  Van Oord's flexible fallpipe vessel powered by biofuel blend

  

  Recently, Van Oord achieved a significant milestone in its decarbonisation efforts with the first delivery of biofuel for its flexible fallpipe vessel Stornes in Norway, according to the company's release.

  The delivered biofuel is a B30 blend, consisting of 30% hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) and 70% marine gasoil (MGO). HVO is a high-quality, renewable diesel produced from waste materials, primarily used cooking oil, and certified under the ISCC scheme, ensuring its sustainability.

  This B30 blend has already resulted in a 26% reduction in CO2e emissions.
