A new method for FAME bio bunker fuel fingerprinting presented by GCMD

Fingerprinting can be used to verify the validity of biofuels and detect fraud in marine fuel supply chains. It also identifies the feedstock origins of FAME-based biofuels used in the shipping industry. A new method that generates a fingerprint for Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) bio bunker fuels was presented in the most recent paper
