FuelEU Maritime · EU ETS
LNG in a medium-speed Otto engine clears the 2025 limit by 0.13 — and misses 2030 by 3.51.
Both numbers are gCO2eq/MJ, and both fall out of the regulation's own factors rather than anyone's model. Methane slip is the reason: Annex I counts fuel that leaves the engine unburned as methane, at 25 times the weight of CO2, so a 3.1 % slip gives back most of what the molecule saved.
Put your own fuel mix in below. You get the GHG intensity, the compliance balance, the FuelEU penalty from the Annex IV formula and the EU ETS allowances you must surrender — each traceable to the article it comes from.
What this does not cover
Where each number comes from
What this is. A planning estimate built from the Annex II default emission factors and the figures you entered. It is not a compliance submission and not legal advice. Verified compliance uses your actual bunker delivery notes, an accredited verifier and the FuelEU database, and the number will move. Every factor and formula above is cited so your own people can check it.
Every fuel against the limit
Well-to-wake intensity from the Annex II defaults, against the limit for the year selected above. Biofuels are deliberately absent: Annex II sends them to certified production pathways under the Renewable Energy Directive, so there is no honest single number to put in a table.
