CCIC Singapore Laboratory Now Offers ISO 6583 Methanol Testing for Marine Fuel Applications. As the maritime industry continues to seek sustainable and efficient fuel alternatives, methanol has emerged as a promising option for reducing emissions and meeting stringent environmental regulations.
At CCIC Singapore, we are proud to announce that our advanced laboratory is now equipped to conduct ISO 6583 methanol testing specifically tailored for marine fuel applications. This service ensures that methanol used as a marine fuel meets the highest standards of quality, safety, and performance.
Sustainable Methanol and ASTM D6866 Biogenic Content Testing
Sustainable methanol contains “modern” carbon originating from biogenic or atmospheric carbon, exhibiting high radiocarbon isotope (C14) content. In contrast, fossil methanol, produced from natural gas, is free from C14 due to radioactive decay since the carboniferous period.
This distinction makes it possible to identify sustainable methanol produced from biomass or direct air carbon capture quantitatively, or to estimate the renewable methanol content from a mixed supply stream.
To verify the biogenic content of methanol, CCIC Singapore utilizes ASTM D6866, a standardized method for determining the renewable (biogenic) content of materials. This test is critical for ensuring the sustainability of methanol used as a marine fuel and supporting compliance with environmental regulations and green shipping initiatives.
