MPC Container Ships, INERATEC agreed for alternative fuel in shipping

MPC Container Ships and INERATEC have signed an agreement for the supply of synthetic marine diesel oil (MDO) made from biogenic CO2 and renewable hydrogen, with delivery set to start in 2024 to replace conventional fossil fuels used today by existing vessels.

Following projects that target the production of sustainable, car fuel and sustainable chemicals the MPCC partnership marks INERATEC’s entry into the shipping field.

INERATEC has already started the manufacturing phase for its plant in Frankfurt, where the majority of the sustainable fuel will be produced. After the commissioning phase it will deliver up to 3.5m litres of sustainable aviation fuel, marine diesel and synthetic chemicals. From there, the German clean tech company intends to open up other e-fuel production sites around the world.
