Biofuels are increasingly in the news â a biofuelled airline has been flown; fuel suppliers are to ensure that a percentage of their sales must include biofuels and there is a lively debate about âfeeding or fuelling the nationâ. In his lecture, entitled âBiofuels and their effects on the shipping industryâ on 23 April, Richard Sadler will cover the various types of biofuels and how they may affect marine transportation, the effect on new and existing trade patterns, the subsequent changes that this may have on suitable ship designs and sizes; together with the application of biofuels as marine fuels and lubricants. The Lecture will be delivered at the City Conference Centre, (the headquarters of IMarEST). Attendance is free of charge to IMarEST members and non-members alike.
