Asahi Tanker has conducted bunkering for the ocean-going LPG carrier Buena Reina with marine biofuel (B24). Buena Reina was chartered by Marubeni Corporation and the operation took place in Tokyo Bay, the largest port in Japan.
The marine biofuel is a blend of conventional bunker fuel oil (VLSFO) and approximately 24% biofuel.
The biofuel is composed of biomass (organic resources derived from living organisms), waste oil, which is a by-product of biodiesel (fatty acid methyl ester, abbreviated as FAME) production from waste cooking oil, and green methanol extracted from by-product gas generated in the wood pulp production process. This is a fully recycled green fuel that emits virtually no CO2.
