Nordic energy leader Gasum aims to standardize the evolving compliance market by providing its actual selling price for carbon reduction units, offering clarity and managing regulatory risk for shipping clients.
Helsinki, Finland | November 18, 2025 – Gasum, a leading provider of FuelEU Maritime pooling services in Europe, has begun publishing a daily price for FuelEU Maritime compliance units on its corporate website. This move is designed to enhance transparency in the burgeoning and often opaque compliance market created by the new EU regulation.
Crucially, the quoted figure is not a general market index, but represents Gasum’s actual selling price per ton of carbon dioxide CO2 emitted, applicable to volumes of 500 t CO2 and above..
The Need for Market Clarity
The FuelEU Maritime regulation, which came into effect in 2025, requires ships above 5,000 gross tonnage calling at European ports to progressively reduce the greenhouse gas intensity of the energy they use. The regulation allows vessels to pool their compliance efforts, leading to a new, complex market for compliance units.
Gasum’s decision to publish its pricing directly addresses the uncertainty shipowners face when managing their compliance needs.
“We at Gasum believe a more transparent and standardized FuelEU Maritime compliance market is needed to support shipping companies in making the right decisions,” says Jacob Granqvist, VP, Maritime, Gasum. “For us, pooling is about trust, and pricing transparency is key in increasing the confidence we know our customers have in us.”
Gasum’s Risk-Mitigation Model
The core of Gasum’s offering lies in its unique pooling model, which not only provides compliance units but also allows customers to transfer all regulation-related risk to Gasum.
Gasum generates the necessary compliance by running several designated vessels on waste-based bio-LNG within its pool. Bio-LNG is a powerful compliance generator because it produces, on average, 90 percent lower emissions compared to traditional marine fuels like Marine Gas Oil (MGO). Depending on the feedstock, the emissions can even be negative, creating a substantial surplus of compliance.
As the pool manager, Gasum takes full contractual responsibility for the pool’s balance, ensuring that the needed amount of bio-LNG is always supplied to meet the compliance demands of its client base.
The daily price of compliance units is now available on Gasum’s website, reinforcing its commitment to supporting a cleaner, more predictable maritime sector.
