GCMD: Tracers are reliable validation tools for biofuels
The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) has released the “Tracers for biofuels authentication: Evaluating the efficacy of tracer technologies in marine fuel supply chains” report on the world’s first field validation of tracer technologies in marine biofuel supply chains.
GCMD conducted six biofuel tracer trials in major bunkering hubs like Singapore and Rotterdam. These trials tested three tracer types and found that an organic tracer was the most effective for verifying the authenticity and quantity of biofuels, balancing cost, detectability, and scalability.
A total of 10,400 MT of biofuel blends was bunkered during the trials, achieving an average 24% reduction in GHG emissions compared
