Sustainable Marine Fuel (SMF)

Sustainable Marine Fuels (SMF) are alternative shipping fuels produced from renewable waste and residue sources, such as used cooking oil or other biomass, instead of fossil fuels. Designed to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions across a vessel’s lifecycle, SMFs can lower carbon output by up to 80–85 percent on main haul routes. They are a key tool for decarbonizing global shipping, helping companies and carriers meet climate targets while keeping international trade moving efficiently.
