In an EU-funded research project, an international consortium is aiming to develop new production methods for sustainable marine fuels to replace heavy fuel oils in shipping. Although cleaner fuels are available, many companies opt for HFOs due to their low cost. However, HFOs are banned in the national waters of many countries.

The goal of the project is to continue to develop a circular carbon economy that replaces the petroleum-based chemicals in consumer products with algae-derived and biodegradable polymers. This project will demonstrate the conversion of gaseous carbon wood wastes (terpenes) to renewable Terpenes SAF blending components. Comstock Inc.,

Finally, DOE will support development of domestically produced, infrastructure-compatible biofuels to reduce carbon emissions from liquid transportation fuels where electrification is not viable (heavy-duty vehicles, marine, and air). Near-term improvements will likely be the result of improved lithium-ion batteries.
