Vast Infraestrutura’s Decarbonization Pathways
Aware of its responsibility in the journey toward a lower-carbon world and aiming to better guide its actions in this direction, Vast Infraestrutura has established two priority pathways within its Decarbonization Journey: one focused on developing infrastructure to support vessel electrification, and another dedicated to promoting the use of fuels with a lower carbon footprint in the maritime sector.
The company has been making significant progress on both fronts. Regarding vessel electrification, in addition to the tugboat dock inaugurated at T-Oil in 2024, in partnership with Wilson Sons, and the expansion of onshore power supply for other support vessels, Vast signed a memorandum of understanding this year with the Port of Rotterdam to study the possibilities of electrifying tankers on a global scale.
As for encouraging the use of lower-carbon fuels in the sector, 2025 marked a major milestone: the first-ever maritime fueling operation using HVO in Brazil, carried out at TLA. The use of this fuel, also known as renewable diesel, in the tugboats operating at T-Oil can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 80%, significantly lowering the carbon footprint of Vast’s transshipment operations.
The results achieved so far are a source of pride for the company, which continues to work relentlessly to go further and help build an increasingly sustainable future.
