Mass balance: building trust in clean industry’s supply chains

Tool for decarbonising heavy industry. Our report: Principles and Guardrails for Credible Mass Balance Claims gives buyers, producers and standard setters a clear framework for designing and assessing credible mass balance claims.

Clean fuels and materials rarely travel in a straight line from producer to buyer — they share pipelines, ports and processing plants with conventional products, passing through many hands before reaching the automotive, construction or shipping sectors that use them. Mass balance is one of the key tools helping track and verify low-emission content through this shared infrastructure, but its flexibility means not all systems are equally credible.

Our report: Principles and Guardrails for Credible Mass Balance Claims gives buyers, producers and standard setters a clear framework for designing and assessing mass balance systems. Download it, including our due-diligence assessment tool in section 6, to understand where mass balance builds real trust and where it risks undermining it.

Mission Possible Partnership | MPP

Mission Possible Partnership (MPP) is an independent non-profit organisation advancing global clean industry transformation. Since 2019, we have been working with some of the most energy-intensive industries: aluminium, aviation, cement, chemicals, shipping and steel, to cut their nearly 25% of global GHG emissions. ​

We mobilise business, finance, government and civil society leaders to speed up the shift to clean materials, chemicals and fuels. Having charted sectoral pathways to net-zero, we continue to forge new territory, lifting the barriers to enable a critical mass of clean industrial projects to break ground by 2030.

Mission Possible Partnership has people and partners on the ground in North America, Brazil, Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, India and Asia Pacific.

Industrial Transition Accelerator | ITA

The ITA is a global multi-stakeholder platform -managed by Mission Possible Partnership – to fast-track decarbonisation across heavy-emitting industry and transport sectors.  It aims to significantly grow the pipeline of commercial-scale, clean industrial projects to reduce emissions by 2030.

Build Clean Now | BCN

Build Clean Now is a global campaign bringing together governments, companies and finance to accelerate the pace at which clean industrial projects are financed and built, year-on-year. It is led by the Industrial Transition Accelerator (ITA) and Mission Possible Partnership (MPP).
