BioHFO

The trend of increasing strict environmental regulations is a major challenge for shipowners. Two values are key for today’s ships: the attained CII and the ETS charge. BioHFO System (BioHFO-S) is TecnoVeritas’ solution for both, as it cuts CO2 emissions by 40%.

The process consists of inline blending of B100 biofuel with HFO. This has multiple upsides:

1.      Reduces ETS cost by up to 40%;

2.      Cut the emissions of SOx, NOx, and PM and decrease SFOC;

3.      Can extend an existing ship’s lifespan by several years;

4.      Applies to vessels using HFO;

5.      These blends have superior properties to MGO-based blends

6.      No need for engine retrofits;

7.      Simple to install and to use;

8.      No sludge deposits in tanks.

Designed to respond to decarbonization objectives, the BioHFO-S delivers an optimal fuel blend, thus becoming a cheaper and easy-to-implement solution to attain the desired CII and minimize your carbon price risk.

The Decarbonisation targets are tough to reach and costly to shipowners. Drop-in fuels are the right solution if not the only one for the existing fleet.

MEPC.1/Circ.905 Interim guidance on the use of biofuels under regulations 26, 27, and 28 of MARPOL Annex VI, opens the opportunity to reduce CO2 emissions.

Biofuels, do not need to be based on MGO blends, rarely exceeding 20% biofuel incorporation in the B20. Biofuel blends with HFO, are considerably less expensive, and work as well or even better than the costly B20.

Using BioHFO-S you may benefit from extreme CO2 reduction, cut on the emission of SOx, NOx and PM, and decreased SFOC.

BioHFO-S minimizes the vessel’s fuel and CO2 ETS operation costs.

Designed to respond to decarbonization objectives, the BioHFO System (BioHFO-S) delivers optimized fuel blends to achieve actual reduction levels by more than 40%.

BioHFO-S fuel blend thus becomes a cheaper and environmentally friendly alternative to achieve the desired CII, CO2, reducing carbon ETS taxes.

As it is fully automated and easy to use, the operator has the flexibility to adjust the setpoints and BioHFO-S shall deliver the optimized B100+HFO blend to achieve the desired level of decarbonization.

This model gives the user total flexibility to set the optimal blend percentage for each ship.

Fully automated control system, easy-to-use through a touch screen, the operator can input the necessary blend specification and the control system of BioHFO-S will deliver the optimized B100+HFO blend to achieve the decarbonization desired level.
