Petrobras Singapore supplies B24 to bulk carrier for Vale

In Singapore, Vale and Petrobras, through Petrobras Singapore, have announced a commercial partnership to supply a ship chartered by the mining company with Very Low Sulfur (VLS) B24, a marine fuel with 24% second-generation biodiesel. In collaboration with the company Oldendorff Carriers, the bulk carrier Luise Oldendorff was fueled in Singapore, on April 22, for testing purposes.

The product was formulated by Petrobras Singapore (PSPL) itself in its locally leased tanks, by blending 76% fossil fuel oil from the refineries of the Petrobras System and 24% UCOME, a biofuel originating from the processing of used cooking oil (UCO), purchased in the region.

Petrobras Singapore has the ISCC EU certification, which guarantees that its product meets the strict sustainability criteria, a requirement that accompanies the entire biofuel logistics chain involved in this process.
