Recognising that spills can happen, Ipieca developed spill response fact sheets for alternative fuels and energy products. The fact sheets allow spill responders to quickly find information on the physicochemical properties of the fuel or product, appropriate response and clean up options, and potential impacts on responder health, the environment and marine life.
The first suite of five includes a fact sheet covering oil characterisation, which gives basic information to support the other fact sheets on:
- Biomass-based diesel fuels
- Very low and ultra low sulphur fuel oils
- Condensates
- Non-floating oils
These quick reference tools are the first of a broader series of fact sheets Ipieca is developing. Future fact sheets will cover alternative fuels including ammonia, methanol and ethanol.
