Tanker operator Stolt Tankers, part of London-based transportation group Stolt-Nielsen Limited, has bunkered one of its barges with 100% renewable fuel for the first time, reaching a new milestone in its sustainability journey.
The barge Stolt Main was bunkered with HVO100, a synthetic renewable diesel produced from processed vegetable oils or animal-based fats to reduce carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and sulphur emissions.
By switching to HVO100 supplied by GoodFuels, Stolt Main is expected to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 90%.
Prior to this move, Stolt Main and several other Stolt Tankers vessels have been running on HVO20, a 20:80 blend of HVO, for more than three years.
Stolt Tankers has been researching and testing biofuels in its ships as part of its long-term sustainability strategy and partnered with GoodFuels in 2021.
