Italian navy testing use of biofuels on warships

July 15, 2013 |

In Italy, the navy is currently testing new-generation biofuels made from non-food biomass such as algae, agricultural residues and general wastes. The product will be tested by propelling a warship on biofuel this year. It is designed to be compatible with existing NATO naval fuel to avoid costly work to modify equipment and systems. Ultimately, the objective is to develop a single fuel for use by all the armed forces.
