💭 What used to be a straightforward process – contacting suppliers, comparing prices, and securing the best deal – now demands deeper focus when it comes to low-carbon fuels, particularly on issues of sustainability and compliance. In Bunkerspot's latest edition "Early Learning: Lessons from First Movers", FincoEnergies' Johannes Schurmann explains why shipowners will need to take a multi-layered approach to meeting regulations on #marinebiofuels. As the regulatory framework governing #biofuel procurement is now defined by #CII, #FuelEUMaritime and #EUETS, what impact will this layered landscape of regulations have? And how urgent is the need for guidance from the authorities? Read the full article via the link in the first comment ⤵ #GoodFuels10Years #BetterWorld

Better together! By partnering with GoodShipping, we've cut emissions by 1307 tons for our marine transport alone in 2024. That’s the same as the annual absorption capacity of around 62,245 trees or emissions generated from driving around the world 129 times. GoodShipping makes it easy to implement biofuels into our marine logistics. Not only do biofuels reduce emissions, but they also: ✔️ Use waste as a resource instead of pumping out more fossil fuels. ✔️ Pose less of a risk to marine life because they’re biodegradable. ✔️ Reduce air pollution and ocean acidification because they hardly contain any sulfur. We’re happy to announce that our partnership with GoodShipping and parent company FincoEnergies will still be going strong in 2025. We've even increased our emissions-saving ambitions for the year ahead. Because when it's so easy, there’s no reason not to choose the more sustainable solution. #sustainable #design #bcorp

🌎 Earth is the blue planet. And at GoodFuels, blue is the only colour we can think of when working on a better world. 💙 Today is #BlueMonday, often called the “most depressing day of the year.” But we see it differently. Blue isn’t about feeling down—it’s about looking up. Up to the sky, to the sea, to the horizon of possibilities. In our brand design, we use a brighter blue—because that’s how we see the future. A future where the energy transition isn’t a challenge, but an opportunity. Where clean fuels power the world and the climate crisis is met with bold, positive action. So let’s reframe Blue Monday. Let’s make it about momentum, not melancholy. Optimism, not obstacles. Because every day we have a choice: to see what’s wrong, or to fuel what’s right. #GoodFuels #BetterWorld #FuelWhatsRight

Faced with steep costs and limited subsidies for electric buses, Northwest Mecklenburg—a district in Germany—chose to make its fleet cleaner instantly by switching to #HVO100 biofuel instead of investing in new electric buses. Why? ▶ Seamless transition – #HVO works in existing diesel engines with no major modifications or retraining needed. ▶ Immediate CO₂ reductions – guaranteed CO2 emission reductions of 85%. ▶ Cost-effective – compared to the high price of #electrification, which comes with the need to replace vehicles and install expensive charging infrastructure. Electrification is a key part of the energy transition, but it remains challenging to implement for heavy road transportation. Northwest Mecklenburg proves that significant carbon reductions can be achieved today while continuing to use their existing bus fleet—without waiting for new technologies or larger subsidies. Is HVO the solution to decarbonise your fleet directly while keeping costs in check?

#WorldTransportationDay: 9 companies leading by example 🚚 🥚 📉 Global transport and sizable emissions profiles go hand in hand — for now. As multiple frontrunners are already taking the road to decarbonisation, it makes sense to spread the word and see what we as an industry can learn from them. For World Transportation Day, we highlight innovative companies like KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Zeeman textielSupers, and Norwegian Cruise Line, who are leading the charge with creative solutions like #sustainablebiofuels and #carboninsetting. Their actions prove that change is possible—and already happening. → Swipe the carrousel ➡️ → Read the full article here › fuels.to/lead-example #BiofuelSwap #GoodFuels #BetterWorld

💬 “A lack of access to reliable pricing, quality, and availability insights is creating hesitation in signing term contracts” shares Johannes Schurmann, commercial director of the marine division at FincoEnergies, in his latest interview with ENGINE. Johannes sheds light on how these knowledge gaps, combined with the complexities of biofuel grade variability and supply outside major hubs, are slowing down adoption. Fixed-term contracts, he argues, could be the key—offering price stability, reduced market volatility, and stronger demand signals to suppliers to help scale supply chains for sustainable fuels. What makes fuel pricing structures—like those for #biomethanol—so complex? And what practical steps can shipowners take to effectively adopt sustainable biofuels today? → Dive into the full interview here › fuels.to/interview #SustainableBiofuels #GoodFuels #BetterWorld 

Climate conference #COP29 is well underway, and according to this year’s organisers, the conference venue is partly running on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil, or HVO. While #HVO is vastly becoming a recognised, lower-carbon alternative for fossil fuels used in global shipping and road transport, switching to HVO to mitigate conference emissions is a lesser-known use. Research shows that venues like sports stadiums can rack up quite a sizeable carbon footprint*. And as many events are largely powered by auxiliary diesel generators, replacing the diesel with a renewable alternative like HVO makes a lot of sense. But how does this work, exactly? And how much impact can a fuel switch like this have? → Read all about it, here › fuels.to/cop29-hvo #GoodFuels #BetterWorld

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd.’s Norwegian Dawn received a GoodFuels B30 biofuel blend at the IJmuiden Cruise Terminal, delivered by FincoEnergies in collaboration with KPI OceanConnect 🛳️ 🌿 Made from 100% certified waste and residues, the sustainable biofuel would help Norwegian Cruise Line cut emissions without modifying their engines. With up to 80-90% CO₂ reduction, it also keeps the air cleaner along cruise routes or in ports by lowering pollutants like SOx, PM, and black carbon. 💬 “We’re excited to support Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings in their move toward cleaner cruising. By choosing sustainable biofuels, they’re driving down emissions and setting a strong example for the cruise industry” said Mayumi Kubo, Commercial Manager, Marine Biofuels at FincoEnergies. → Read the full story › fuels.to/norwegian-dawn #SustainableBiofuels #GoodFuels #BetterWorld
