Going deeper into biodiesel fuel


There are four players in the game. MOL, its affiliate MOL Chemical Tankers (MOLCT), the commodity trading company Trafigura and its vessel fuel supply joint-venture company TFG Marine recently inked a memorandum of understanding (MOU) concerning a joint study on the full-scale supply of biodiesel fuel (BDF) for MOLCT-operated vessels in bunkering ports around the world.

 

The companies plan to establish a global supply of BDF for MOLCT’s operated fleet. As a part of the joint study, the companies have conducted a sea trial using TFG Marine-supplied BDF on the MOLCT-operated chemical tanker “Niseko Galaxy”. The use of BDF is expected to achieve a 25 to 30% reduction in CO2 emissions on a mix of 30% BDF and 70% conventional heavy fuel oil. (sh)
