FuelEU Maritime compliance requirements explained
FuelEU Maritime is a European Union (EU) regulation established to increase the use of renewable and low-carbon fuels and limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In 2025, FuelEU Maritime already started to apply to all ships of 5,000 gross tonnage and over calling at EU ports, regardless of their flag. Shipping companies must reduce the carbon intensity of the purchased fuel by 2% in 2025 (GHG emissions and well-to-wake) increasing progressively to as much as 80% by 2050. Companies that fail to meet annual targets face financial penalties and compliance liability.
To facilitate compliance and make compliance easier for shipping companies (DOC holders), FuelEU Maritime permits the voluntary pooling of emissions between vessels. This means that vessels that have over-compliance can reduce the greenhouse gas intensity needed of other vessels, or in other words provide compliance as a service.
How does pooling work?
Emissions can be pooled between two or more ships verified by the same body to achieve compliance per individual ship. This includes ships controlled by different companies. However, pooling is subject to certain conditions. For one, the total pooled compliance must be positive. This means ships cannot have a greater deficit after pooling emissions.
How Gasum's pool works in 3 simple steps:
- Join the Pool: Register your vessels with Gasum’s commercial pool.
- Order: Get the needed amount of compliance units from Gasum quickly and transparently.
- Sail with peace of mind: Continue operations with confidence, knowing you meet all FuelEU Maritime regulation requirements and that compliance is secured and audit-ready.

Gasum’s commercial pool is uniquely reliable
The commercial pool includes compliance generators, which are LNG-powered vessels that run on bio-LNG from Gasum’s own value chain and close partners. The pool combines these over-compliant vessels and vessels that are under-compliant so that compliance can be shared within the pool.
Companies that are in need of compliance can acquire the required share of the over-compliance within Gasum’s commercial pool with the lowest operational impact and costs.
In addition to connecting over and under compliant vessels, Gasum's pool guarantees the amount of compliance units needed for the pool through Gasum's own biogas portfolio. This is a unique structural advantage, as availability of biofuels, and thus compliance units, is not certain in the coming years.
Gasum’s commercial pool covers all compliance-related risks including balance, availability and regulatory risk, and it enables cost‑effective emission reductions for the maritime sector. Shipping companies can rest assured that their emission reduction requirements are met in an effective and hassle-free way, with predictable costs and a reliable long-term partner.
