Microsoft Partners with Norden to Cut Scope 3 Maritime Emissions by 10k tons

Microsoft has partnered with Danish shipping company Norden to cut its Scope 3 CO2 emissions by approximately 10,000 tons over three years. Both companies will collaborate on a pilot project, utilizing Norden’s biofuel book and claim solution which allows companies that rely on maritime transport in their supply chain to take advantage of emission reductions from low-carbon fuel usage.

“We are pleased to work with a like-minded partner in Microsoft, sharing our ambition to scale the use of low-carbon fuels to reduce emissions in the maritime industry,” says Anne Jensen, COO at Norden.

“With the addition of Microsoft to our portfolio of customers, we are demonstrating that Norden can help any company that is dependent on maritime transportation in reducing its supply chain emissions in the here and now, while we, as a carrier, overcome the challenges of limited geographic availability of low-carbon fuels.”

“This project with Norden, together with our pilot with the RSB, will further develop the important registry infrastructure required to help Microsoft lower our maritime supply chain emissions in a transparent and credible way, while fostering the growth of sustainable maritime fuels” said Julia Fidler, environmental sustainability - fuel and material decarbonization lead at Microsoft.
