CPC to Begin Bio-bunker Deliveries in Kaohsiung
Taiwan's state-owned CPC Corporation is set to commence B24-VLSFO deliveries at the Port of Kaohsiung, marking a step towards maritime decarbonisation efforts.
State-owned fuel supplier CPC Corporation is scheduled to begin supplying B24-VLSFO at the Port of Kaohsiung in Taiwan from October. The Port of Kaohsiung is situated on Taiwan’s southwest coast, facing the Taiwan Strait and Bashi Channel.
Deliveries are expected to commence in October 2026, according to Hellenic Shipping News Worldwide.
Fuel Composition and Objectives
The B24 fuel blend will consist of 24% biofuel and 76% LSMF-180 (0.5%), which is defined as a low-sulphur marine fuel with a maximum sulphur content of 0.5%. CPC Corporation has indicated that this initiative aims to align Taiwan’s marine fuel supply with global maritime net-zero greenhouse gas emissions targets and the nation’s Net-Zero Transition policy, Hellenic Shipping News Worldwide reported.
Context for Biofuel Adoption
Biofuel blends such as B24-VLSFO are increasingly being explored by the shipping industry as a means to reduce carbon emissions. The introduction of such a fuel blend in Kaohsiung reflects a broader trend of ports and fuel suppliers introducing alternative marine fuels to meet evolving environmental regulations and industry sustainability goals.
