Image Credit: Mureloil Energy firm Repsol has launched the commercial supply of co-processed marine fuels containing renewable content at the Port of Algeciras . The launch coincides with the first commercial voyage of Repsol's new bunkering vessel, Bahia Candela , the firm said in an email update on Thursday . Repsol has chartered the 7,500 m3 bunkering vessel from shipowner Mureloil . The vessel entered service on June 4. During the voyage, the vessel loaded co-processed fuel at the company's Petronor refinery in Bilbao before delivering it to customers. The vessel is equipped with a diesel-electric propulsion system and can handle multiple bunker grades. Co-processed fuels differ from conventional biofuels in the way they are made. Co-processing integrates renewable feedstocks such as used cooking oil or HVO with fossil fuels in existing refinery processes, producing fully compatible low-emission fuels. By contrast, biofuels are derived from organic matter and are often produced in dedicated biorefineries. These fuels can be used as a drop-in fuel in existing ships without needing any modifications. “This milestone marks Repsol’s entry into the supply of low-carbon marine fuels in Algeciras,” Repsol said.
