据普氏新加坡12月4日消息，总部位于荷兰的可持续低碳船用燃料供应商GoodFuels Marine上周五表示，它已与Norden合作，完成了全球首个零排放试验，即“降低”重燃油海洋生物燃料。
GoodFuels在一份声明中说：“成功的运行实际意味着能够为寻求替代馏分油和超低硫燃料油的船东和运营商提供面向未来的燃料需求，以符合国际航运业即将出台的硫和温室气体排放规则。”
自2020年1月1日起，国际海事组织将全球海洋燃料中的硫含量控制在0.5%，目前为3.5%。这适用于指定的排放控制范围以外，而该范围的上限已达0.1%。
今年4月，国际海事组织的一个重要委员会同意了一项初步战略，即到2050年将航运业的温室气体排放总量在2008年的基础上至少削减50％。此外，国际海事组织还设定了一个目标，即到2030年将航运业的效率至少提高40%，到2050年提高70%。
该公司表示，这项试验是在与包括Royal Dutch Boskalis和技术集团Wartsila在内的合作伙伴进行研究和开发之后进行的。该公司补充称，生物燃料（BFO）的使用不需要对船只进行任何发动机改装。
GoodFuels首席执行官Dirk Kronemeijer说：“我们希望尽快扩大供应量，以便积极应对全球1.5度的挑战。”
与此同时，Norden首席执行官Jan Rindbo表示，在2007年至2017年间，Norden提高了燃油效率，并将自有油轮船上运输的每吨货物的二氧化碳排放量减少了25％。
他说：“现在我们已经证明了二氧化碳中性运输是一种可行的替代方案，我相信，许多有碳意识的客户将在可预见的未来需要这种类型的运输，”
GoodFuels表示，Norden和GoodFuels Marine将继续相互合作，以获得更多经验，并大规模使用这种燃料，作为HFO的替代燃料。
2016年，GoodFuels成立了“GoodShipping计划”，以进一步让货主参与应对航运碳排放的挑战。
今年9月，该公司宣布，五名托运人通过用船用生物燃料加油来完全抵消其货物的碳排放。

GoodFuels, Norden trial world's first biofuel 'drop in' ahead of IMO 2020 rule
Netherlands-based GoodFuels Marine, a supplier of sustainable low carbon marine fuels, said Friday it had collaborated with Norden to complete trials of the world's first zero emission, 'drop in' heavy fuel oil-equivalent marine biofuel.
"The successful operation effectively means that there is the capability to future-proof fuel requirements for shipowners and operators who are seeking an alternative to both distillates and ultra low sulfur fuel oil" in order to comply with upcoming sulfur and greenhouse gas emissions rules in international shipping, GoodFuels said in a statement.
The International Maritime Organization will cap global sulfur content in marine fuels at 0.5% starting January 1, 2020, from 3.5% currently. This applies outside the designated emission control areas where the limit is already 0.1%.
In April, a key committee of the IMO agreed to an initial strategy of cutting the shipping industry's total GHG emissions by at least 50% from 2008 levels by 2050. In addition, the IMO has also set a goal of improving the shipping sector's efficiency by at least 40% by 2030 and by 70% by 2050.
The trials came after research and development work with partners including Royal Dutch Boskalis and technology group Wartsila, it said, adding that its BFO usage does not require any engine modifications "We want to scale supply as fast as we can in order to actively contribute to the world's 1.5 degree challenge," GoodFuels CEO Dirk Kronemeijer said.
Meanwhile, Norden CEO Jan Rindbo said that Norden has increased its fuel efficiency and had reduced CO2 emissions per ton cargo transported "Now that we have proven CO2 neutral transport as a viable alternative, I am convinced many carbon-conscious customers will demand this type of transport within a foreseeable future," he said.
Norden and GoodFuels Marine will continue working with each other to gain more experience and scale usage of the fuel as an alternative to HFO, GoodFuels said.
In 2016, GoodFuels founded "The GoodShipping Program" to further engage cargo owners in the challenge of combating shipping's carbon emissions.
In September, it announced that five shippers had completely offset the carbon emissions of their cargo by refueling a vessel with marine biofuels.
