AkzoNobel Details Benefits of Carbon Credits Methodology
AMSTERDAM, the Netherlands - Two ship owners are due to be awarded a combined total of almost $500,000 when the first claims resulting from a new carbon credits methodology developed by AkzoNobel and The Gold Standard Foundation are finalized next year.
The scheme allows ships to generate income in the form of carbon credits, which are earned by reducing CO2 emissions. A total of 17 vessels are included in the first two claims, while 50 additional vessels are expected to join the scheme by the end of the year.
