Decentralised production of advanced biofuels for maritime shipping
Waste-to-Value process enabling the green transition towards FuelEU Maritime and IMO targets.
More than 90% of ships run on fossil fuels
With a yearly demand of 300+ million tonnes of fossil fuel, the shipping industry generates 3% of global GHG emissions.
Reaching net-zero
Targets by FuelEU Maritime, IMO, and the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) increase regulatory pressure on the decarbonisation of maritime shipping.
Alternatives are not yet at scale
Future fuels, such as ammonia and methanol, require a new infrastructure, engine configuration, and logistical setup.
Waste-to-Value.
In one single unit.
An innovative thermochemical conversion process enabling the co-generation of high-quality bio-oil (biofuel), syngas and biochar.
The only input needed: biogenic feedstock.
Carbon-negative process
Biochar’s C-Sink enables active sequestration of CO2 from the atmosphere.
Decentralised and modular units
Fit for standardised containers and with a small footprint – the technology is designed for scalable replicability.
Biogenic feedstock
Processing biomass with no ILUC issues and in line with Annex 9 of RED II Directive.
Delivering climate-positive marine biofuels
”Well-to-Wake” LCA
SEAFAIRER will apply the International Maritime Organization’s “Well-to-Wake” life-cycle assessment methodology, accounting for total GHG emissions of the production and use of marine biofuels.
EU roadmap
SEAFAIRER will develop a business case for commercial deployment of the technology in the EU and abroad,
Real-world demo
SEAFAIRER will launch a 30-day campaign of an ocean vessel around the Port of Valencia – presenting the final validation of the advanced biofuel produced.
