BP PLC and Rio Tinto PLC have agreed to work together on a
one-year biofuel trial to curb emissions from Rio Tinto's marine
fleet, the British oil-and-gas major said Monday.
BP will supply Rio Tinto with marine biofuel to be trialed on
the mining company's RTM Tasman vessel on a mix of trans-Atlantic
and Atlantic-Pacific routes, BP said.
This will be one of the longest-duration marine biofuel trials
to date, BP said.
This agreement follows a successful journey on the same vessel
after it refueled with biofuel in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, in
March 2022. BP said this biofuel can reduce carbon emissions by up
to 26% compared with standard marine fuel oil.
"A longer-duration trial will provide important information on
the potential role and wide scale use of biofuels, and aligns with
our goals to reduce marine emissions across our value chain and
support efforts to decarbonize the maritime industry," Laure
Baratgin, head of commercial operations at Rio Tinto, said.
