Equatorial Marine Fuel Management Services Joins CMS in Advancing
Decarbonisation Efforts in Singapore’s Commodities Sector
SINGAPORE. 22 JUNE 2023 - Following the successful pilot transaction with Chevron Singapore, Carbon Management Solutions (CMS) is proud to announce its second lower carbon fuel oil transaction, this time in partnership with Equatorial, the largest supplier of marine fuel in Singapore.
CMS continues to lead the way in pioneering the transition towards a lower carbon
commodities industry in Singapore. CMS continues to validate its blockchain-based asset ledger, OurPath SG, in facilitating carbon offsetting to reduce emissions. Just as in the Chevron pilot, CMS worked with Xpansiv to source carbon credits based on the highest quality standards, providing transparency and trust in the process.
The fuel from this transaction, classified as 'lower carbon', will be used by Equatorial to supply vessels in Singapore, an important milestone in CMS’s journey, with the carbon offsetting applied to fuel consumed within the city-state. While achieving CMS’s first 'fully offset' fuel is a long-term goal, this transaction brings us a step closer towards that objective.
Equatorial is not new to the pursuit of sustainability. They already offer biofuel & biodiesel as a reduction activity, and this partnership with CMS is a step further in their commitment to a sustainable future. “Accountability has always been an issue of contention amidst the green agenda, we at Equatorial are glad to be partners with CMS in this elegant approach. We look forward to bringing more optionality to our clients.” says the company’s Executive Director, Choong Zhen Mao.
CMS and Equatorial plan to continue this partnership, with a vision of offering decarbonisation as an optional service for clients, thereby allowing them to select their preferred level of decarbonisation.
This initiative continues to have the support of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) as part of Project Greenprint, which seeks to harness technology and data to create a more transparent, trusted, and efficient ESG ecosystem.
"We are excited to continue driving the transition towards a lower carbon commodities industry with this second transaction," said Anthony Bennett, COO of CMS. "We're committed to offering innovative solutions that contribute to a sustainable future. This partnership with Equatorial is another step in that direction."
