Quadrise to advance luxury yacht biofuel venture to sea trials.

Quadrise PLC (AIM:QED) has announced an extension of a joint development agreement (JDA), with Vertoro BV, for its bioMSAR Zero sustainable marine fuel.

The proposed sea trial is part of a collaboration aimed at creating a sustainable fuel solution for luxury yachts.

Together, Quadrise and Vertoro are focused on accelerating sea trials for bioMSAR Zero.

The extension follows a pilot scale trial that used a bioMSAR formulation containing up to 40% of Vertoro’s crude sugar oil.

It will now see a prototype motor yacht constructed to act as a platform to test the innovative fuel.

Jason Miles, chief executive, said in a statement:

While we continue to focus on moving our current projects towards revenues, it is also important that we progress our efforts towards longer-term zero emissions solutions.

“Quadrise is pleased, therefore, to extend its JDA with Vertoro to accelerate the development of bioMSAR Zero on board a Focus Motor Yacht.

“This innovative approach together with a leading yacht builder will help deliver and advance our joint net-zero ambitions for the future.”

Michael Boot, Vertoro co-chief executive, meanwhile added:

Vertoro is excited to extend our collaboration with Quadrise to meet the needs of an ever-growing environmentally-conscious yachting community. 

“Our innovative Focus Motor Yacht will be a living laboratory and validation unit to accelerate access to lower-cost marine biofuels for luxury yachts, providing a real showcase for the commercial shipping and yachting industry.

“More exciting news is expected in the coming year!”
