Wallenius Wilhelmsen and ExxonMobil will see the delivery of sustainable bio-fuel in the second half of the year because of a recently-signed contract between car carrying giant. The deal aligns with the car carrier’s plans to achieve a net-zero emission integrated supply chain service by 2027.
“The biofuel from ExxonMobil contains 30 percent biofuel and 70 percent conventional fuels. It is the best option we have available for decarbonization of the fleet today,” said Jon Tarjei Kråkenes, head of the Orcelle Accelerator at Wallenius Wilhelmsen.
Aly Abdelmotaal, regional marine marketing manager at ExxonMobil added: “ExxonMobil is proud to be working with Wallenius Wilhelmsen to help them meet their sustainability ambitions. We remain focused on advancing lower greenhouse gases (GHG) emission solutions, including biofuels, to help the marine industry meet its GHG emission objectives.”
The first biofuel delivery is scheduled for this month.
