To reduce CO2 emissions worldwide we are accelerating the use of sustainable energy carriers and phasing out fossil fuels. One the of the greatest fuels we use to reduce CO2 is HVO, a synthetic diesel, which is produced from the residue streams of the food industry or industrial processes. It is also a very sustainable fuel: it reduces CO2 emissions up to 89 percent and ensures clean combustion, both on land and water.
If you consider that our goal is to make the total volume of FinCo more sustainable, then we need to produce and use a lot more HVO in the future. The government isn’t stimulating the scale of HVO sufficiently yet; there are no laws and regulations. That is why we want to take the lead. An important part of the automotive sector will be electrified by 2035 and we are obviously contributing, but until then, there is still so much CO2 to be saved. And HVO can play a major role in this.
Our Sales Manager Arno de Graaf explains: ‘We want to take a pioneering role and show that HVO can play a major part in CO2 reduction. We have a large commercial toolbox at our disposal and more than enough experience with the product to be sure that environment is really better off with more HVO.‘

There are several reasons why methanol is interesting for FinCo and the markets we serve. First off: methanol is a liquid. This means that it fits perfectly into our existing logistics system. Secondly, you can make methanol from almost any residue stream you can think of, so the feedstocks are always available. In addition, methanol’s production process is relatively simple and requires relatively little energy. And because you make it from sustainable feedstocks, the product has a very low carbon footprint, with savings up to 80 to high in the 90s percent. So when we’re talking about methanol, we’re always talking about bio-methanol.
Why wait with the energy transition? By providing sustainable fuels that ships can already use today, GoodFuels creates momentum in the shipping industry. We strive to propel the shipping industry forward, towards a greener future.
