CSRD-aligned Scope 3 for ocean shipping

UAE maritime groups face CSRD value-chain reporting on top of IMO requirements. Carbon Zero computes Scope 3 from real activity — fuel burn and tonne-kilometres — with a Well-to-Tank / Tank-to-Wake split, and falls back to spend only where it must.

Three methods, one rollup

Pick the most accurate method per activity — Carbon Zero rolls everything up by Scope 3 category and method.

Fuel burn (activity-based)

Bunker tonnes × per-fuel WTT/TTW factors — the most accurate method for vessels under your operational control.

Tonne-kilometres

Cargo tonnes × distance × mode factor — for chartered legs and upstream transport where fuel data is unavailable.

Spend-based (fallback)

Procurement spend × category factor — a defensible estimate when neither fuel nor activity data exists yet.

Well-to-Tank + Tank-to-Wake

Every fuel factor, split two ways

WTT captures upstream extraction, refining and transport of the fuel; TTW captures combustion onboard. Reporting both gives auditors the full lifecycle picture CSRD expects.

  • Per-fuel factors: HFO, VLSFO, MGO, LNG, methanol, biofuel, ammonia
  • kgCO₂e per tonne of fuel, WTT and TTW maintained separately
  • IMO DCS / CII / EEXI-aligned metrics, scores and targets
  • Evidence attached per submission for audit trails
Scope 3 categories covered
  • Cat 1 — Purchased goods & services
  • Cat 2 — Capital goods
  • Cat 3 — Fuel & energy-related
  • Cat 4 — Upstream transportation
  • Cat 6 — Business travel
