02Compliance timeline

Which obligation starts when?

EU legislation phases in gradually. The thresholds below determine when you need to start preparing.

Let us check which applies to you

Source: EU Directive 2023/959, Regulations (EU) 2023/1805 and 2023/956.

  1. 2024

    EU ETS

    Shipping entered the EU ETS

    Allowances must be surrendered for 40% of reported emissions. The first surrender obligation arose in 2025.

  2. 2025

    EU ETS + FuelEU

    Rate rises to 70%, FuelEU begins

    The ETS surrender rate reaches 70%. FuelEU Maritime enters into force: a 2% reduction in fuel greenhouse gas intensity against the 2020 baseline.

  3. 2026

    EU ETS + CBAM

    ETS at 100%, CBAM becomes definitive

    The surrender rate for shipping reaches 100%. The CBAM transitional period ends and certificate obligations begin for importers.

  4. 2030

    FuelEU

    FuelEU reduction target of 6%

    A 6% reduction in fuel greenhouse gas intensity against the 2020 baseline. Onshore power supply becomes mandatory for container and passenger ships.

Frequently asked questions

Ask a question
What is a Net Zero Target and Why is it Important?
A net zero target means that a company, institution, or country aims to completely eliminate its greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. This is usually achieved by reducing emissions and offsetting the remaining emissions. To set net zero targets, companies must first calculate and analyze their current emissions. Then, they should set specific targets and strategies to reduce these emissions.
What is the Relationship Between Net Zero Targets and Carbon Footprint Tracking?
Net zero targets include tracking the carbon footprint. To achieve net zero targets, companies must continuously monitor and aim to reduce their carbon footprints. The carbon footprint represents the total amount of greenhouse gases directly and indirectly emitted by an individual, company, or product. The carbon footprint is usually calculated in CO2 equivalent (CO2e). The calculation includes emissions from energy consumption, transportation, waste management, and other activities. Tracking these emissions by companies and governments is necessary. Emission Trading Systems implemented worldwide allow for this tracking by governments. One of the first systems implemented in this regard is the EU-ETS.
What is the EU Emission Trading System (EU ETS) and How Does it Work?
The EU Emission Trading System (EU ETS) is an emission trading system established by the European Union to reduce carbon emissions. In this system, a certain amount of emission allowances (cap) is determined, and companies can trade these allowances. Companies can sell their surplus allowances if they reduce their emissions below the cap or buy allowances if they need to offset their emissions. An additional tax is applied to the carbon emissions of imported products under the EU ETS. This system is named CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism).
What is the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and Why is it Applied?
The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is an application of the European Union that works according to the carbon content of imported products. CBAM is applied to ensure a level playing field between domestic producers and importers and to prevent carbon leakage. Mechanisms such as the EU-ETS and CBAM encourage companies to monitor and reduce their carbon emissions and achieve sustainability targets.
What are Sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance)?
Sustainability is the ability to meet the needs of future generations by preserving natural resources and balancing environmental, social, and economic factors. Companies that comply with ESG criteria are perceived as more reliable and responsible by investors, customers, and other stakeholders. Additionally, companies with high ESG performance have a higher likelihood of achieving long-term financial success and sustainable growth, and they need to report this performance.
