The dredging and marine expert, Boskalis, and a power service provider for marine and energy markets, Wärtsilä, have collaborated with GoodFuels Marine, a marine biofuel company.
The collaboration will pioneer the development of sustainable marine biofuels for the shipping industry. GoodFuels Marine and its partners will spearhead a two-year program to accelerate the development of sustainable and affordable marine biofuels.
The program's focus will be on analyzing feedstock, securing industry certification, and preparing the building blocks for large-scale production. The partners will also initiate a global study aiming to identify tangible opportunities for scaling supply to the world's commercial shipping fleet.
With the objective of developing a fuel mix that is fully sustainable, the program seeks to promote a lower carbon footprint for the maritime sector.
