Columbia Group, led by Director of Energy and Renewables Philippos Ioulianou, emphasizes the need for solutions to assist ship owners in complying with the new FuelEU Maritime regulations. These regulations aim to reduce carbon intensity levels on vessels by 2% next year and are part of the EU’s Fit for 55 directive to decrease CO2 emissions in the maritime sector by 55% by 2030. To help ship owners navigate these complex challenges, Columbia Group has launched a one-stop shop platform using AI to streamline processes and ensure compliance with the evolving regulatory landscape.
The platform, EmissionLink, created by Columbia Group, offers transparency in managing the fuel life cycle and helps companies collect, clean, analyze, and forecast emissions data. By utilizing this platform, clients can create long-term green strategies and meet new emission targets. The goal is to empower the shipping industry with the tools and knowledge needed to achieve environmental goals while maintaining a competitive advantage. Director Ioulianou stresses the importance of sustainability and profitability coexisting and believes the platform will help companies avoid hefty fines and comply with regulations.
With the launch of EmissionLink, Columbia Group is committed to assisting clients in reducing their carbon intensity levels and handling data analysis. The platform aims to support the global transition to a low-carbon economy by providing innovative solutions and dedicated support. Director Ioulianou highlights the mission of the platform to guide companies through compliance processes and help them achieve their environmental goals effectively.
