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

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 to understand where mass balance builds real trust and where it risks undermining it. And below, download our Mass Balance Assessment Tool: a due diligence tool for assessing the credibility of low-emission product claims.
