Biofuels producer PRIO recently announced World Fuel Services voluntarily bunkered a biofuel blend on their time-chartered barge MT WHITDAWN, which is owned by John H.Whitaker (Tankers).
The operation, which took place on 25 September at the Port of Aveiro, used ECO Bunkers B15, a biofuel blend for ships with 15% biodiesel developed by Prio which can reduce GHG emissions by up to 88%.
“In order to reduce its carbon footprint, PRIO promotes the integration of biofuels into the supply chain by offering sustainable solutions for ships calling at the Port of Aveiro,” it said in a social media post.
The main focus is on Jetty 26, which is responsible for receiving advanced raw materials for biodiesel production.
“This sustainability is proven by the documentation delivered to the ship, which meets the regulatory requirements of the EU and the International Maritime Organization (IMO),” the firm added.
Manifold Times previously reported PRIO delivering the first supply of ECO Bunkers B20, an advanced biofuel blend that combines 20% renewable energy with marine diesel, via a truck-to-ship operation in Aveiro Port.
Prio also launched ECO Bunkers B30, a 30% blend of advanced biofuel from waste feedstocks, produced at PRIO’s biodiesel plant and blended at PRIO’s tank terminal in Aveiro.
