BSRC Showcases Thailand’s First B24 Marine Biofuel at TRPF 2025, Presentation: “B24 Marine Fuel: Fueling Lower-Emission Shipping”

Dr. Bowornsak Wanichkul, Vice President of Government Relations and Sustainability at Bangchak Sriracha Public Company Limited (BSRC), was honoured to be one of the featured speakers at the 3^rd Thailand Refining and Petrochemical Forum 2025 (TRPF 2025) held on 29 May 2025. His presentation, titled “B24 Marine Fuel: Fueling Lower-Emission Shipping” highlighted a major breakthrough for BSRC and for Thailand - the development and first-ever delivery of B24 Marine Fuel, a sustainable biofuel blend for marine use.

B24 is an environmentally friendly fuel alternative that can be used in ocean-going vessels without requiring engine modification. It also delivers a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) ambition to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

Earlier this year, BSRC successfully delivered Thailand’s first commercial lot of B24 Marine Biofuel to NYK Trading Corporation (Japan), a leading maritime company, at Laem Chabang Port in Chonburi Province. The demand for B24 continues to grow steadily across the marine transport sector.

“The launch of B24 not only reflects Thailand’s energy innovation capability” said Dr. Bowornsak during the event, “but also marks a crucial step in positioning the country as a sustainable maritime logistics hub in the Asia-Pacific region”.

This success reinforces BSRC’s vision to lead in clean energy innovation, while supporting the sustainable growth of the shipping industry amid the global transition to low-carbon energy.
