From October, Baltic Enabler and Botnia Enabler are operating on Liquefied Biogas (LBG). <\/strong><\/p>\n

The partnership with Gasum marks another milestone on the company\u2019s Climate Roadmap, benefiting both customers and the environment. <\/p>\n

SINCE OCTOBER, WALLENIUS SOL has transitioned its vessels Baltic Enabler and Botnia Enabler from LNG to liquefied biogas (LBG). The transition is made possible through a new supply agreement with Gasum, one of the leading providers of renewable gas in the Nordic region. <\/p>\n

“Renewable fuels are not a distant solution but something we can use here and now.\u201d Rebecca Tagaeus, WALLENIUS SOL.
\nPlanned progression <\/p>\n

The move is part of WALLENIUS SOL\u2019s Climate Roadmap, which sets out a pathway to operate entirely on renewable fuels by 2035 and to reach no harmful environmental impact by 2045. The introduction of LBG into regular operations represents a significant step in that transition.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s roadmap outlines a gradual shift from transitional fuels to fully renewable alternatives. LNG has been a bridge fuel for recent years, and with this agreement WALLENIUS SOL is now fully replacing it with biogas. <\/p>\n

Bunkering LBG in Botnia and Baltic Enabler is an important step to reach their full potential, and to strengthen the entire WALLENIUS SOL fleet in its efforts to reduce its environmental footprint. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe transition from LNG to LBG is an important milestone for WALLENIUS SOL,\u201d says Rebecca Tagaeus, Sustainability Officer at WALLENIUS SOL. \u201cIt shows that renewable fuels are not a distant solution but something we can use here and now. Switching to LBG for Botnia and Baltic Enabler is clear proof that our Roadmap is delivering, and that we are investing in our customers\u2019 climate goals.\u201d <\/p>\n

For customers, the change reduces the carbon footprint of transport without affecting schedules, performance, or booking procedures. LBG is produced from organic waste streams such as residues from agriculture and food production. Because it is chemically identical to LNG, the vessels can operate with no technical modifications. The main difference is that LBG is renewable; the carbon it contains is part of a short natural cycle, as opposed to fossil carbon released from underground reserves. This means that greenhouse gas emissions are reduced from a life-cycle perspective. Lower emissions also mean that customers can reflect improvements in their Scope 3 reporting. <\/p>\n

The LBG used by WALLENIUS SOL will be produced from Nordic residual streams, ensuring no conflict with food production. The LBG is certified under RED II and traceable via ISCC.<\/p>\n

Gasum will supply the biogas under a pooling arrangement designed to support renewable fuel uptake in the shipping sector. By aggregating demand from several customers, the arrangement helps scale up supply and build stability in the market. For WALLENIUS SOL, it provides access to consistent volumes of LBG and ensures that the fuel can be introduced in regular operations. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very excited that WALLENIUS SOL has decided to join our FuelEU Maritime pool, as this collaboration enables us to open even more regulation surplus to shipowners,\u201d says Jacob Granqvist, Vice President, Maritime at Gasum. \u201cPooling is a brilliant and easy opportunity for all maritime actors to join forces in lowering emissions from the industry together.\u201d <\/p>\n

The first bunkerings of LBG took place in early October. The agreement with Gasum enables WALLENIUS SOL to exchange all use of LNG to LBG, making a significant reduction on greenhouse gas emissions in line with the company\u2019s long-term climate targets. <\/p>\n
