Marine Biofuels

Bureau Veritas recognizes the importance of biofuels to the future sustainability of the marine fuel industry and we are on hand to support your company’s preparation and pilot projects.

Biofuels are not considered to become the dominant marine fuel, at least in the short term. Liquid biofuels are however, compatible with modern ship engines and are seen as a stepping-stone on the path to decarbonization.
