The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) has found that emissions from a dual-fuel liquified petroleum gas (LPG) vessel saw a 20% reduction when using vegetable oil blended biofuel as opposed to very low sulphur fuel oil, says an article published on offshore-technology.

Pilot fuel for LPG propulsion

GCMD has been undertaking a series of trials using different biofuel blends in maritime shipping to reduce CO₂ emissions.

The latest blend, used in the third of...
