Lower carbon footprint operations at T-Oil
The Wilson Sons tugboat fueled with HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) at the Açu Liquid Terminal (TLA) is already operating in oil transshipment activities at T-Oil.
HVO can reduce tugboat carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e) emissions by up to 80%, lowering Vast’s indirect operational emissions and overall carbon footprint.
This innovation adds to other initiatives implemented by the company since the start of T-Oil’s activities, a terminal designed with a low-emission profile. In February this year, a study conducted by Vast and Bureau Veritas confirmed that T-Oil operations, carried out in sheltered waters, emit 3x less CO₂e than offshore operations, known as underway.
