In support of measures for GHG emissions reduction, ClassNK has released “Handling of the use of biofuels on ships”, which outlines procedures and cautions to be taken when using biofuels for ships. Biofuels are renewable fuels produced from biological organisms (biomass) in which the primary raw materials used are vegetable oils. Biofuels do not emit SOx during combustion, and they are generally considered “carbon neutral” because source plants at their growing process are likely to absorb CO ₂ emitted from combustion. In addition, depending on the type of fuel, it can be used as a marine fuel without modifying the specifications of existing diesel engines (drop-in fuel).
