LATEST DEVELOPMENT ON EU-MRV

Monitoring Reporting & Verification (MRV) is a standardised method to produce an accurate CO2 emissions inventory, through the quantification of CO2 emissions. The key principles of the scheme are to generate robust results using a lean approach considering parameters which are already monitored during normal operations. It is advocated as a way of monitoring a ship’s …
