Marlo’s EU ETS module helps shipping companies estimate and manage their carbon emission liabilities under the European Union Emissions Trading System. This tool calculates carbon cost exposure for individual voyages or entire fleets, making compliance easier and providing financial clarity on EU-mandated emission allowances.
Concepts in the Module
Emission Allowances (EUAs): Tradable permits required for every ton of CO₂ emitted
Geographical Applicability: Applies to voyages touching EU ports (intra-EU, inbound, outbound)
Cost Exposure: Estimated based on latest EUA market price
Compliance Scope: Only includes CO₂ (methane and N₂O not yet covered)
Free Allowances: User can input any allocated free allowances
Threshold Dates: Enforcement begins Jan 2024; phased increase in obligations until 2026
