MASH Energy preparing to ship biofuel for testing at Alfa Laval lab

In Denmark, MASH Energy will soon be ready to ship their biofuel for testing in Alfa Laval’s test lap 4 stroke engine in Aalborg, Denmark. MASH energy produces biofuel from leftover nut shells after harvesting in India. Their second-generation biofuel is made from pyrolysis, a process where organic materials are chemically decomposed at elevated temperatures without oxygen. The biofuel is a B11 blend, consisting of 11% biofuel and 89% DMA (Marine Diesel). It’s 100% ISO8217 and RMG180 compliant, meaning it’s officially fit for use on ships. Following successful testing the next goal is trying the B11 biofuel on DFDS’s vessel Pearl Seaways. DFDS has recently been granted the permission to carry out this test from the Danish Maritime Authority.
