Sustainable Shipping: Focus on FAME biofuels
Maritime decarbonization is complex, and biofuels play a key role in reducing emissions. FAME (biodiesel) and HVO (renewable diesel) are the most established options for shipping.
FAME is produced from renewable sources like plant oils, animal fats, and waste biomass. When burned, it emits carbon dioxide and water vapor. As a pure fuel (B100), FAME can achieve net-zero emissions if carbon released during combustion is offset by the carbon absorbed during feedstock growth.
Keep in mind that…
- ISO 8217:2024 Update: The latest revision now includes FAME and synthetic or renewable paraffinic diesel fuels up to 100%.
- Adoption & Compliance: Relevant stakeholders must
