Carbon transparency for our customers
A documented product carbon footprint for the CE20-500, built to the IMPA IMEF Standard — so shipowners get audit-grade Scope 3 data, not an estimate.
To Our Shiponwer and Fleet Customers
The equipment you buy shows up in your carbon accounts.
We want to make sure the number is right.
Shipowners are now being asked for verifiable emissions data by banks, charterers, classification societies and regulators. Most of what sits inside a vessel — pumps, motors, steel, paint — still gets counted in Scope 3 using a generic spend-based factor. That’s a rough approximation. It is also difficult to defend in an audit and impossible to act on.
DEN-JET has chosen to invest in primary measurement. The footprint of our CE20-500 is now calculated to the IMPA Maritime Environmental Footprint (IMEF) Standard, following ISO 14067 and the GHG Protocol. The result on this page is the number we stand behind, the method we used, and the assumptions we made — stated plainly.
If you operate a fleet and report on Scope 3, you can use this page as Scope 3 Category 1 (Purchased goods) or Category 2 (Capital goods) input data. Request the IMEF digital record and your carbon accounting system can ingest it directly.

01
What this gives you
Four concrete things for your sustainability, procurement and finance teams:
Audit-grade Scope 3 input
A defensible number for CSRD / ESRS E1, IFRS S2 and GHG Protocol Scope 3 Category 1 and 2. Traceable back to BoM, method and data sources.
Maritime-aligned standard
Follows the IMPA IMEF Standard v0.5 for maritime supply chains - the method your peers are adopting under Sea Cargo Charter and Poseidon Principles reporting.
ERP-ready data record
IMEF digital transaction record (19 fields) for direct ingestion into SAP, Infor M3, Oracle or carbon accounting platforms. No manual reconciliation.
Reduction roadmap, not marketing
Hotspots identified at component level (motor, box, pump). You see exactly where we're working to reduce the footprint — and when the next number lands.
02
Why this is better than a spend-based estimate
Most Scope 3 Category 1 accounting today uses a spend-based method: purchase price multiplied by a generic emission factor for the product category. The GHG Protocol allows it for initial screening, but recommends replacing it with supplier-specific activity data as soon as it’s available.
Here is the same purchase — one CE20-500 at a reference price of USD 5,500 — scored both ways.

GHG PROTOCOL HIERARCHY
Supplier-specific data. The preferred method in the Scope 3 Standard.
For a fleet operator buying 40 CE20-500 units per year, switching from a spend-based estimate to this activity-based PCF replaces a wide uncertainty range of
roughly 77 – 145 tonnes CO₂e with a single, defensible figure of ≈ 55 tonnes CO₂e — and removes a recurring audit finding from your Scope 3 Category 1 disclosure.
Note: the USD 5,500 reference price and the 40-units-per-year fleet figure are illustrative. Your own price and volumes apply. Emission factors cited: USEEIO v2.0 and EXIOBASE

What we measured
The 1,367 kg CO₂e figure covers the lifecycle stages from raw material extraction up to the point the finished unit leaves our factory gate. It does not cover
transport to the customer, installation, the use-phase, maintenance, or end-of-life.

Where the emissions come from
Five sub-assemblies plus manufacturing electricity account for virtually the whole footprint. The motor is the single largest contributor at 45 %. This is where a
procurement conversation about reduction actually starts.

Data quality — stated plainly
The 1,367 kg CO₂e figure is based on a Basic data-quality level. Most inputs are modelled from product-level bills of material matched to generic ecoinvent
datasets, not yet from supplier-specific primary data. We publish the score openly so you can judge for yourself how much weight to give it.

What this means for you. The result is fit for hotspot analysis and for Scope 3 reporting at the current CSRD/ESRS E1 level of precision. Read with an uncertainty band of roughly ±20–30 % at the total level.
What will improve it. Supplier-specific EPDs for the motor, box and pump (our three largest contributors), and primary energy data for A3.
Planned next update. Target quality score ≥ 3.5, with third-party verification, in the next revision.

What this number is — and is not
Carbon disclosures are often dressed up with language that isn’t supported by the underlying figure. We’d rather be useful than impressive.
IT IS
A cradle-to-gate product carbon footprint for one CE20-500 unit, following a
published method.
A starting baseline against which we can measure our own progress over time.
A number you can include in your Scope 3 (Categories 1 & 2) accounting under CSRD / ESRS E1 and IFRS S2.
Transparent about scope, data quality and uncertainty.
IT IS NOT
A claim that this product is “green”, “low-carbon”, “climate-neutral” or “ecofriendly”.
An offset, a certificate, or a licence to market the product as sustainable.
A comparison against competitors — we don’t have like-for-like data to make that claim credibly.
A full life-cycle assessment. Use-phase emissions (electricity and water) are not included and are typically much larger than the embodied footprint.

Our reduction roadmap
The point of measuring a footprint is to act on what it tells you. Our plan for the CE20-500 baseline is concrete, time-bound and limited to what we can actually influence.
01 · By Q4 2026
Supplier primary data
Collect supplier EPDs or primary LCA data for the motor, box and pump. These three items carry 82 % of the current footprint.
02 · By Q2 2027
Manufacturing energy switch
Transition A3 electricity to a verified renewable contract. Quantified effect on the 46.5 kg A3 share reported in the next revision.
03 · By end 2027
Cradle-to-grave
Extend the boundary to include use-phase. This shows where the fleet operator can influence total lifecycle emissions through how the unit is operated.
