“Petrobras” will sell renewable bunker fuel
Brazilian “Petrobras” has received permission from the National Agency for Oil, Natural Gas and Biofuels to sell bunker fuels with renewable components, the company's press release.
B24 fuel with a very low sulfur content is obtained by mixing petroleum bunker fuel and biodiesel in a ratio of 76% to 24%. The biodiesel used is certified by ISCC EU RED (in the field of sustainable development and greenhouse gas emissions).
It should be noted that in 2020, IMO rules came into force prescribing the use of fuel with a maximum sulfur content of 0.5% in shipping instead of the previous 3.5% (with the exception of ships equipped with scrubbers).
According to S&P Global, against the background of this directive, in 2022, the consumption of low-sulfur marine fuel reached 143.1 million tons - 45% of total demand.
In addition, the World Shipping Council (WSC) recently proposed charging carbon charges from ships using high-emission fuels in favor of "clean" fuel vessels.
