Key Features of the Fuel-EU Regulation 1. Emission Intensity Requirements: The regulation mandates that ships must adhere to specific GHG intensity thresholds for the energy they use. This threshold will begin with a 2% reduction in 2025, gradually increasing to an ambitious 80% reduction by 2050, using 2020 levels as the baseline. 2. Scope of Applicability: The regulation covers 100% of the energy consumed during voyages within the EU/EEA. Additionally, it applies to 50% of the energy used on voyages to and from EU/EEA ports, mirroring the applicability of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU-ETS). 3. Onshore Power Supply Requirements: To further reduce emissions, the regulation requires passenger and container ships to connect to onshore power supplies at major EU ports when docked for more than two hours. This requirement will take effect in 2030 and will expand to include all ports with onshore power capabilities by 2035.
