Carbon Management Solutions and Chevron Partner to Execute Lower Carbon Fuel Oil Transactions in Singapore
The pilot program showcases the effectiveness of carbon offsetting in reducing emissions and driving sustainability in the commodities industry.
SINGAPORE. 9 JUNE 2023 - Carbon Management Solutions (CMS) executed its first lower carbon fuel oil transaction. The pilot transaction was executed in partnership with Chevron, and utilised carbon offsets facilitated and executed by Xpansiv. The innovative initiative offsets bunker fuel from Chevron, with support from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) as part of Project Greenprint. The end-to-end solution provides complete audibility and traceability for fuel oil participants on CMS’s OurPath SG Platform.
CMS is pioneering the transition toward lower carbon in the Singapore commodities industry. The OurPath SG platform is a blockchain-based asset ledger that enables commodities to be data enriched based on their provenance and emissions profile, bonded with carbon credits to abate their footprint, traded, fractionalised, and consumed whilst retaining critical auditable data for industry participants and regulators.
Anthony Bennett, COO of CMS said, "I am thrilled to have seen the effective implementation of the pilot program with Chevron, taking us another step closer to driving lower carbon in the commodities industry. This program had been a clear demonstration of CMS's vision and commitment to sustainability and a testament to the effectiveness of the core technology underpinning the OurPath SG platform in driving meaningful progress towards a more sustainable future."
The pilot program had seen CMS provide carbon credits to offset emissions from bunker fuel supplied by Chevron. The carbon credits, facilitated and executed via Xpansiv markets, were selected based on stringent quality standards and transparency. By using carbon credits, Chevron is working to support the transition to a lower carbon economy.
"Chevron is pleased to join this partnership as part of our commitment to finding new and innovative ways to deliver on our lower carbon solutions,” said Donny Suhartono, President of Chevron Product Supply and Trading “This partnership with CMS, and the use of Xpansiv infrastructure to purchase the credits, compliments our goal to make our oil and natural gas production among one of the most efficient and responsibly produced in the world.”
CMS is engaging Project Greenprint, an initiative by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, on future integration of CMS’ solution into the Greenprint Marketplace, to support the growing needs of the regional sustainable finance and fintech community.
This partnership between CMS and Chevron demonstrated the commitment of these organisations to tackling climate change and achieving a sustainable future.
The successful completion of the pilot program, with CMS and Chevron, has demonstrated the effectiveness of carbon offsetting as a tool for reducing emissions. By working together, these organizations hope to inspire others to act on climate change and contribute to the creation of a more sustainable future.
