Fuel additives, perhaps the least talked-about solution in decarbonising shipping, have received a vote of confidence from the world’s largest bunker supplier after early trials showed cuts in consumption.

Bunker One said its trial of Purify Fuel’s proprietary nanO2 fuel combustion catalyst generated consumption fuel savings of 6.4%
