Europe receives marine fuel from Dansuk

Dansuk, a South Korean biodiesel producer, supplied 3,000t of sustainable marine fuel (SMF) to the Netherlands this month. It is the company’s first export to Europe.

The company produces 50,000 t/yr of SMF at its Pyeongtaek and Siheung factories in Gyeonggi province. The SMF is a blend of fatty acid pitch and acid oil pitch by-products of biodiesel made from used cooking oil and animal fats.

The company is also considering supplying Singapore and its domestic market, although South Korea currently has no incentives or mandates for its use.
