Quadrise is aiming to turn shipping’s fuel transition into a commercial opportunity by offering lower-emission fuels that can work with existing marine infrastructure. Rather than depending on future fuel systems that still face cost, safety, supply and infrastructure barriers, the company is focused on solutions that shipowners can test and adopt sooner.
This creates a relevant opening for Quadrise. The company is focused on fuels that can work with existing infrastructure and engine systems, giving shipowners a lower-risk route to reduce emissions while the wider fuel market develops.
Quadrise’s position is tied to the need for transitional fuels. Shipping has already improved efficiency through better vessel design, operational changes and slow steaming. The next phase will require fuel solutions that deliver emissions benefits without placing unrealistic demands on operators. Quadrise is aiming to meet that need by using emulsification technology to improve the performance and usability of fuels, including biofuel-related materials.
Biofuels are important because they can use existing fuel supply networks, but their credibility depends on feedstock quality and certification. Fuels must come from genuine waste streams, not from material produced mainly to claim environmental benefits.
Quadrise is working with companies that make biofuels and with producers of waste streams from biofuel production. Its goal is to create usable marine fuel products from these materials.
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.
