This volume, supplied over just four months, is equivalent to 13% of the LNG consumed by Baleària’s entire gas-powered fleet in 2024.

The use of this biofuel between September and December will prevent the emission of 80,300 tonnes of CO2, the annual equivalent of taking 153,500 cars off the roads or planting 160,650 trees.

“The use of bioLNG on our regular routes represents a real and verifiable step forward in our commitment to achieving net-zero emissions”, explains Georges Bassoul, CEO of Baleària. “The investments in our fleet that we have made in recent years to equip it with dual engines allow us to use this renewable fuel, which prevents the release of greenhouse gases and accelerates decarbonisation.

First ferry company in Europe with ISCC certification

Baleària has become the first ferry company in Europe to receive the ISCC EU (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification). This standard international accreditation is recognised by both the European Commission and the international community, guaranteeing the traceability and sustainability of the biofuels and other renewable energies used by a company in its operations. This is possible thanks to the Proof of Sustainability (PoS) system, which certifies their origin, volume and characteristics, including emissions savings. The ISCC certification joins other environmental certifications already held by Baleària, such as the Green Maritime Europe label.
