Electricity Supply for Ships

AMS-III.BP.: Emission Reduction by Shore-Side Electricity Supply System applies to shore-side electricity supply to ships docked at berths, displacing electricity produced from ships’ fossil fuel auxiliary power generator(s). This methodology revision expands the scope of AMS-III.BP to include off-shore electricity supply systems such as power buoys that provide electricity to ships waiting off-shore to dock.

The proposed revision is being developed by Stillstrom A/S (external) and Carbonomics, LLC (external), and is currently at “Step 6: Final Verra Review and Decision” of the VCS Methodology Development and Review Process, v4.4 (PDF). Verra hosted a public consultation from February 13, 2024, to March 14, 2024.
