Rohe Solutions on Tuesday (8 April) announced the commencement of its bio-LNG bunkering in various Finnish ports and in the Hamina LNG terminal, in addition to LNG.
Rohe Solutions recently completed the very first bunkering with bio-LNG in the Hamina LNG terminal. The bunkering that took place on 21 February was completed successfully in collaboration with the client, E&S Tankers, and the Hamina LNG terminal.
The operation also marked E&S Tankers’ vessel John T. Essberger completing its first Bio-LNG bunkering at the Hamina LNG Terminal in Finland.
As a result of Rohe having begun the liquefaction of bio-LNG from the grid in the Hamina LNG terminal, it is now possible to bunker vessels entirely with bio-LNG, produced from renewable sources. LNG and Bio-LNG are both methane-based gases.
Thus, they can also be mixed with one another to offer a possibility for lower emissions with reasonable costs.
“This first bio-LNG bunkering is a major milestone for Rohe. We are proud to offer renewable fuels for maritime operations and contribute to a more sustainable future by bringing Rohe’s bio-LNG to the market,” said Joel Unha, Rohe Solutions’ Sales Manager.
By bunkering with renewable fuel, E&S Tankers can take concrete steps towards reaching its goals regarding use of renewable fuels.
Procurement Manager Daniel Karstens from E&S Tankers, said:“We are pleased to have partnered with Rohe Solutions Oy for the first and successful Bio-LNG bunkering of our vessel, John T. Essberger.”
“This marks a significant step in reducing GHG emissions and advancing our sustainable ambitions. Collaborations like this are essential in making renewable fuels more accessible to the entire industry, and we look forward to making further progress together!”
