In the Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that Swedish shipping company Wallenius Sol has launched a new biogas offering that enables customers to “lighten the load” by purchasing liquefied biogas (LBG) corresponding to their transport’s fuel consumption. According to Wallenius, the customers will benefit from an ISCC-certified product that meets strict sustainability and traceability standards, helping them reduce their carbon footprint while lowering ETS costs. Using the mass balance principle, customers can select the proportion of LBG relative to their fuel consumption – from 10, 25, 50, 75, to 100% biogas, Wallenius revealed, adding that the selected amount of biogas is liquefied, mixed with LNG and incorporated into the overall fuel mix. Elvir Dzanic, CEO of Wallenius Sol, said: “It might seem odd for us, as a shipping company, to encourage our customers to ‘lighten the load,’ but in this case, we’re talking about lightening our impact on the planet by shifting to renewable fuels.”
