A low carbon alternative to HFO

From commercial cruise liners to container ships, heavy fuel oil (HFO or bunker fuel) has been the primary choice of fuel in the maritime industry for decades. This low-cost, tar-like substance is widely available as leftovers
from the oil refinery process but has significant environmental drawbacks as a fuel, whilst also being uneconomic for the refinery that supplies it (it
sells at a discount to crude oil). HFO is considered by some to be a dirty and polluting fossil fuel. The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) is under increasing pressure to reduce the high levels of black carbon and NOx emitted by the sector as a result of burning HFO that contributes to global warming and smog.

IMO have also set a GHG emission reduction target of at least 50% by 2050. With potential future marine fuels such as hydrogen and methanol not yet technically or commercially viable on a large scale, there is a growing demand for a more sustainable HFO alternative that utilises well known technologies and existing supply lines.

Quadrise Fuels International plc (LON:QFI) is the global innovator and licensor of disruptive heavy oil technology that produces MSAR® fuel. The Quadrise team is a unique combination of energy sector experts and fuel specialists that were instrumental in the prior commercialisation of 60 million tons of Orimulsion® fuel worldwide.
