Fratelli Cosulich USA has reached a significant milestone by obtaining the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC), reinforcing its commitment to sustainable marine fuel solutions. This achievement enables the company to trade biofuels while ensuring full traceability of bio-based products, aligning with the industry’s transition toward cleaner energy sources.
ISCC Certification and Its Importance in Sustainable Marine Fuel Supply
The ISCC is a globally recognized certification system that promotes sustainability, transparency, and greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction across supply chains. It ensures that biofuels and other sustainable feedstocks comply with strict environmental and social standards, fostering responsible resource management. With this certification, Fratelli Cosulich USA strengthens its role in the marine fuel market, particularly as biofuels gain traction as a viable alternative to conventional fossil fuels.
Biofuels have emerged as a key player in the decarbonization of the shipping industry, offering a renewable energy source that significantly reduces emissions compared to traditional marine fuels. As the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and global regulatory bodies push for stricter emissions targets, ISCC-certified biofuels provide shipowners and operators with a compliant, lower-carbon alternative without requiring major modifications to existing engines.
Fratelli Cosulich’s Commitment to Sustainability
Simone Garuzzo, Bunker Trading Manager at Fratelli Cosulich’s New York office, expressed his enthusiasm for this achievement, emphasizing the company’s dedication to responsible fuel trading and sustainability.
Fratelli Cosulich USA now joins the company’s growing network of ISCC-certified offices, including Fratelli Cosulich S.p.A., Fratelli Cosulich Middle East DMCC, Fratelli Cosulich Bunkers (S), Fratelli Cosulich Unipessoal, and Fratelli Cosulich Monaco. This expansion underscores the company’s ongoing efforts to integrate sustainable practices across its global operations, ensuring that it meets the evolving demands of the maritime industry.
As biofuels continue to play a crucial role in the energy transition, ISCC certification positions Fratelli Cosulich as a key supplier capable of meeting the highest sustainability standards. The certification also enhances confidence among shipowners and operators seeking reliable, traceable, and environmentally responsible fuel solutions.
With this milestone, Fratelli Cosulich USA reaffirms its commitment to advancing sustainability in marine fuel supply, contributing to a greener future for the shipping industry.
