Sustainable Biofuels Now More Widely Available for European Inland Shipping

The sustainable biofuels from GoodFuels Marine are now available in the port of Rotterdam and along the inland routes in the Netherlands via the bunker network of REINPLUS FIWADO Bunker , a subsidiary of VARO Energy.

All GoodFuels’ biofuels are 2nd generation: produced from feedstock that is labeled a waste or residue. Therefore, there are no land-use issues, no competition with food production or deforestation

REINPLUS FIWADO Bunker supplies fuel to inland vessels throughout North West Europe. Thanks to the collaboration with GoodFuels Marine, biofuels will be available for inland and coastal vessels, thereby contributing to a more sustainable European inland shipping fleet.

Ben van Kol, Managing Director of REINPLUS FIWADO Bunker, said, “We are proud to provide our shipping customers with sustainable biofuels through the collaboration between GoodFuels Marine and our parent company VARO Energy. We will ensure that these fuels are available throughout our entire bunker network.”

GoodFuels Marine’s sustainable biofuels have been specifically developed for shipping. The company states they save up to 90 percent CO2 and 100 percent sulphur compared to fossil fuels. The biofuels are suitable for every type of marine engine, without requiring any modifications.

“We are very pleased that this collaboration will enable us to offer one of the most climate-friendly options for shipping through the largest inland bunker network in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp region,” said Dirk Kronemeijer, CEO of GoodFuels Marine.
