摘要：	Boskalis has taken delivery of its largest-ever consignment of drop-in biofuel which will be used to power two hopper dredges on upcoming projects in northwestern Europe. The use of bio-fuel will result in a CO2 reduction of approximately 90% for the 12,000 m~3 hopper dredge Willem van Oranje and approximately 45% for the 4,500 m~3 hopper dredge Strandway. The delivery of approximately 1,000 m~3 of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), a sustainable bio-fuel derived from used cooking oil, was in collaboration with Boskalis' long-term partner and fuel supplier, GoodFuels. Boskalis' own testing program with GoodFuels and engine manufacturer Wartsila that began in 2015 has demonstratedthat drop-in marine biofuels can reduce the CO2 emissions by up to 90% compared to fossil fuels. In 2019, as part of the 'Boskalis on Bio' program, the Willem van Oranje became the world's first dredging vessel to operate on 100% biofuel oil. Since then, Boskalis has successfully used various biofuel blends as an alternative to fossil fuels on both dredging and offshore installation vessels, as well as for dry earthmoving equipment, resulting in a considerable emissions reductions. Through its agreement with GoodFuels, Boskalis enables its clients to opt for biofuel-powered vessels to reduce their carbon emissions on projects. Last year 80% of Boskalis' project tenders in The Netherlands included sustainability measures, including options to use biofuels.
