Based on the Mass Balance Concept*, CLEANER ENERGY biofuel is available across all our services.
The Mass Balance Concept is a method to diversify our energy mix by monitoring the energy utilization and allocating to specific traffics.
A declaration, specifying the amount of LNG used and its related CO2 savings, is then sent to our customers.
To offset your remaining CO2 emission, opt for POSITIVE OFFSET service.

*Information about the entire methodology is available on our website.
