ANP APPROVES THE MARKETING OF MARINE FUEL WITH BIODIESEL

At the request of Petrobras, the ANP approves the sale of marine fuel oil (bunker) with 24% biodiesel. This is the first bunker license with renewable content. Between September 2022 and January 2024, Petrobras tested blends with up to 24% biodiesel on ships, resulting in no operational problems and lower greenhouse gas emissions. The test with 24% biodiesel reduced emissions by around 19%. The measure aligns with the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) strategy of zero greenhouse gas emissions from maritime transport by 2050.
