Prospects of Marine Bio-Oil as a Marine Fuel

Marine biodiesel oil is a type of biofuel that is produced from renewable sources such as vegetable oils, animal fats, or algae. It is specifically designed for use in marine vessels as a substitute for traditional fossil fuels such as diesel. Marine biodiesel oil can be used in its pure form or blended with fossil diesel to create a mix that is suitable for use in marine engines.

The use of marine biodiesel oil is growing in popularity due to its potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other harmful pollutants. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set a goal to reduce the shipping industry's greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50% by 2050, and the use of biofuels like marine biodiesel oil is expected to play a role in achieving this target.

The market for marine biodiesel oil is expected to grow in the coming years due to increasing demand for more sustainable shipping practices. However, the availability and cost of feedstocks can impact the price of biodiesel, which may affect its adoption. Additionally, the performance and compatibility of marine engines with biodiesel can also be a factor in its adoption.

Overall, the future of marine biodiesel oil will depend on a variety of factors such as government policies, technological advancements, and the availability and cost of feedstocks. However, given its potential to reduce emissions and improve sustainability, marine biodiesel oil is expected to be an important component of the shipping industry's efforts to transition to more sustainable practices in the coming years.

1) Exxon mobile
End of November 2022, ExxonMobil Completes Successful Sea Trial of its First Marine Bio Fuel Oil
• Successful sea trial completed with leading tanker shipping company Stena Bulk
• Fuel can help deliver carbon dioxide emission reduction benefits to ship operators
• Fuel will be available in select European ports starting later this year
ExxonMobil has completed a successful sea trial of the company’s first marine bio fuel oil with shipping company Stena Bulk, bunkered in the port of Rotterdam. The marine bio fuel oil is a 0.50% sulphur residual-based fuel (VLSFO) processed with a second generation waste-based FAME component (ISCC certified) - and will be available later this year – initially in Rotterdam - before wider launch across the ExxonMobil port network.

2) BP
In Mid of 2021, Rio Tinto and bp have agreed to work together on a one-year biofuel trial to help reduce carbon emissions from Rio Tinto’s marine fleet. 
 
Under the trial, bp is supplying Rio Tinto with marine biofuel for approximately 12 months. The fuel will be trialled on Rio Tinto’s RTM Tasman vessel on a mix of Transatlantic and Atlantic-Pacific routes, in one of the longest-duration marine biofuel trials to date.  The results of the trial will help Rio Tinto study ways to reduce its carbon emissions from its marine fleet and inform its future biofuel strategy.

The extended trial agreement follows a successful journey on the RTM Tasman after it refuelled with biofuel in Rotterdam in March 2022 for the first time and then picked up its first load of the trial at the Iron Ore Company of Canada’s Sept-Îles port in Quebec in April. All biofuel refuelling during the trial will be at Rotterdam.

The trial is using a bp-manufactured B30 biofuel blend composed of 30% fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) blended with very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO). This B30 biofuel blend can reduce lifecycle carbon dioxide emissions by up to 26% compared to standard marine fuel oil.
