Aalborg, Denmark | September 2025 – Malik Energy A/S, a leading Danish supplier of marine fuels and part of the Malik Group, has initiated the full-scale delivery of a co-processed DMA, marine gas oil (MGO) with renewable content across all major Danish ports. Recently delivered by Swedish refiner Preem AB, this next-generation fuel is engineered to help shipowners comply with the EU’s FuelEU Maritime regulation—while accelerating maritime decarbonization with zero operational disruption.
The co-processed DMA product offers up to 95% lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction at full blend, significantly exceeding the regulatory minimum of 80%. Fully drop-in compatible, the fuel meets ISO 8217:2017 DMA specifications, allowing seamless integration into existing marine engines and onboard systems.

A Strategic Step Toward Regulatory Readiness
As the FuelEU Maritime framework mandates progressive reductions in fuel carbon intensity across European shipping, Malik Energy is positioning its renewable DMA fuel as a practical, scalable compliance solution for shipowners.
Alongside its continued supply of high-quality conventional marine fuels, Malik Energy is expanding its portfolio to include future-ready products that address both immediate operational needs and longer-term environmental goals.
“This co-processed DMA marine fuel represents a key step forward for shipowners navigating complex decarbonization mandates,” shared Malik Energy. “It’s ready-to-use, fully compatible with existing systems, and supports real, certifiable emission reductions.”
The Technology: Co-Processing for Seamless Integration
Unlike conventional biofuel blending, this renewable MGO is produced using co-processing technology—a method that integrates waste-based renewable feedstocks such as used cooking oil and animal fats directly into the refinery stream alongside fossil crude. This results in a single, uniform fuel product with the same performance characteristics as traditional DMA-grade marine fuels.
Key Specifications:
- Lifecycle GHG Reduction: Guaranteed minimum of 80%, with current batches achieving up to 95% — independently verified via mass balance or Carbon-14 analysis
- ISO 8217:2017 DMA Compliance: Ensures full compatibility with engines and onboard fuel systems
- High Energy Density: Provides 16% higher calorific value than traditional FAME-based biofuels
- Seasonal Performance: Tailored cloud point control for reliable operation across all climates
- ISCC EU Certification: Delivered with Proof of Sustainability, providing traceable, auditable records of GHG reduction and renewable content
“We take pride in contributing to a more sustainable future for shipping—turning industry ambitions into tangible action.” shared Malik Energy. “Our partnership with Preem AB has been instrumental in enabling us to offer this innovative product, providing our customers with a tailor-made renewable fuel solution that supports full compliance with the FuelEU Maritime regulation.”
