TotalEnergies Marine Fuels on Wednesday (8 December) said it has published a new white paper – The Drive for Cleaner Marine Fuels – to offer shipping operators and owners valuable insights to help them navigate their vessel fleet’s energy transition in the short to long-term.
The new 44-page white paper looks at the key drivers shaping the move to shipping’s decarbonisation, key timelines motivating the transition and TotalEnergies’ investments, plans and collaborations to help its shipping customers make an effective and successful move to lower and zero-carbon fuels of the future.
“The white paper underscores TotalEnergies Marine Fuels’ commitment and confidence in guiding and supporting the shipping sector through its decarbonisation journey, from the supply of current solutions – notably LNG and biofuels – to the development of future marine fuels, including green hydrogen-based fuels,” commented Jérôme Leprince-Ringuet, Vice-President Marine Fuels, TotalEnergies.
“Through our insights, knowledge and thinking, we hope to help develop a greater understanding of the key areas and considerations ship owners and operators will need to address, as they move towards tomorrow’s marine fuels landscape.”

Webinar will offer delegates insights on the prevention of operational issues when using VLSFOs, along with an update on biofuels and bunker fuel quality trends for 2021 and its forecast for the current year.
Heating VLSFOs to prevent cold flow issues causes issues related to distillate ageing, and there is a gentle balance to be maintained when handling the product.
Research into n-paraffin distribution of VLSFOs has shown that they not only differ from MGO, but significantly differ from each other as well, states bulletin.
