BHP and GCMD Pilot Tallow-Based Biofuel Blend to Enhance Maritime Sustainability
BHP, an Australian mining company, in collaboration with Singapore's Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD), is testing a new biofuel blend made from waste animal fat and used cooking oil. This pilot project aims to expand the availability of biofuels for global shipping, which has traditionally relied on used cooking oil. The BHP-chartered bulk carrier Berge Lyngor is being used for the trial, with the bio-blend potentially reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 79% per voyage compared to conventional fuels. The project seeks to evaluate the feasibility of using multiple feedstocks for biofuel production under real-world conditions.
