As the marine industry races to slash greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, the Alfa Laval Test & Training Centre is taking a key role. The 2800 square metres testing space – already equipped for today’s oil and gas fuels – has been readied for testing with biofuels. In coming years, the Alfa Laval Test & Training Centre will accumulate knowledge that is vital to a carbon-free future. Alfa Laval Test & Training Centre Located in Aalborg, Denmark, the Alfa Laval Test...

As the marine industry races to slash greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, the Alfa Laval Test & Training Centre is taking a key role. The 2800 sq. m testing space, already equipped for the modern oil and gas fuels, has been readied for testing with biofuels. In the coming years, the Alfa Laval Test & Training Centre will accumulate knowledge that is vital to a carbon-free future. Partnership with biofuels in focus Alfa Laval, bio-fuel producer, MASH Energy and ship owner, DFDS have ente...
