Van Oord uses first biofuel blend in Norway
Van Oord achieved a significant milestone in its decarbonization efforts with the first delivery of biofuel for its 2011-built flexible fallpipe vessel.
As explained, the delivered biofuel is a B30 blend, consisting of 30% hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) and 70% marine gasoil (MGO).
HVO is a high-quality, renewable diesel produced from waste materials, primarily used cooking oil, and certified under the ISCC scheme, ensuring its sustainability.
According to Van Oord, this blend has already resulted in a 26% reduction in CO2e emissions.
The successful deployment of biofuel underscores our commitment to lowering our impact on climate change by reducing our emissions and becoming net-zero. The delivery also marks our first biofuel supply in Norway, expanding our potential locations for more sustainable fuel use.
