Therefore, they can offer greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions from well to tank. Carras (Hellas) S.A. plans to use biofuels nominated up to B30, where 70 percent is fossil fuel and 30 percent is biomass coming from either hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVOs) or fatty acid methyl esters (FAME).<\/p>\n<p>Biofuels\u2019 suitability with existing power generation systems makes them a drop-in solution without the need for equipment retrofits or vessel redesign. The\u00a0Aquataurus\u00a0is equipped with a Wartsilla main engine and three auxiliary Yanmar engines and will serve trade routes worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>We are very proud to support Carras (Hellas) S.A. in their initiative to use biofuels as part of their sustainability strategy. Drop-in biofuels are a \u2018here-now\u2019 solution since they take advantage of existing fuel transport and bunkering infrastructure. ABS is well-positioned to use our deep industry knowledge of alternative fuels to support clients along their decarbonization journey,<\/em>\u201d said Stamatis Fradelos, ABS Vice President, Regulatory Affairs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Carras (Hellas) S.A. is pleased to be working with ABS to support our common goal of \u00a0\u00a0reducing fleet emissions for the benefit of the environment. The use of biofuels allows shipowners to reduce their fleet carbon intensity without the cost of expensive retrofits or investments in newbuildings, and we are excited to be pioneers, together with ABS, of obtaining the assignment of the Biofuel-1 notation to\u00a0Aquataurus,<\/em>\u201d said <strong>Captain Costas Liadis, President of Carras (Hellas) S.A<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>ABS provides industry-leading guidance to assist owners as well as services and solutions regarding alternative fuels, including biofuels. In fact, an ABS-led consortium, including CE Delft and Arcsilea, published a 360-degree view of biofuels for the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA).
