FincoEnergies on Thursday (4 December) launched GoodFuels B15, a 15% FAME-based biofuel blend that helps the Dutch maritime industry reduce emissions immediately.
With GoodFuels B15, FincoEnergies provides shipowners with a practical, reliable drop-in solution at a time when the need for concrete decarbonisation measures continues to grow.
Now that the regulatory framework for higher FAME blends has been clarified, FincoEnergies provides inland and coastal shipping companies with a tangible step towards more sustainable operations they can take today.
Fully aligned with the needs of the inland shipping sector, the blend meets the specifications defined by Koninklijke Binnenvaart Nederland (KBN), ensuring it matches day-to-day practice on board.
GoodFuels B15 builds on FincoEnergies’ extensive experience with sustainable marine fuels and insights from its B15 inland shipping trial.
Bas Goedegebuure, responsible for inland shipping at FincoEnergies, said “With GoodFuels B15, we offer shipowners a sustainable biofuel blend that performs as they expect: stable throughout the year, truly sustainable and fully compatible with their existing engines and operations.
“It’s a concrete step towards decarbonisation they can take today, without complexity or disruption.”
GoodFuels B15 was developed through close collaboration between FincoEnergies and Argent Energy. As one of Europe’s producers of waste-based biodiesel, Argent Energy contributed deep feedstock expertise and technical knowledge. FincoEnergies leveraged its long-standing experience in sustainable marine fuels and operational understanding of the inland marine sector. Together, these strengths resulted in a stable, reliable and high-quality FAME blend that meets the technical expectations of Dutch shipowners.
GoodFuels B15 is now available to the Dutch maritime industry, utilising a bunkering process identical to that of regular diesel. The FAME blend is already available at Oliehandel Terlouw, along with higher FAME blends up to B30 for shipowners aiming for even more CO₂ reduction.
