Five years ago, Volvo Trucks launched its trucks that can run on liquified biogas (bio-LNG), which is a renewable fuel that can be produced from many types of organic waste, including food scraps. The fuel can reduce CO 2 emissions by up to 100%. (A A small amount of diesel or HVO is used to ignite the gas.)

The use of heavy fuel oils (HFOs) contributes to global warming due to the fossil origin of these fuels and, moreover, generating non-negligible emissions of pollutants such as sulfur oxides. IDEALFUEL seeks to develop methods to convert woody residual and waste materials such as sawdust and wood chips into renewable marine fuels.

Sea shipping accounts for 2-3% of global CO 2 emissions, a proportion that is set to increase as global trade continues to grow at a sluggish but steady pace. Bioethanol has a lower cetane number and lower energy content than biodiesel, though its use reduces the emissions and carbon footprint of shipping operations.
