- Its almost one year of continuous biofuel operation on Autosky.
- The company has the opportunity to reflect on what we have achieved with this fantastic vessel in the past 12 months.
- They have bunkered over 6,000 metric tonnes of biofuel in this period, exclusively supplied by GoodFuels, the leading provider of sustainable marine fuels in our region.
A recent news article published in the UECC reveals the 12 months review pertaining to Biofuel on Autosky.
Biofuel from a variety of feedstocks
The fuel itself has been derived from a variety of feedstocks, including processed used cooking oil.
All of the biofuel we have consumed in the past 12 months has been sustainably sourced and has utilised waste and residues with no higher quality application available.
No technical modifications
The switch to these biofuels required little to no technical modifications on the vessel and the fuel has been handled onboard by our expert engineers without any issue.
The results are striking; a reduction of over 20 million kilograms of CO2 emissions, an absolute reduction of more than 9,000 kilos of sulphur oxide emissions and a similarly total reduction in Particulate Matter.
Carbon Intensity of the Autosky
To put into context what this means for our customers, we can look at the Carbon Intensity of the Autosky on a grams of CO2 per tonne-km basis:
2018:- 85.51 gCO2/tkm
2019:- 85.62 gCO2/tkm
2020:- 35.96 gCO2/tkm
That’s a 58% reduction in Carbon Intensity!
Keep in mind that the Initial IMO GHG Strategy aims to reduce carbon intensity by 40% by 2030 and you can see that UECC is really In Front of this ambitious objective!
