SINGAPORE, Aug 15 (Reuters) – (This Aug. 15 story has been corrected to say emissions had decreased by 20% rather than ‘sharply dropped’ in the headline, and to say ‘very low sulphur fuel oil,’ not ‘marine gasoil,’ in paragraph 1)

The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) found net carbon emissions fell 20% using a vegetable oil biofuel blend compared with very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) in a trial for a dual-fuel liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) carrier, the centre said on Tuesday.
