Biofuels are emerging as one of the most promising green alternatives to conventional marine fuels. Their production from renewable feedstocks significantly reduces lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions compared with fossil fuel alternatives, and many biofuels are “drop-in” compatible. Stringent regulations like the European Union’s FuelEU Maritime directive are driving demand for...

In the race toward a sustainable energy future, renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) are emerging as pivotal biofuels. These fuels, derived from hydrogenated oils and fats, known as HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) and HEFA (Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids), offer a cleaner alternative to traditional fossil fuels. However, with the potential of these renewable fuels comes...
