Rotterdam, The Netherlands – July 23, 2025 — Burando Energies, a leading independent supplier of marine fuels in Europe, has reached a major milestone in the decarbonisation of the shipping industry with the full-scale delivery of B100 ISCC-certified FAME Residue to multiple Teekay Tankers vessels across the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp Region (ARA Region). The delivery marks a pivotal step forward in the commercial and operational viability of fully renewable marine fuels for deep-sea shipping, transitioning the company from pilot testing to full commercial deployment.
Derived entirely from waste-based feedstocks, B100 FAME is fully compliant with International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) standards and offers a scalable, traceable, and operationally proven alternative to fossil-based marine fuels.

From Test Phase to Full Commercial Use
Earlier in 2025, Burando Energies partnered with Teekay Tankers to trial a 30% biofuel blend, evaluating the operational viability of low-emission marine fuels under real-world conditions. The positive results set the stage for a natural progression to a 100% renewable B100 deployment—now successfully delivered and in active service across Teekay’s fleet.
“This isn’t just a fuel delivery. It’s a signal of what’s now possible,” said Nick de Haan, Head of Decarbonisation Strategies at Burando Energies. “We’ve gone from testing concepts to proving that a 100% waste-based biofuel can be scaled, certified, and used without compromising vessel performance or operational integrity.”
“We’re not just exploring options; we’re implementing real solutions,” added Mads Bjornebye, Manager Bunker Services at Teekay Tankers. “This full deployment of B100 demonstrates what the future of shipping can—and should—look like.”
Industry Impact: Fueling the Future
This achievement directly addresses key challenges in the maritime sector’s energy transition:
- Scalable, Waste-Based Marine Fuels: The B100 fuel is made from FAME Residue, a waste-based biostream that does not compete with food production or arable land. This makes it both sustainable and scalable—a rare combination in the biofuels bunker market.
- Full ISCC Traceability: The fuel is fully certified under the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) scheme, providing transparent verification of feedstock origin, lifecycle carbon intensity, and environmental performance.
- Compatibility Without Compromise: One of the standout features of B100 is its use as a drop-in solution, requiring no modifications to vessel engines or infrastructure. Teekay’s successful deployment across multiple vessels confirms that full-scale transition to renewable fuels can be achieved with zero operational disruption.
A Turning Point for Maritime Energy
Burando Energies’ successful B100 delivery affirms the company’s mission to move beyond theoretical goals and into practical decarbonisation. Rather than viewing energy transition as a future aspiration, this collaboration places renewable bunkering firmly in the now.
“We are proud to help lead the transition—not in theory, but in practice,” said de Haan. “This delivery is proof that sustainable shipping isn’t a future concept. It’s already underway.”
