In an EU-funded research project, an international consortium is aiming to develop new production methods for sustainable marine fuels to replace heavy fuel oils in shipping. However, HFOs are banned in the national waters of many countries. Although cleaner fuels are available, many companies opt for HFOs due to their low cost.
