PNZ2050 (Project Net Zero) and Opus Marine GmbH have entered into an agreement to compensate 100% of Opus Marine fleet CO2 emissions starting from 1st of January 2021.
Carbon offsets allow for emissions and CO2 output to be balanced with the purchase of an equivalent qualified offset.
This means purchasing verified carbon units that are equivalent to the CO2 production from emissions. These units also fund certified projects that generate clean and renewable energy, such as wind farms, solar energy, and reforestation.
Bernhard Messer, Managing Director of Opus, commented:
The decarbonization of our fleet, not only gives us an unprecedented position in our market but allows us to support renewable energy projects, including wind
In addition, Alain Savary, Founder and CEO of PNZ, mentioned that the partners have designed a strong CO2 compensation strategy but also work with on emissions reduction projects.
