This report explores how the IMO can greatly benefit from a system like C3 to implement its Net Zero Fund. It provides a detailed comparison between MEPC's regulatory framework for maritime decarbonization and C3's market-driven approach using tradable inset credits. We highlight C3's potential as ready-to-use operational infrastructure for implementing MEPC measures, emphasizing its role in addressing financing shortfalls, ensuring additionality, and accelerating net-zero goals. Also, MEPC measures may be delayed or not adopted, positioning C3 as an essential voluntary tool for committed nations to pursue Net Zero goals through bilateral or multilateral agreements.
