Biodiesel, Vegetable Oil Seen Relatively Practical for Ship Diesel Engines - EMSA

摘要

A new Potential of Biofuels for Shipping report from the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) finds that bio- diesel blends of up to 20% in marine diesel oil (MDO) or marine gasoil (MGO) “seem the most promising fuel for shipping, aside from 100% replacement of HFO [heavy fuel oil] by straight vegetable oils, due to best compatibility with current [marine diesel] engines and supply chain.”
