CTI-Maritec has tested quite a number of biodiesel blends in residual marine fuel, typically the biodiesel blends are ranged from B20 to B30. It has been offering full range of biodiesel blends testing for bunker fuels since early 2022.
In addition to the ISO 8217 parameters, it is highly recommended that biodiesel blends also be measured for FAME content and lower calorific value.
The tests were conducted with the approval of Unified Interpretation of regulation 18.3 of MARPOL Annex VI, with regard to the use of biofuels, by Marine Environmental Protection Committee (MEPC).
CTI-Maritec expects to receive more biodiesel blends for analysis as more vessel owners will switch to biodiesel blends in order to comply with the regulatory requirements on reduction of GHG emissions especially reduction of carbon intensity from international shipping.
