Biofuels could be one of the options to reduce the carbon intensity of maritime transport. It could also possibly reduce the effect of ship emissions (SOx, NOx, PM) on local air quality. In order to obtain a clearer picture of biofuel's potential, EMSA commissioned a report from ECOFYS to evaluate if and how biofuels could be used in the shipping sector as an alternative fuel.
