European marine fuel supplier Burando Energies on Wednesday (23 July) said it successfully supplied B100 straight-run FAME residue to multiple Teekay Tankers vessels operating across the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) region.
The delivery follows an earlier collaboration this year in Amsterdam, where Burando supplied Teekay with 30% FAME Residue/VLSFO blend.
With the transition to full-volume, second-generation biofuel, Burando said the companies have now progressed from exploration to execution, at commercial scale.
“This isn’t just a fuel delivery, it’s a signal of what’s now possible,” said Nick de Haan, Head of Decarbonisation Strategies at Burando.
“We’ve moved from testing to full operational deployment of FAME Residues as sustainable fuels, delivered with full ISCC certification, full traceability, and without compromising vessel performance. This is the kind of progress the industry needs and it’s happening today.”
The FAME Residue supplied by Burando is a second-generation biofuel derived exclusively from waste oils and residual feedstocks. Fully compliant with the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) framework, it offers a lower-emission, cost-effective alternative to conventional fossil fuels and can be used as a drop-in replacement in modern marine engines.
The ability to move from a blended pilot to a 100% sustainable marine fuel delivery within a few months showcases both the technical compatibility and commercial readiness of advanced renewable fuels in long-haul shipping.
“At Teekay, we don’t believe in theoretical decarbonisation, we believe in what works,” said Mads Bjornebye, Manager Bunker Services at Teekay Tankers.
“Burando’s ability to deliver certified, operationally proven biofuel, at volume, has allowed us to take real steps forward. We’re not just exploring options; we’re implementing solutions that align with both our environmental goals and our commercial standards.”
