The FuelEU Maritime regulation opens new pathways for the shipping industry to dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions. Swedish shipping company Furetank is now taking the lead, reducing its own emissions to a fraction through biogas operations and launching a subsidiary to help more shipping companies trade emission reductions. The goal is to accelerate the transition to fossil-free shipping.
Regelverket FuelEU Maritime öppnar upp nya vägar för sjöfarten att minska sina utsläpp av växthusgaser dramatiskt. Svenska tankrederiet Furetank går nu före i utvecklingen, sänker de egna utsläppen till en bråkdel genom biogasdrift och startar ett dotterbolag som ska hjälpa fler rederier handla med utsläppsminskningar. Så vill man bidra till att accelerera omställningen till en fossilfri sjöfart.
Furetank is now taking a crucial step towards fossil freedom, operating its EU-based fleet on biogas.

Furetank tar nu ett avgörande steg mot fossilfrihet och driver sin EU-baserade fartygsflotta på biogas. Ett storskaligt avtal för massbalanserad biometan möjliggör en omedelbar övergång till förnybar drift. Ny EU-lagstiftning har gjort det möjligt för Furetank att slutligen fullborda den omställning som inleddes för tio år sedan.
