Eco Bunkers
PRIO will launch Eco Bunkers, a green fuel for ships with 15% biodiesel incorporation, developed from the recycling of residual raw materials, produced at PRIO’s biodiesel factory in Aveiro.
According to PRIO, Eco Bunkers will not only reduce CO2 emissions by up to 18% but also allow for a consumption reduction of up to 5%. “It is therefore a fuel that combines quality, savings, and sustainability by promoting a circular economy by recycling waste that would otherwise have a high treatment cost,” the company emphasizes.
