Good fuels and blockchain savings
It is a special coalition: BHP, the Japanese shipping company NYK, Good Fuels and Bloc recently delivered sustainable biofuels to the BHP-chartered, NYK-owned bulk carrier "Frontier Sky". The CO2 savings have been verified with Bloc’s blockchain fuels assurance platform.
The advanced biofuel, supplied by Good Fuels and logistics partner Varo Energy, is a drop-in marine gasoil (MGO)-equivalent, and was blended with conventional fossil-based MGO in a mix of 30% biofuel to 70% conventional MGO.
This delivery to the bulk carrier saved over 50 t of CO2, equivalent to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of approximately 125,000 car miles. The use of this his carbon neutral fuel sets the stage for further emission savings, an important step in the decarbonisation strategies of both BHP and NYK. (kd)
