Australian grain major teams up to use waste-based marine fuel for European exports

In Norway, Australia’s largest co-operative and exporter of grain is reducing its maritime supply chain emissions as part of an Australian-first biofuels insetting pilot project in partnership with two global shipping giants.  CBH Group has collaborated with NORDEN and Oldendorff by using waste-based biofuel voyages, and book and claim solutions, to transport Western Australian (WA) grain to the European Union (EU).  

The biofuel-powered voyages achieved significant emission reductions compared to traditional fossil fuels, at no additional cost to WA growers, providing a practical response to new EU regulations impacting all ships over 5,000 gross tonnages calling at European ports.
