Biofuel supplied to “Midnight Dream” is a blend of about 24% biodiesel (B24) with VLSFO, by which about 750 tonnes of CO2 emission is expected to be cut down, says MOL.
Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) on Friday (4 April) announced the successful completion of a biodiesel-blended marine fuel (biofuel) bunkering on its capesize bulk carrier, Midnight Dream.
In March, the vessel was supplied with about 1,000 tons of biofuel in Singapore, initiating MOL’s first use of biofuel in collaboration with BHP Group Ltd on its capesize bulk carrier.
Biofuel is made from organic resources (biomass) of biological origin, such as agricultural residues and waste cooking oil.
The biofuel bunkered by the vessel is a blend of about 24% biodiesel (B24) with Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO), by which about 750 tonnes of CO2 emission is expected to be cut down.
