Startups Helping Produce Low Sulfur Bunker Fuels

Knowledge-based firms are helping Qeshm Star Bunkering Company to produce very low sulfur fuel oil (VLSFO), managing director of the firm said. 
“The fuel conforms to the International Maritime Organization’s [IMO] regulations for a 0.5% global sulfur cap for marine fuels,” Mohsen Fakheri was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
“The implementation of the global low sulfur regime for bunker fuels, which took effect in 2020, turned out to be a major challenge for Iranian shipping companies as very few refineries were able to produce the fuel, he added.
Fakheri noted that startups have played an active role in this regard and the problem is almost solved.
