Abu Dhabi National Oil Company exploring biofuel for marine transporation

February 3, 2020 |

In the UAE, the National newspaper reports that the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company plans to trial the use of biofuel in shipping on the back of pressure from the International Maritime Organization’s new Sulphur limits for bunker fuel that came into effect on January 1. Trials will be done with ferry runs from Abu Dhabi to offshore rigs in order to test out the fuel. LNG and LPG are also being trialed in addition to biofuel blends.
