Quadrise and Vertoro extend collaboration to develop Sustainable Biofuel for luxury yachts

Quadrise Plc (LON:QED), the supplier of innovative energy solutions for a cleaner planet, has provided an update on its Joint Development Agreement with biofuel specialists, Vertoro BV. Quadrise has been collaborating with Vertoro since September 2022 to incorporate their novel and cost-effective sustainable biofuels in bioMSAR™.

Following the successful production and testing of stable blends of bioMSAR™ containing up to 40% of Vertoro’s crude sugar oil (CSO™) at pilot scale, the Company and Vertoro have now agreed to extend the scope of the JDA to include the development of bioMSAR™ Zero incorporating CSO™ for testing at sea on-board a newly-designed prototype motor yacht.

The motor yacht will be built for Vertoro by Focus Motor Yachts under a recently announced collaboration between the two parties to develop a new sustainable fuel for luxury yachts.
