Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) on Friday (19 September) said MOL-owned capsize bulk carrier, Lambert Maru, has started its first biofuel-powered voyage for global mining company Anglo American, the ship’s charterer.
This comes following the successful completion of biodiesel-blended marine fuel (biofuel) bunkering in Singapore on 14 September.
“The greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction value delivered through this voyage will be allocated to Anglo American using digital certification. It can be incorporated into integrated reports or other disclosures as part of its Scope 3 reduction activities,” MOL said.
The biofuel used for this refuelling is a B30 blend certified under the International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC-EU), consisting of 30% biomass (organic resources derived from living organisms, such as waste cooking oil).
It is expected to reduce CO2 emissions during navigation by approximately 30% compared to conventional fossil fuels.
