PRIO, a producer of biofuels from residual raw materials in Europe, on Friday (16 February) said it delivered the first supply of ECO Bunkers B20 via a truck-to-ship operation in Aveiro Port.
The firm supplied 50 tonnes of B20 to Schulte & Bruns Nederland BV’s cargo ship FWN SUN resulting in a reduction of 40 tonnes of CO2 and a reduction of up to 87.8% in greenhouse gases, compared to traditional fossil fuels.
“This initiative not only promotes more sustainable shipping, but also demonstrates the joint commitment to sustainability,” the firm said in a social media post.
Telmo Ferreira, who is responsible for PRIO’s Emerging Business and Shipping, highlighted that the increase in demand for quality and environmentally friendly marine fuels motivated the company to develop ECO Bunkers.
According to the firm, ECO Bunkers is an advanced biofuel blend that combines 20% renewable energy with high-quality marine diesel, offering a sustainable solution to the needs of the sector.
