Rotterdam's price for B30-VLSFO, a type of biofuel, has stayed the same over the last week, despite conventional fuel prices in the Dutch port rising by $40 per metric ton. The B30-LSMGO price, another biofuel, has climbed $38 per metric ton due to a $100 increase in the port's conventional LSMGO price. POMEME and UCOME barge prices, according to Prima Markets, have also risen $137 per metric ton over the same period.
They are currently at $2,017 and $1,947 per metric ton, respectively. The price of pure B100, a different kind of biofuel, has dropped by $72 to $1,304 per metric ton. Meanwhile, the price of B30-LSMGO in Aveiro has risen $110 to $1,561 per metric ton. Singapore's B30-VLSFO price has increased $45 to $1,051 per metric ton, with the conventional VLSFO price up $62.
A study by the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation warns that blending biofuel with residual marine fuels like VLSFO could cause issues with mass flow meters.
