據烴加工新聞9月11日消息稱，埃克森美孚與船運公司Stena Bulk在荷蘭鹿特丹港安全完成了首個海洋生物燃料油的海上試驗，并取得了成功。

這一海洋生物燃料油是一種0.50%硫殘留基燃料（VLSFO），采用第二代基于廢物的FAME組件（ISCC認證）進行處理。該產品將于今年晚些時候上市，首先在鹿特丹上市，然后在埃克森美孚港口網絡更廣泛地推出。

海上試驗的設計和完成是埃克森美孚評估和試驗方案的一部分，目的是證明在使用較高水平的生物成分時，不會對設備產生不良影響。

海上試驗還表明，與傳統海洋燃料相比，可減少約40%的二氧化碳排放的海洋生物燃料可用于相關的海洋應用，而無需進行改造，并將幫助運營商朝著實現碳減排目標邁出重要的一步。

埃克森美孚公司船用燃料市場經理Cowan Lee說：“隨著新型海洋燃料的上市，對可靠且符合ISO標準的高質量燃料的需求越來越大。埃克森美孚的新型船用生物燃料油已經過廣泛測試，符合含硫標準，可以滿足不斷增長的需求，并且可以為幫助運營商減少二氧化碳排放做出重大貢獻。”

Lee補充說：“隨著運營商面臨日益嚴格的法規以及來自客戶的巨大壓力，以證明他們減少溫室氣體排放的承諾，這是提供運營商所需的低排放燃料的重要一步。”

ExxonMobil trials marine biofuel oil

ExxonMobil has safely completed a successful sea trial using the company’s first marine biofuel oil with shipping company Stena Bulk, bunkered in the port of Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

The marine biofuel oil is a 0.50% sulfur residual-based fuel (VLSFO) processed with a second generation waste-based FAME component (ISCC certified). The product will be available later this year, initially in Rotterdam before a wider launch across the ExxonMobil port network.

The sea trial was designed and completed as part of ExxonMobil’s assessment and trial protocol to demonstrate that there were no adverse equipment effects when operating with higher levels of bio components.

The sea trial also demonstrated that the marine biofuel oil, which can provide a CO2 emission reduction of up to approximately 40% compared with conventional marine fuel can be used in a relevant marine application without modification and can help operators take a significant step towards meeting their carbon emissions reduction targets.

“With new marine fuels coming to market recently, the need for quality fuels that are both reliable and ISO compliant has never been greater,” said Cowan Lee, Marine Fuels Marketing Manager at ExxonMobil. “ExxonMobil’s new marine biofuel oil meets that growing need as it has been extensively tested, is sulfur compliant and can make a significant contribution in helping operators reduce their CO2 emissions.”

“As operators face increasingly stringent regulations and significant pressure from customers to demonstrate their commitment to reducing GHG emissions, this is an important next step in providing the lower-emissions fuels that operators want and need,” Lee added.
