RSB has defined 12 principles with which biomaterials have to comply to be certified as sustainable and therefore be eligible for the RSB stamp of approval. These include levels of CO2 reduction, human rights impact and legal criteria.<\/p>\n
GoodFuels\u2019 certification, which assesses the sustainable viability of the biomaterials to generate marine bunker fuel, has been awarded for two years.<\/p>\n
Barbara Bramble, chair of RSB\u2019s Board of Directors, said: \u201cGoodFuels is working to change the story of marine shipping emissions. They aim to promote the use of RSB-certified \u2018drop-in’ marine fuels.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBy looking to source RSB certified fuels, GoodFuels will be paving the way for a more sustainable future for the marine transportation industry,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
\u2018Drop-in\u2019 biofuels are liquid hydrocarbons that are functionally equivalent to petroleum-based fuels, meaning that they can effectively be \u2018dropped in\u2019 to existing infrastructure.<\/p>\n
Together with its partners, dredging and marine expert Boskalis, and supplier of engines and power systems W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4, GoodFuels announced in October a two-year pilot programme to accelerate the development of sustainable, scalable and affordable drop-in biofuels for use in the commercial shipping industry.<\/p>\n
GoodFuels has also created a \u2018sustainability advisory board\u2019 of some of the world\u2019s experts on biofuel extraction, to ensure its products are 100% sustainable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
