Greece marks milestone with first bio marine fuel delivery

·

Greece has taken a significant step toward greener shipping with its first-ever delivery of bio marine fuel, carried out by the Motor Oil Group and its subsidiary, Coral Marine. This marks a major milestone in the country’s efforts to cut emissions and support the maritime industry’s transition to more sustainable energy sources, according to ekathimerini.com.

The delivery was made to the cruise ship Celestyal Discovery at the Port of Lavrio in southeastern Attica. It represents Greece’s initial venture into using a marine fuel blend that includes biofuel—an innovation expected to reduce the ship’s CO2 emissions by around 21%.

The eco-friendly fuel consists of conventional oil refined at Motor Oil’s facilities, combined with biofuel produced at the group’s Verd plant. The biofuel is made from used cooking oil sourced from within the Greek market, highlighting a circular approach to sustainability.
