Emissions trading in safe hands
Vertis, a MiFID II trading firm, supports companies in navigating through carbon compliance schemes, including different EU Emissions Trading Systems, CBAM and CORSIA, in a cost-effective way
FuelEU Maritime is an EU regulation that mandates annual reductions in the well-to-wake greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity of energy used onboard vessels, starting with a 2% reduction in 2025 and tightening to 80% by 2050. For underperforming vessels, failure to comply results in penalties of €642 per ton of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e). STX offers a strategic pooling-based solution that ensures compliance without the need for immediate fuel or technology changes.
Through the EU-approved FuelEU pooling mechanism, STX Group enables shipping companies to access surplus compliance units (tCO₂e) generated by overperforming vessels. STX organizes and registers compliance pools under EU rules, offering a reliable path to meet obligations at a fixed, predictable price per tCO₂e.
Guaranteed Surplus Allocation
Guaranteed surplus allocation from the STX pool, up to the volume you reserved. Avoid administrative delays and regulatory penalties.
Fixed Price Per Yearly Volume
Locked-in fixed price per tCO₂e for the compliance year protecting against market volatility and exposure to the FuelEU penalty.
Optimized cashflow
Spread-out payment plans with only partial pre-payment available, avoiding the 100% upfront payment typically required in self-managed compliance.
