Bangchak Sriracha Public Company Limited (BSRC) on Thursday (27 February) announced the delivery of its first load of B24 marine biofuel at Laem Chabang Port, Sriracha, Chonburi.
A total of 470 metric tonnes (mt) of B24, produced at Bangchak Sriracha Refinery, was supplied to NYK Line’s car carrier IRIS LEADER.
BSRC has been certified under the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC EU) standard for the production of B24 marine biofuel and officially began supplying sustainable marine biofuels to customers.
“This milestone reinforces BSRC’s position as a global leader in sustainable marine biofuel. The new product has already attracted strong interest from shipping companies, particularly those from Japan,” BSRC said.
The B24 marine biofuel consists of 24% UCOME (Used Cooking Oil Methyl Ester) blended with 0.5% very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO).
“It is a low-emission biofuel that can directly replace fossil fuels without requiring modifications to ship engines or fueling infrastructure,” the company added.
“This innovation offers a practical and immediate solution for reducing carbon emissions in the maritime industry.”
