Victrol performing Sea Trial with Bio-Fuel

Great to share that ExxonMbil and Victrol completed a successful sea trial of the first marine biofuel oil with shipping company Stena Bulk. This was bunkered in the port of Rotterdam.

The marine bio fuel oil is a 0.50% sulphur residual-based fuel (VLSFO) processed with a second generation waste-based FAME component (ISCC certified).

This trial demonstrates that the marine biofuel oil, which can provide a CO2 emission reduction of up to 40%(*) compared with conventional marine fuel, can be used in a relevant marine application without modification and can help operators take a significant step towards meeting their carbon emissions reduction targets.


(*) Benefit compared to conventional petroleum-based VLSFO, calculated on an energy basis. Well-to-wake CO2 emissions reduction calculated using Directive 2009/30/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council Annex IV C. 1 and MEPC 66/21 Annex 5
