Meriaura delivers metal concentrates for Boliden\u00a0by\u00a0using\u00a0Meriaura\u2019s unique\u00a0EcoVoy concept\u00a0that reduces emissions.\u00a0In this collaborative pilot project, five shipments of approximately 5000 tons of cargo each are made\u00a0by Meriaura’s biofuel compliant vessels between G\u00e4vle and Kokkola, Kemi, and Pori.\u00a0By choosing the Meriaura EcoVoy option, Boliden significantly cuts its carbon dioxide emissions, saving about 15 tons of CO\u2082 per trip, with a total savings of around 80 tons across all five trips compared to traditional fossil fuel transports. The total life cycle emissions for the five voyages using biofuel amount to less than two tons of CO\u2082.<\/p>\n
The EcoVoy concept is based on Meriaura’s vessels’ ability to use biofuel as an energy source. When using 100% waste-based\u00a0biofuel\u00a0produced by the Meriaura’s subsidiary VG EcoFuel Oy, the\u00a0transport\u2019s life cycle\u00a0emissions are reduced considerably, 97.7%, compared to the use of fossil fuels.<\/p>\n
The EcoVoy concept, audited by KPMG according to the ISAE3000 standard, guarantees the emission reductions resulting from the use of biofuel to customers. The production\u00a0of\u00a0VG Marine EcoFuel\u2122 is ISCC-certified and the raw materials for the fuel are derived from domestic industrial by-products and recycled materials.<\/p>\n
\u201dOur customer, Boliden, aims to become the world\u2019s most environmentally friendly metal producer. The maritime sector has been particularly challenging in terms of reducing emissions, and we are very pleased that our cooperation is contributing also to the sustainable development of maritime transport\u201d,\u00a0says Meriaura’s COO Mathias Landor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
