WALLENIUS SOL Customers Can Opt for Biogas

October 4, 2024

WALLENIUS SOL is enhancing its commitment to sustainable maritime infrastructure by launching a biogas offering that allows customers to “Lighten the Load” by purchasing liquefied biogas (LBG) corresponding to their fuel consumption.

“It may seem unusual for a shipping company to talk about ‘lightening the load,’ but this is about reducing our environmental impact through renewable fuels,” says CEO Elvir Dzanic.

With growing demand for renewable options, WALLENIUS SOL’s LBG service is ISCC-certified, offering customers a way to reduce their carbon footprint and ETS costs. “Reducing environmental impact is a collaborative effort,” adds Sustainability Manager Rebecca Tagaeus. “By offering flexible biogas options, we support a gradual shift from fossil fuels.”

Customers can choose between 10 to 100% LBG for their fuel mix. In 2022, WALLENIUS SOL introduced multi-fuel ice-classed vessels, BOTNIA ENABLER and BALTIC ENABLER, which lead their category in CO2 efficiency. “Together with our customers, we can accelerate the transition to renewable fuels,” says Tagaeus.
