Finnish energy company Gasum reported a significant increase in bioLNG sales for maritime use, rising from 0.8% in 2024 to 12.3% in 2025. This growth is primarily driven by the FuelEU maritime regulation, which mandates a gradual reduction in the carbon intensity of shipping fuels over the next 25 years. The surge highlights the role of the EU's pooling mechanism, allowing ships using renewable fuels to offset the emissions of other vessels. This system shares costs across operators and accelerates the adoption of biomethane as a scalable alternative to traditional fossil fuels in the shipping industry.
