OXE Marine chooses HVO100 as marine biofuel preference following testing
In Sweden, following OXE Marine AB (publ)’s recently published sea trials where the company’s 300 hp diesel outboard OXE300 was tested against a gasoline outboard of equivalent power, where OXE Marine showed not only a 50% higher consumption in the gasoline outboard but a reduction of 92% net CO2 emissions compared to the gasoline alternative, the outboard manufacturers have decided to implement HVO100 in all development and testing.
When OXE Marine recently conducted sea trials of a double OXE300 installation on a popular recreational tender boat, the results showed that the gasoline alternative consumed 50% more fuel. When the same installation was run on HVO100, a type of biodiesel, a 92% reduction of CO2 emission was seen (compared to the gasoline alternative).
