VLS B24 - the new Petrobras bunker with renewable content
Aiming for a just and safe energy transition, Petrobras is a pioneer and leader in Brazil in developing a fuel to accelerate maritime decarbonization.
VLS B24 is Petrobras’ marine fuel oil with renewable content, produced from a blend of 76% mineral bunker oil and 24% biodiesel (FAME - Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) by volume.
The biodiesel used is certified under ISCC EU RED, meeting the strict sustainability and greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction criteria established by the European Renewable Energy Directive.
Additionally, it complies with the quality standards set by ANP Resolution No. 920 of 2023.
This product has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 20% and can be used in existing marine engines without the need for modifications.
Our marine fuel oil is energy to navigate and connect continents
We sail to distant seas with our fuels for the maritime transport of cargo and passengers. They are supplied through bunkering services by barges or headers, supplying vessels moored or anchored in the main Brazilian ports — both those that operate in coastal navigation along the Brazilian coast, as well as long-haul vessels that travel along our coast.
For the main internal combustion engines on these vessels, we supply the marine fuel oil named Petrobras Bunker, of the VLSFO (Very Low Sulfur Fuel Oil) type and marine diesel, called MGO (Marine Gasoil) Petrobras, of the DMA type.
VLSFO Petrobras Bunker
We produce the bunker in our refineries from formulations that combine different streams of refining processes, aiming to meet domestic and international specifications and suitability for use and quality requirements.
We are the main company in Brazil in the production and supply of marine fuel oil. Petrobras Bunker complies with the requirements of the IMO 2020 regulation, which limited the sulfur content in marine fuels to 0.5% in mass, the international specifications of ISO 8217 and the national specifications of Resolution No. 903/2022 of the National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels Agency (ANP).
