Looking forward:
This isn’t just a simple technology trial in a lab. Each commercial fuel stem delivered to the MSC vessel will be around 1,000MT and must meet stringent standards. An operational trial proves to MSC and others that our fuel is commercially viable, technically robust and delivers environmental benefits at sea. It paves the way to securing LONO approvals from the engine manufacturer, providing access to the hundreds of marine vessels with this diesel engine worldwide.
The collaboration demonstrates the complexities involved in driving change. The project also combines the strengths of industry leaders in their field, who are united in a shared mission to decarbonise shipping:
· Quadrise: providing emulsion fuel production equipment and resources, including quality assurance and application expertise.
· MAC²: allocating terminal space and supply the necessary services and permits.
· MSC: contributing the commercial vessel, necessary regulatory approvals and engine manufacturer support.
· Cargill: supplying critical feedstocks and providing essential logistical services.
While this is only the beginning, the recent progress announced by Quadrise has shown that we can play an important role in the decarbonisation of the marine industry. Whilst commercialising innovation is not always plain sailing, it’s hugely rewarding when done with the right partners. This is why we do what we do at Quadrise.
