Green shipping corridors are planned trade routes where ports, shipping companies, fuel suppliers and regulators work together to reduce emissions from maritime transport. They create defined markets where cleaner fuel technologies can be tested, adopted and scaled.
Shipping needs practical ways to cut emissions, but many future fuel options still face cost, infrastructure and availability challenges. Green corridors help address this by focusing investment and planning on specific routes rather than the entire global fleet at once. This makes the transition more realistic and easier to track.
Quadrise’s bioMSAR is relevant because it is designed to work with existing marine fuel systems with only minor modifications. The company presents it as a transition fuel that can reduce emissions now, while the industry continues to develop longer-term options such as hydrogen, ammonia and methanol.
According to Quadrise, bioMSAR can deliver well-to-wake carbon dioxide equivalent savings of 10 to 50 per cent compared with fuel oils. The company also says its emulsion fuel technology can improve engine efficiency by up to 10 per cent. Fuel adoption is more likely when emissions reductions are linked to operational and cost benefits.
The company also argues that bioMSAR has practical advantages over some competing alternatives. LNG needs cryogenic storage, takes up more onboard space and can face methane slip concerns. FAME can have storage and handling issues, as well as feedstock competition. bioMSAR is positioned as easier to store and integrate because it can use existing fuel oil infrastructure more closely.
Quadrise plc (LON:QED) is an energy technology provider whose solutions enable production of cheaper, cleaner, simpler and safer alternatives to fuel oil and biofuels, proven in real world applications. Quadrise technologies produce transition fuels called MSAR® and bioMSAR™, which allow clients in the shipping, utilities and industrial sectors to reduce carbon emissions whilst also saving costs.
