In China, ResourceWise reports China exported more hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) than fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) biodiesel for the first time in May, signaling a shift in the country’s biofuel export mix. HVO exports rose 11.5% month over month to about 43,500 metric tons, while biodiesel exports fell more than 52% to roughly 38,500 […]
In the UK, the Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) on Friday published its Statement of Essential Facts (SEF) in the anti-dumping investigation into biodiesel imports from China. The investigation found that Chinese biodiesel is being dumped in the UK at unfairly low prices, causing material injury to UK producers. The TRA also concluded that applying anti-dumping […]
In the Netherlands, together with Argent Energy and sector partners, FincoEnergies is demonstrating that sustainable shipping is possible today — not just with HVO but also with FAME. This optimized FAME blend is immediately applicable, cost-effective, and reliable. With this product, we are accelerating the sustainability of inland shipping and making sustainable impact tangible. · […]
In Belgium, the final Regulation imposing definitive anti-dumping duties on HVO and FAME from China has been published in the EU Official Journal. Chinese exports into the EU market will be subject to an anti-dumping duty between 21.7% and 35.5%, except for EcoCeres which received a 10% AD duty. The European Biodiesel Board, and by […]
In Norway, according to DNV’s latest white paper “Biofuels in Shipping”, key biofuels like FAME and HVO have great potential for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and supporting compliance with maritime regulations, but their benefits to the industry could be constrained by limited supply in the future. With biofuel use expected to increase, the paper […]
In Belgium, the European Biodiesel Board (EBB) welcomes the approval of the definitive duties on biodiesel (HVO and FAME) from China by EU member states. In July of last year, the EBB already obtained provisional anti-dumping duties that are currently in force, but were subject to approval of national governments of EU member states. This […]
In New York, MarineLink reports the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonization unveiled a groundbreaking method that identifies the feedstock origins of Fatty Acid Methyl Esters biofuels within an hour, offering a solution to rising fraud concerns in marine fuel supply chains. This technique creates a unique “fingerprint” for FAME biofuels based on their fatty acid […]
In Spain, Peninsula, a global marine energy supplier, announced the introduction of the Aalborg, an IMO II chemical tanker dedicated to sustainable fuel distribution in the Western Mediterranean. The Aalborg is capable of supplying 100% biofuels (B100), in contrast to traditional fuel barges that cannot exceed 25% bio component. The vessel supplies FAME (Fatty Acid […]
In Belgium, although it is already used in marine engines and simple combustion systems, waste-based FAME has not been used yet in locomotives. Lineas had the premiere of being the first rail freight operator to test it. Lineas is currently in the final testing phase, which is expected to last until June of this year. […]
