In The Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that AtoB@C Shipping, a Swedish subsidiary of shipping company ESL Shipping, and EFO, a joint venture of compatriot energy companies, have committed to a set of measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from their sea transports. The report noted that this initiative will involve substituting 10% of the annual fuel consumption of EFO’s shipments with renewable alternatives, resulting in a projected 8.5% reduction in lifecycle emissions. “We are pleased to have found in AtoB@C Shipping a shipping company that not only shares our long-term vision but has also provided us with a tangible solution today to begin reducing our emissions immediately,” Andreas Ukmar, CEO at EFO, said. So far two voyages have been performed with 100% renewable fuel under this contract with plug-in hybrid vessel Electramar unloading the second cargo in Oxelösund, Sweden last week, the report added.
