StormFisher Hydrogen and CarbonLeap Partner to Unlock Scope 3 Reductions for Cargo Owners of Transatlantic Freight. Français
TORONTO and AMSTERDAM, Feb. 10, 2026 /CNW/ – StormFisher Hydrogen Ltd. (“StormFisher”) and CarbonLeap B.V. (“CarbonLeap”) today announced a partnership to support Scope 3 emission reductions in transatlantic maritime logistics. The collaboration links StormFisher’s Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO)-certified e-Methanol with CarbonLeap’s efforts to scale freight decarbonisation for European customers and transatlantic trade routes.
The model bridges a long-standing gap by sharing the cost of switching from conventional marine fuels to e-Methanol between carriers and cargo owners. StormFisher’s e-Methanol reduces lifecycle carbon intensity by more than 85%, while CarbonLeap’s book-and-claim approach allows cargo owners to claim these benefits regardless of vessel or carrier, supporting sustainability strategies and lowering reported transport emissions.
Reducing transport-related Scope 3 emissions remains challenging for cargo owners navigating complex, multi-carrier supply chains. Through this partnership, CarbonLeap provides a one-stop, cost-competitive pathway to low-carbon maritime transport using StormFisher’s e-Methanol, produced in Canada under EU-recognised standards. The collaboration expands access to high-quality solutions and delivers verified emissions reductions.
StormFisher supplies the e-Methanol; carriers deploy it on selected voyages; and CarbonLeap aggregates cargo-owner demand to enable co-financing and Scope 3 claims. Together, this ecosystem connects fuel production, vessel operations, and trusted verification to deliver scalable value-chain impact.
Ashkan Shoja-Nia, EVP of Strategy and Business Development at StormFisher, said:
As cargo owners seek verifiable Scope 3 emission reductions, many have been limited by access to low-carbon marine fuels,
“This partnership enables cargo owners to achieve measurable value-chain emissions reductions and advance their climate objectives.”
Bertil Duinhouwer, CEO of CarbonLeap, said:
Cargo owners are under growing pressure to show progress on supply-chain decarbonisation, yet serving global markets demands new, scalable solutions,
“This collaboration expands access to low-emissions maritime transport and, through shared cost structures and economies of scale, improves affordability, supporting progress toward climate targets on EU trade lanes.”
