Ahti nets additional funding to boost FuelEU Maritime compliance pool

Ahti Climate, a provider of FuelEU Maritime pooling services, has secured additional funding from Business Finland to further strengthen its Ahti Pool platform and advance research and development (R&D).

The FuelEU Maritime regulation came into force on January 1, 2025, intending to increase the share of renewable and low-carbon fuels in the fuel mix of international maritime transport within the EU. In essence, the regulation imposes higher costs on companies that continue to remain reliant on conventional fossil fuels, thereby incentivising a shift toward cleaner alternatives.

Ahti Pool’s FuelEU Maritime-compliant pooling model offers a solution for shipping operators to use and trade ultra-low-carbon fuels like e-methanol or bio-LNG, and to pool compliance for the rest of their fleet. This means that Ahti Pool’s members can buy and sell credits for the use of sustainable fuels, thereby reducing CO2 emissions, cutting costs, and increasing operational flexibility.

The latest funding follows the initial grant that Ahti received from Business Finland in September 2024 to accelerate development of its platform.
