Ferdinand van den Oever, CEO of the Port of Moerdijk commented: “Fantastic that this initiative takes place in our domain. We hope to establish permanent supply of sustainable marine fuel out of Moerdijk in the near future, as one of the achievable results from our Pyrolysis cluster.”

 

Notes to Editors:

“Drop-in biofuels” are liquid hydrocarbons that are functionally equivalent to petroleum-derived fuels, meaning that they can be effectively ‘dropped in’ to existing bunker infrastructure and onboard vessels.
