EU ETS, FuelEU Maritime, EUA Cost & Charterer Allocation Tool

EU ETS, FuelEU Maritime, EUA Cost & Charterer Allocation Tool

Calculate the combined EU carbon-compliance exposure of a vessel or voyage. Simple mode converts ETS emissions and FuelEU intensity into EUA cost, FuelEU compliance balance, penalty and owner/charterer allocation. Advanced mode separates EU ETS emission segments from FuelEU energy batches, applies reporting-year rules, values banking/borrowing/pooling adjustments, estimates commercial charterer exposure and produces full compliance ledgers and sensitivity analysis.

Fast ETS + FuelEU screen: 10 inputs.For 2026 reporting-period emissions, EU ETS maritime is fully phased in and CH₄/N₂O are within ETS scope. FuelEU uses the 2025–2029 target of 89.34 gCO₂e/MJ. Enter voyage/geographical scope and contractual cost shares rather than assuming every voyage is 100% covered or every cost belongs to charterers.

EU ETS Emission Segment Register

Enter verified or planning emissions by voyage/port segment. CH₄ and N₂O columns are entered directly in tonnes CO₂e to avoid hard-coding a GWP factor that may differ from your verified MRV methodology. The tool includes those gases in ETS cost from reporting year 2026 onward.

FuelEU Energy / Intensity Register

Enter in-scope energy before scope adjustment and the verifier/planning WtW GHG intensity for each batch or voyage segment. FuelEU applies 100% of energy for intra-EU/EEA and EU/EEA-port stays and generally 50% for extra-EU/EEA voyages. “Charterer attributable %” is a commercial allocation input, not a regulatory scope factor.

Compliance / Charter Checks

MRV / verifier emissions basis checkedCO₂, CH₄ and N₂O data use the vessel's accepted monitoring methodology and reporting-period values. Voyage geographical scope checked100% / 50% scope, excluded calls, transshipment-port treatment and any specific derogations are reviewed. FuelEU WtW factors supportedFuel certification, BDN/EDN, sustainability evidence and conversion-technology treatment are suitable for verifier acceptance. ETS charter clause checkedAllowance-transfer/payment mechanism, timing and off-hire treatment are aligned with the actual charterparty. FuelEU charter clause checkedSurcharge, reporting frequency, off-hire exclusions and redelivery treatment are aligned with the actual charterparty. Banking / borrowing / pooling rights confirmedCurrent charter period, reporting-period coverage and decision rights allow the intended flexibility action. Previous FuelEU compliance history checkedConsecutive deficit years and any prior borrowing or pooling are known before applying multiplier assumptions. Commercial surplus value separately agreedAny value assigned to a positive FuelEU balance is treated as a negotiated commercial value, not automatic statutory reimbursement.

Regulatory / contractual boundary: this tool is a planning and allocation model, not a verifier calculation, legal opinion or surrender instruction. EU ETS exemptions/derogations, sustainable-fuel zero-rating, MRV methodology, FuelEU Annex I factors, RFNBO treatment, pooling allocations and charter reimbursement depend on the vessel, reporting period, evidence and contract. Use verified data for compliance decisions.
