UECC cuts fuel carbon intensity by 58% in 12 months with GoodFuels trial

In the UK, UECC says that over the past 12 months it has bunkered over 6,000 metric tons of biofuel, exclusively supplied by GoodFuels. The fuel itself has been derived from a variety of feedstocks, including processed used cooking oil. All of the biofuel it has consumed in the past 12 months has been sustainably sourced and has utilized waste and residues with no higher quality application available.

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 sulfur oxide emissions and a similarly total reduction in Particulate Matter.

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 ton-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, keeping in mind that the Initial IMO GHG Strategy aims to reduce carbon intensity by 40% by 2030.
