European marine fuel supplier Burando Energies on Wednesday (29 July) said it supplied approximately 30% of all biofuel blended marine fuel and B100 volumes bunkered in the Port of Rotterdam in the first half of 2026, based on data from the Rotterdam Port Authority. This excludes alternative fuels such as methanol, ethanol and LNG. The company said Rotterdam remains one of the most cost-competitive locations in Europe to bunker biofuels. The Netherlands is currently the only major bunkering hub in the ARA region where RED III has been transposed for marine, creating an ERE-based discount mechanism that makes blended fuels in Rotterdam meaningfully cheaper than equivalent products in other ports outside the Netherlands. For shipowners focused on EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime compliance, the economics of bunkering biofuels in Rotterdam are the most cost-effective. “We have positioned ourselves to capture this demand through deliberate infrastructure investment, including our dedicated, company-owned biofuel blending terminal at AFT Amsterdam,” it added. Backed by its wholly owned fleet of biofuel barges, the company said it ensures reliable and timely delivery, while its in-house sustainability team issues all compliance documentation accurately and promptly. Burando Energies supply an array of biofuel blends across all Dutch and Belgian ports, including Zeebrugge. Its portfolio includes HSFO, VLSFO and Marine Gasoil/Diesel-based blends alongside B100 FAME, B100 HVO and B100 FAME Residue products. “We are extremely proud to see the trust of our new and repeat customers supporting the growth of our operation and enabling us to continuously improve both our physical products and associated compliance documents,” said Nick de Haan, Head of Decarbonisation Strategies at Burando Energies. Biofuel uptake in Rotterdam is growing and Burando Energies expects that trajectory to continue as FuelEU Maritime obligations increase and the EU ETS cost of conventional fuel rises. “Among
