Wallenius SOL has switched one vessel to Advanced FAME B100 biofuel and is extending its use to its B-Class vessels, supported by regular deliveries in Terneuzen.
The move reduces the well-to-wake greenhouse gas intensity of the energy used onboard and creates a FuelEU Maritime compliance surplus. Through pooling, banking and borrowing, this surplus can help other vessels in the fleet meet their regulatory targets.
In a move to improve its environmental performance, part of the Corsica Linea fleet will now be powered by certified sustainable biofuel as from the 2023 summer season.
The biomolecule chosen – EMAG type, made from a blend of recycled cooking oils – achieves an 85% reduction in pollutant emissions compared with its fossil equivalent.
This step has been achieved without any regulatory constraints, with Petroineos as partner.
Corsica Linea’s ambition is to reduce CO2 emissions by 30% by 2030.
DFDS is investing in the biofuel producer MASH Energy. The company produces biofuel from agricultural waste in Tanzania.
DFDS signed an agreement to an investment of up to DKK 10 million, which will be made in three stages and eventually make DFDS a 24% shareholder of the company.
