AIDAprima refueled with GoodFuels’ sustainable biofuel in a test bunkering during a stopover in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
AIDAprima is the first large passenger ship to use Netherlands-based GoodFuels’ sustainable marine biofuel.
Owing to its ‘drop in’ properties, AIDAprima was not required to undergo any modifications to the engine or tanks to enable the biofuel bunkering.
This biofuel is functionally equivalent to petroleum-derived fuels while virtually free of sulfur oxides and can be used in already installed main engines without modifications to the engine or fuel infrastructure.
GoodFuels’ next-generation sustainable biofuel is derived from feedstocks certified as 100% waste or residue – such as waste cooking oil – blended with marine gas oil, with no land-use issues and no competition with food production or deforestation. It enables a well-to-exhaust CO2 reduction of 80-90% when compared to fossil fuels.
