In Sweden, Wallenius SOL said on October 8 that it signed a supply agreement with Gasum to fuel its Botnia Enabler and Baltic Enabler Con-Ro vessels with bioLNG. The deal allows both ships to operate on certified renewable fuel instead of fossil LNG, in line with the company’s Climate Roadmap.
The bioLNG, certified under RED II and traceable through ISCC, is delivered through Gasum’s pooling system, which spreads renewable fuel across multiple shipping customers and vessels. “Pooling is a brilliant and easy opportunity for all maritime actors to join forces in lowering emissions,” said Jacob Granqvist, Vice President, Maritime at Gasum.
Wallenius SOL began bunkering the vessels with bioLNG in early October without modifying onboard systems. The company said the switch supports customer decarbonization efforts while leaving service schedules and booking procedures unchanged.
“It shows that renewable fuels are not a distant solution but something we can use here and now,” said Rebecca Tagaeus, Sustainability Officer at Wallenius SOL. The company plans to fully transition to renewable fuels by 2035 and eliminate harmful environmental impact by 2045.
