River Thames to slash carbon footprint thanks to a new green floating fuel station
Mar 10 2021 Read 518 Times
A new collaboration between the biggest commercial vessel operator on the Thames, GPS Marine and Green Biofuels, the UK’s leading provider of clean advanced fuel GreenD+, will help reduce London’s carbon emissions, improve local air quality, and boost the Thames’ drive to clean up and reduce pollution.
GPS Marine and
Green Biofuels commenced their partnership last year, by fuelling with GreenD+ the Thames Tideway Tug pulling barges to one of London’s largest construction projects: the new ‘Super Sewer’. This week their new fuel bunker barge, the ‘Dispenser’ will not only be refuelling the tug delivering tunnel lining ring segments for the Thames Tideway Central Section, but also a growing number of other commercial vessels on and around the Thames. The Dispenser will supply GreenD+, which is the lowest emission diesel fuel available on the river.
