What are we doing?

Katalist utilizes a Book & Claim chain of custody model to allow supply to meet demand without the need for a physical connection.

Without Book & Claim

01

Freight customers looking to lower their emissions, but unable to access vessels using Sustainable Marine Fuel, must report fossil fuel emissions

With Book & Claim

02

Freight customers can purchase emission savings from vessels using Sustainable Marine Fuel, even if their cargo isn’t transported on these vessels

03

Carriers outside the value chain using Sustainable Marine Fuel book these ships’ voyage and fuel information and transfer them to freight customers through Katalist

04

Freight customers can claim the benefits of these emission savings in their reporting.

Carriers and freight customers share the cost and benefits of Sustainable Marine Fuel use, sending a clear demand signal for more low emission transport

What makes Katalist a trusted, non-profit platform for maritime decarbonization?

Independent insetting tool

Developed by non-profits with dedicated experience, in partnership with companies across the full value chain, Katalist facilitates maritime insetting in a credible and transparent manner.

No double counting

We have implemented measures to mitigate the risk of double counting, with established policies and controls through the whole process, from emission and voyage data to token transfers and retirement.

Complete transparency

Katalist tracks primary data for emissions and transport-related activity data along the full maritime supply chain. By monitoring all inputs and outputs in the supply chain, Katalist provides transparent data that enables our users to book, transfer and claim actual emission reductions with full traceability.

Open for all companies

Katalist is designed to meet companies where they are in their decarbonization journey, guaranteeing you can take real action to shape the maritime industry no matter what shipping segment you operate in. 

Open for all sustainable fuel types

By representing greenhouse gas emissions on a well-to-wake basis, we compare fuels on their emissions, not their types – opening the field for the multiple types of sustainable fuels needed to decarbonize the industry.

3rd party validated outcomes

Katalist is built on a robust verification framework requiring third-party validation of emission and voyage-related data to ensure accurate and credible outcomes.

Mission-driven purpose

As a non-profit initiative, you can trust that Katalist’s focus is on finding the best solution to propel decarbonization across the entire maritime value chain, with a comprehensive governance structure in place to allow the platform to maintain its independence, accuracy, and relevance.

No IT investment

Katalist is designed as a full-service technology platform that is ready to deploy from day one. Our users won’t need to invest further in IT infrastructure to ensure that their emission reduction data is being tracked and monitored with transparent accuracy.
