Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) has unveiled a pioneering biofuel blend bunker at Mumbai Port, marking a significant step in the Indian oil and gas sector. Announced on Friday, this new facility is the first of its kind set up by an oil marketing company (OMC) in the country.

The bunker, designed for High Flash High-Speed Diesel (HFHSD) blends, offers shipping companies a cleaner and biodegradable alternative to conventional marine fuels. This move underscores BPCL’s commitment to environmental sustainability by providing a more eco-friendly option for maritime fuel needs.

In its statement, BPCL emphasized that the biofuel blend bunker aligns with its goal of enhancing sustainability within the industry. The introduction of this facility not only reflects BPCL’s leadership in the Indian bunkering market but also represents a forward-thinking approach to reducing the environmental impact of shipping operations.

The establishment of this biofuel bunker is expected to support broader efforts in reducing carbon emissions and promoting the use of renewable energy sources in the maritime sector. BPCL’s initiative highlights its role in advancing green technologies and reinforcing its position as an industry leader committed to environmental stewardship.
