HVO

Efen and Wilson Sons carry out Brazil’s first maritime sector HVO fueling

In late March, Efen (formerly NXT) and Wilson Sons carried out the first HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) fueling operation in Brazil’s maritime sector. The operation was conducted at the Açu Liquid Bulk Terminal (TLA), owned by Vast Infraestrutura.

This marks the first test of HVO (a form of renewable diesel) on a marine vessel in Brazil and was approved in February by Brazil’s National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) HVO was imported by Efen (a joint venture between BP and...

Rolls-Royce MTU large engines now approved for HVO and IMO III

Rolls-Royce reports that its MTU Series 1163 and 8000 large engines in all cylinder variants – 16 and 20V in each case – in the power range between 4,800 and 10,000 kW are now available with SCR systems for compliance IMO III emission requirements. This enables ship operators to enter Emission Control Areas (ECA), for example in the Baltic and North Sea and off the North American coast. In addition, Rolls-Royce has now approved these MTU engines for operation with sustainable fuels (DIN EN15940,...

White Paper: Battery electric vs. hydrogen fuel cell vs. HVO – which is the winning technology?

Various types of heavy-haul transportation claim to be environmentally friendly, but just how resilient one type of technology or fuel might be depends on a range of factors – such as the GHG emissions associated with producing the required fuel and whether there is a feasible chance that this type of fuel can meet the overall transportation demand.

In this white paper, Einride compares the three most talked-about alternatives to diesel – battery electric, HVO biofuel, and hydrogen fuel cell –...
