Agunsa offers biodiesel bunkers in Argentina
Chile-based marine fuel supplier Agunsa, which also sells marine fuels in Argentina, is now offering biodiesel for bunkering in Argentina.
Agunsa's subsidiary Total Bunkering — not affiliated with France's TotalEnergies — entered into a partnership with an unnamed local Argentinian supplier to procure used cooking oil methyl ester (Ucome), which it can blend with either very low-sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) or with marine gasoil. The fuel is International Certification in Sustainability and Carbon (ISCC)-certified. It can be supplied via truck to the ports of San Nicolas, Campana, San Pedtro, Rosario and the Ternium-Siderar terminal.
Globally, one of the most popular biodiesel blends is B30, a blend of 30pc Ucome and 70pc VLSFO. An Argentinean B30 biodiesel bunker blend could command a premium of about 80pc to the price of VLSFO, Agunsa told Argus. Buenos Aires, Argentina, VLSFO was assessed at an average of $599/t on 1-14 August, which would place B30 at around $1,078/t.
