In Sweden, following OXE Marine AB (publ)’s recently published sea trials where the company’s 300 hp diesel outboard OXE300 was tested against a gasoline outboard of equivalent power, where OXE Marine showed not only a 50% higher consumption in the gasoline outboard but a reduction of 92% net CO2 emissions compared to the gasoline alternative, the outboard manufacturers have decided to implement HVO100 in all development and testing.
When OXE Marine recently conducted sea trials of a double OXE300 installation on a popular recreational tender boat, the results showed that the gasoline alternative consumed 50% more fuel. When the same installation was run on HVO100, a type of biodiesel, a 92% reduction of CO2 emission was seen (compared to the gasoline alternative).
