Petrobras gets ANP approval to bunker B24

In Brazil, Petrobras has obtained authorization from the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) to market maritime fuel with renewable content. The company is the first in the country to receive authorization to deliver a bunker with 24% biodiesel to the market.
VLS (Very Low Sulfur) B24, produced by Petrobras, is the result of mixing mineral bunker with biodiesel certified by ISCC EU RED.

For months, tests were carried out on the product in real navigation situations, and ship data was monitored, including consumption, power developed, distance traveled, and fuel performance in filters and purification systems. The results indicated that there were no atypical occurrences in the operation of the ships’ engines nor the fuel treatment systems (centrifuges and filters), confirming the operational and commercial viability of Petrobras’ renewable content bunker.
