This is the first supply under a pilot project in partnership with PRIO for the use of biofuels in port equipment and ships.

This is one of the pilot projects included in the Program for the Energetic Transition of the Port of Aveiro, whose Strategy was approved by APA in 2020, and which aims to decarbonize the entire pilotage fleet of the Port of Aveiro.

The first supply of the "Triângulo" boat was made with Eco Bunkers, a product developed by PRIO, with 15% of advanced Biodiesel and produced from residual raw materials, the result of a circular economy process.

With this project, APA and Prio expect the following results:

- A reduction of up to 18% in greenhouse gas emissions.

- Reduction of fuel consumption up to 10%.
