Woot woot!🥳 Team Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) has completed the last of its #biofuels supply chain trials,⛓️ marking the end of a monstrous pilot we started in July 2022 to development a framework to provide quality, quantity and emissions abatement assurance for drop-in fuels. Announcement here: https://lnkd.in/g3feXCMw In scoping this pilot, we spoke with >150 stakeholders to understand their pain points:🤕 Fuel purchasers:💵 Despite the existence of certification schemes, like #ISCC,🔖 vulnerabilities exist in the #bunker fuel supply chain.⛓️💥 How do we accurately account for biofuels #emissions abatement factoring in emissions from its transport and blending?🚢 How can we increase confidence that the biofuels sourced sustainably?🌿 How certain are we that the biofuels have not been tempered?🙅🏻♀️ Fuel suppliers:🛢️ What does it take to scale uptake of biofuels? How do we provide more concrete justification for the price premium of biofuels?💹 We worked with fuel purchasers who nominated their fuel suppliers, and conducted our trials with vessels transporting cargo on their commercial routes.🗺️ About 10,000 MT of biofuel blends were bunkered to and consumed by 7 vessels calling at ports in Asia, Australia and Europe.🌏 With the largest vessel a 320,000 DWT VLCC, the 7 vessels sailed a total distance of 31,400 NM.📍 In these biofuels, we deployed physical tracers – synthetic DNA, element-based, organic-based and isotopes – to authenticate the origin🪪 and quantify the biofuels content in blends at key points along the supply chains. We also co-developed a fingerprinting🐾 methodology with VPS, and evaluated the "lock-and-seal"🔐 approach to ensure integrity of the biofuels supply chain. To boot, chemical analyses🧪 of samples collected along the supply chain confirm no degradation of biofuels under commercial operations conditions.👍🏻👍🏻 Read our analyses of biofuels: https://lnkd.in/gDXzbXiy The use of FAME- and HVO-based biofuels blended with HFO, VLSFO and MGO resulted GHG emissions reduction of 24% on a tank-to-wake basis and 20.3% on a well-to-wake basis compared to using fossil fuels across all four trials.📉 We are now compiling our learnings into an assurance framework to share with you!🫵🏻 Look out for our sharing in Q4 2024.👀 Thank you, partners, for teaching us and working with us on this pilot, the results of which should boost user confidence of biofuels as a marine fuel.🥰 CMA CGM, Ocean Network Express, Chevron, Angelicoussis Group, NYK Line, ASTOMOS ENERGY CORPORATION Eastern Pacific Shipping Pte. Ltd., Hapag-Lloyd AG, TotalEnergies, GoodFuels, bp, BunkerTrace, Control Union, IDS Comercial, Authentix Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) partially supported this trial through the #MINT fund.

Exciting update for Project LOTUS! Together with NYK Line and VPS, we witnessed the first bunkering of B24 biofuel blend (FAME + VLSFO) on NYK’s short-sea vehicle carrier as part of Project LOTUS. Project LOTUS is a six-month long project to trial the continuous use of biofuels to study its impact on engine performance and onboard systems operations. The project team worked closely with the vessel crew onboard to ensure that Project LOTUS’s plan was executed according to our specifications, ensuring that the data collected is robust and accurate, ultimately leading to meaningful results and insights. The pilot will involve monitoring and analysing impact on: ➡ Fuel quality: Quality of the biofuel blend will be systematically tracked and monitored throughout the supply chain, from bunkering to onboard consumption under operating conditions. ➡ Fuel delivery system: Physical inspection of the fuel delivery system and purifiers will be conducted to monitor for potential seal leakages, corrosion, clogging etc. ➡ Engine performance: Working with engine OEMs, detailed inspections will be conducted on engine components before and after switching to biofuels along with a lubricating oil analysis to assess its efficacy in protecting the engine’s moving parts from wear and tear. We're excited to share the insights and findings upon the project's completion. Special thanks to Captain Radha Krishnan, Chief Engineer Mr. V.M Cuong and the crew for executing the activities required for the trials. We have seen first-hand the care in which they carried out the activities yesterday. Thank you for hosting our team onboard the vessel! 🙌 Curious about our Project LOTUS?
