Emission Reduction Certificates, we enable our customers to take immediate action on their Scope 3 emissions while supporting the broader shift towards lower-emission fuels.”

— Sigrid Bakken, ESG and Communications Director

Process

Verified emission reductions

Verification

A certified auditor, Bureau Veritas, independently verifies the emission reductions. Their assurance process covers verification of emission data, calculations, and double-counting.

Traceability

The certificates are linked to actual biofuel use and have a clear chain of custody; they are unique to you, avoiding double-counting.

Clear methodology

Our approach is in line with the Smart Freight Centre's framework "Voluntary Market-Based Measures Framework for Logistics Emissions Account and Reporting" which sets guidelines for the application of emission reduction systems across modes of transportation.

The emission reductions are verified by Bureau Veritas

Key benefits

Emission Reduction Certificates offer a range of benefits, including:

Flexible

Decarbonise without dependency on transportation mode, routes or availability of biofuel

Credible

Verified emission reductions with supporting documentation from certified auditor (Bureau Veritas)

Transparent

Traceable certificates and clear reporting methodology

Actionable

Enables immediate emission reduction claims

G2 Ocean launches Emission Reduction Certificates to support supply chain decarbonisation

G2 Ocean has launched Emission Reduction Certificates, a new service enabling customers to reduce emissions associated with their transportation services. The service allows cargo owners and transport buyers to reduce their emissions from transportation by purchasing verified emission reductions generated from the use of biofuel in G2 Ocean’s operations. The service is available to any company with emissions from transportation (Scope 3). It does not require cargo to be transported on specific low-emission G2 Ocean voyages. Addressing Scope 3 transport emissions For most companies, emissions from shipping are classified as indirect emissions (Scope 3) and sit outside their direct control.…
