Scorpio Tankers Inc. (NYSE:STNG) (“Scorpio Tankers,” or the
“Company”) announced that the Company has signed a non-binding
Memorandum of Understanding to install the Fowe Eco Solutions Ltd.
(“FOWE”) fuel emulsion systems across its entire fleet. The terms
of the licensing agreement will require no material upfront costs
for the Company and is expected to result in an overall reduction
of at least 3% in fuel costs and 100,000 tons of carbon emissions
annually.
Mr. Emanuele Lauro, Chairman and CEO of the
Company, commented, “In terms of financial and environmental
benefits, the FOWE system stands out for its clear and immediate
advantages. Requiring little in the way of initial
investment and eliminating the need for installation downtime, the
FOWE solution presents an ideal pathway to reducing operating
expenses and curbing greenhouse gas emissions.”
Mr. Dean Mihalic, CEO of FOWE added, “Recent
tests conducted at the Alfa Laval Test and Training Centre in
Aalborg, Denmark, indicate potential fuel savings of up to 6.3% for
boilers and 8.7% for marine four-stroke engines. Our
technology produces a permanent emulsion with no additives,
resulting in cleaner and more complete combustion and significantly
lower greenhouse gas emissions. We are pleased to have
reached this stage with Scorpio Tankers, our anchor customer and
trusted partner throughout the testing and development
process.”
The final licensing agreement is subject to
customary documentation and closing conditions, and it is expected
to be signed within the first quarter of 2024.
