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.
