A new industry protocol
Alcom has led a new initiative for marine fuel crediting: the Methodology for Marine Fuels and Bio Bunkers. Co-developed with Gold Standard, a 20-year-old international crediting body, it is the first voluntary carbon markets (VCM) initiative to incentivise fuel-switching in the shipping industry.
