NorthStandard has published a new white paper focusing on the accelerating adoption of biofuels in commercial shipping. ‘Biofuels – Driving the green transition’ brings together insights from NorthStandard, supplier World Fuels and leading testing agency Veritas Petroleum Services (VPS), in a unique discussion document outlining biofuel uptake, potential issues and loss prevention measures.      

Many ship owner-operators who seek a drop-in solution to drive maritime decarbonisation are choosing biofuel blends. With regulation tightening, replacing conventional bunker fuels without major modifications to ship systems is appealing and low risk. Biofuel sample testing undertaken by VPS increased by a factor of 12 between 2021 and 2025, for example, to reach 1.2 million MT, last year.
