Our offering of Green Transports expands today 🔔 Wasaline can now allocate battery operation to designated cargo customers, ensuring minimal CO2 emissions on their transports. The trailer manufacturer Ekeri Ab Oy will be our launch customer. How does it work? The battery capacity of Aurora Botnia is 2.3 MWh, which corresponds to about 5% of the total energy for a single crossing. Thus, we can allocate a certain number of cargo units that are transported with the energy obtained from the batteries. Wasaline has already been allocating biogas operations since October 2023. Freight Director Tony Ehrs is very pleased that we can now add battery operations to our offering. "We have had a very good collaboration with Ekeri over the years and are incredibly happy that they are our first customer to choose this additional service", Tony says. Read the press release: https://lnkd.in/eBKQyYzq (en/sv/fi) ⚠️ There is still more Green Transport capacity available to cargo customers. Contact Tony if you want to minimize the CO2 emissions of your transports running between Finland and Sweden. #maritimeindustry #sustainability

#HMMnews | HMM has partnered with Hellmann Worldwide Logistics to reduce carbon emissions through the Green Sailing Service, a low-carbon transport solution. This carbon insetting platform empowers customers to proactively reduce their carbon footprint and effectively address Scope 3 emissions. (Scope 3 emissions result from activities involving assets not owned or controlled by the reporting organization, but which the organization indirectly affects in its value chain.) By using second-generation marine biofuel, HMM achieved notable CO2 reductions, with the saved emissions allocated to Hellmann for Scope 3 emission reduction during maritime transport. Currently utilizing biofuels on designated vessels, we look forward to integrating other sustainable alternatives like LNG and Methanol in the near future. We believe this collaboration marks the beginning of successful industry cooperation, driving meaningful progress towards a net-zero future. ㅡ #HMM #shipping #marine #GreenShipping #NetZero #sustainability

Interesting article on the cost of SAF and the difficulties that airlines are having meeting their decarbonization goals. Often times these facilities are feedstock limited, and these converted refineries have some pretty significant technical challenges in processing. I am sure another factor is simple supply and demand. Some interesting information regarding efforts in Brazil around animal waste-to-fuel. [...] Brazilian meatpacker is supplying animal waste from its operations abroad for the production of renewable aviation fuels and is studying a similar initiative in Brazil through the Friboi brand. According to JBS, the world's largest meatpacker, in two years 1.2 MMt of beef tallow and pork lard from its units in the U.S., Canada and Australia have already been directed to the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and other renewable fuels. In Brazil, Friboi began studies to test the feasibility of supplying animal waste for local production of SAF, which is seen as an important solution for commercial aviation to reduce its carbon emissions. "By reusing animal waste, we contribute to the environment and help this critical sector in its decarbonization process," JBS's global chief sustainability officer, Jason Weller, said in a statement. The initiative, he added, reinforces the company's commitment to responsible waste management and circular economy. JBS is also studying the feasibility of producing renewable fuel for ships as an alternative to bunker oil through Biopower, its company focused on manufacturing biodiesel. Biopower has three Brazil plants for the production of biofuel from organic waste from cattle processing. JBS is controlled by J&F, a holding company owned by Brazilian billionaire brothers Joesley and Wesley Batista. It has been seeking to expand its initiatives in sustainable energy. [...] I fully support waste-to-fuel processes, but often times these end up being more carbon intensive than the original "hydrocarbon" production due to the amount of contaminants that need to be dealt with. I suspect, that this process would be similar to renewable natural gas or biogas, where the process can require high energy inputs and the processing is complex because of the number of contaminants that must be removed. It would be great to see the heat and material balance around one of these converted refineries, including the total carbon balance of the process. The projects that I was involved with in the past were actually more carbon intensive as compared to other traditional alternatives. #biofuels #SAF https://lnkd.in/gK6RF564
