FuelEU Compliance Balance
Annual FuelEU compliance balance - (target − attained) × total energy. Positive = surplus (bankable, poolable, tradable). Negative = deficit (penalty applies).
Compliance balance
134,000,000MJ·gCO₂e
Surplus - bankable / poolable.
VLSFO-equivalent deficit
36.58t VLSFO-eq
Formula and assumptions
Balance = (target − attained) × Σ energy VLSFO-eq tonnes = |balance| / (41 000 × target)
The VLSFO-equivalent framing converts the MJ·gCO₂e quantity into a more intuitive mass reference - "how many tonnes of VLSFO would have caused this much deficit?" - useful for penalty framing and pooling trades.
