Burando Energies Delivers VLSFO with 30% ISCC Certified FAME Residue to Teekay Tankers in Amsterdam

Amsterdam, 14th May, 2025

Burando Energies has successfully completed a bunkering operation for Teekay Tankers, delivering a bespoke blend of Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) containing 30% ISCC Certified FAME Residue in the Port of Amsterdam. This delivery reflects the growing demand for lower-carbon, cost-effective marine fuels that do not compromise engine performance or fuel quality. By blending its high-quality VLSFO with FAME Residue, Burando Energies provides a scalable solution that meets both commercial and environmental targets.

“We are proud to support Teekay Tankers in taking concrete steps toward sustainable operations,” said Nick de Haan, Head of Decarbonisation Strategies at Burando Energies. “This delivery showcases our ability to meet the evolving fuel demands of the global shipping industry with innovative, lower-carbon solutions that are also commercially viable.”

What is FAME Residue?

FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters) Residue is a renewable, second-generation bio-component derived from waste oils and residual feedstocks from biodiesel production. Unlike conventional biodiesel, FAME Residue is considered a more economical and circular option, offering a reduced carbon footprint at a lower cost.

Through extensive testing and evaluation, Burando Energies has secured a consistent, high-grade FAME Residue stream that blends well with VLSFO and maintains full compatibility with existing marine engines. The result is a drop-in fuel blend that lowers lifecycle emissions while enhancing both operational efficiency and fuel flexibility.

Partnering for Impact

Teekay Tankers, a global leader in oil transportation, continues to lead in sustainable shipping practices by integrating lower-carbon fuels into its operations.

“Teekay Tankers has partnered with Burando for many years and has worked with us on the first FAME Residue biofuel delivery in Amsterdam,” said Mads Bjornebye, Manager Bunker Services at Teekay Tankers. “Burando coordinated closely with both our Technical and Commercial teams to ensure a smooth delivery.”

This collaboration highlights the potential of renewable marine fuels to support both immediate emission reductions and long-term decarbonisation strategies.

Driving the Energy Transition

Burando Energies continues to invest in flexible infrastructure, fuel innovation, and sustainable logistics to help the maritime industry transition to a low-carbon future. The delivery to Teekay Tankers is another clear example of how practical, scalable solutions are already reshaping the marine fuel landscape.
