Quadrise, Cargill & MAC2 gear up for trials on board MSC

Under the agreement, the trials will be carried out following the installation and commissioning of Quadrise equipment at the MAC2 facility in Antwerp, Belgium.

Cargill will be responsible for supplying the feedstocks and for bunkering operations to supply MSAR and bioMSAR fuel for the trials.

MAC2 will supply jetty space, utilities, permits and ad-hoc support services during the trials, while Quadrise will provide MSAR and bioMSAR technology, fuel production equipment and personnel.

The collaboration is the first of several agreements with stakeholders to supply MSAR and bioMSAR to MSC Leandra for proof of concept (POC) and letter of no objection trials (LONO) commencing Q2 2024.

Quadrise plc (LON:QED) is an energy technology provider whose solutions enable production of cheaper, cleaner, simpler and safer alternatives to fuel oil and biofuels, proven in real world applications. Quadrise technologies produce transition fuels called MSAR® and bioMSAR™, which allow clients in the shipping, utilities and industrial sectors to reduce carbon emissions whilst also saving costs.
