The country's first grain ship powered by biofuel is set to leave port on Sunday, only the second time the renewable fuel alternative has been used in an Australian export ship.A ship running on 20pc vegetable oil is leaving port, the second trial of its kind in Australia
"We'll be measuring carbon emissions during this trip. We're targeting a 15 per cent reduction," CBH chief trading officer Jason Craig said. Ironically that ship, which reduced its emissions by 9 per cent, was carrying 160,000 tonnes of coal to India for steel manufacturing.
Good stuff
Did the vegetables have a choice?
Great. Jack up the price of vegetable oil. Nice work. Solve a problem, create one.
Gotta start somewhere. Good job👍
Any analysis regarding a veg oil spill in the ocean?

TBH that is all that vegetable oil is good for, it certainly isn't fit for human consumption.
Most stupid things to do, where is the vegetable Oil coming from? Natural forests are being brunt down in Malaysia and Indonesia to grow palm oil/ vegetable Oil. To solve one problem they are creating another !!
Can you imagine the number of seagulls tracking this thing.
So it destroys vegetables? Great
As I recall vegetable oil still produces CO2
How about a story of ships using kites? Using the wind is more sustainable than adding demand to a food source.
