biofuels can help maritime industry lower carbon intensity

Biofuels are fuels derived from organic matter such as used vegetable oils, wood, and plant and algae sources. These sources are collectively termed biomass.

And as drop-in fuels, they can replace petroleum-based fuels with few, if any, changes to an engine.

"It's really important for fuel suppliers to be working to provide shipowners with a solution they can use now to lower their fleets' carbon intensity," Hui Ling said. "Biofuels can help meet those needs today."
