BSRC Highlights B24 Marine Fuel on ASEAN Stage, Reinforcing Thailand’s Leadership Toward Sustainable Maritime Transport
Bangchak Sriracha Public Company Limited (BSRC), represented by Dr. Bowornsak Wanichkul, Vice President of Government Relations & Sustainability, was honored to speak at the 5th Palm Biodiesel Conference under the topic “B24 Marine Fuel: Fueling Lower-Emission Shipping”. The presentation shared insights into the development and growing trend of B24 Marine Fuel, an environmentally friendly biofuel for maritime transport.
BSRC is the first producer and distributor of B24 Marine Fuel in Thailand, offering a practical solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the shipping sector - without the need for engine modification. This is considered a significant turning point for the maritime industry across Asia-Pacific region.
“B24 is a high-potential alternative to help reduce carbon emissions in maritime transport, in alignment with the International Maritime Organization (IMO)’s goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from the global shipping sector by 2050. Thailand also holds a geographic advantage as it is located near key shipping routes in Asia, making it well-positioned to grow as a regional hub for sustainable maritime logistics in the future” said Dr. Bowornsak.
The 5th Palm Biodiesel Conference was held in Bangkok on 23-24 June 2025. The event also featured discussions on the rising demand for biofuels across Asia, especially in response to stricter environmental regulations such as the Fuel EU Maritime and the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) under the IMO framework. There were also recommendations for Thailand to accelerate investments in clean technology, encourage the government to establish clear policies, and build an integrated support system across the entire value chain to sustainably drive this industry forward.
With the vision of “Shaping sustainable future with premier energy through innovative solutions”, BSRC remains committed to developing environmentally friendly alternative energy products - aiming to be part of the solution in building a truly carbon-free future.
