GROUP NAVALE provides marine biofuel feasibility studies for individual ships and entire fleets, helping shipowners and ship management companies assess the technical, environmental and economic impact of switching from conventional marine fuels to B30, B100 and other biofuel alternatives.
Based in Piraeus, Greece, our marine engineering office prepares vessel-specific assessments for bulk carriers, tankers, container ships, offshore vessels, passenger ships, ferries, tugboats and yachts.
Vessel-Specific Biofuel Assessment
Every vessel has different machinery, fuel systems and operating requirements. Our biofuel feasibility analysis considers the vessel’s fuel consumption, voyage profile, machinery particulars and available fuel specifications to compare suitable alternatives.
The assessment covers fuel properties, energy-equivalent consumption, machinery compatibility, storage and handling requirements, sustainability documentation and implementation conditions.
CO₂ Emissions and CII Improvement
We evaluate how biofuel use on selected voyages or across annual operations could affect CO₂ emissions accounting and the IMO Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII), where applicable.
Our studies compare the conventional-fuel baseline with proposed biofuel scenarios, showing the potential change in attained CII and annual performance rating under the relevant accounting requirements.
EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime Assessment
GROUP NAVALE assesses the potential impact of marine biofuels on EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) allowance requirements and FuelEU Maritime compliance.
The analysis considers voyage scope, fuel certification, greenhouse-gas intensity and compliance costs, giving owners a clear comparison of the proposed fuel options.
Biofuel Costs and Break-Even Analysis
Our marine biofuel economic feasibility studies compare fuel purchase premiums with potential compliance savings. Break-even calculations and sensitivity analysis show how fuel prices, carbon allowance prices and implementation costs influence the result.
Whether you are planning a first biofuel trial, selected-voyage substitution or a fleet decarbonisation strategy, GROUP NAVALE can undertake the feasibility study for your vessel type.
