Bunker Fuel Market

Overview:

Bunker fuel is the fuel used on ocean-going ships to power their engines. The name comes from the area of a ship where the fuel is stored, called a bunker. Bunker fuel is often high-viscosity oil and must be heated to a lower, 'burnable' temperature before it can be pumped into the ship's engine to be burned as fuel. It is usually a residual product from the refinery processes after the lighter diesel and distillate fractions are removed. Other alternatives to bunker fuel include Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), biomethane, and hydrogen. However, these fuels are currently too expensive to be competitive with high sulphur bunker fuels. They require additional infrastructure which would increase costs and make them suitable only for certain routes or specific ships such as ferries or cruise ships.

Market Dynamics:

Rising product launches are estimated to augment growth of the global bunker fuel market during the forecast period. For instance, a new “ECO Bunkers B30” biofuel was launched by PRIO, in February 2023. This newly launched biofuel is 30% blend of waste feedstock that was produced at their biodiesel plant. Moreover, rising fuel reduction initiatives and increasing concerns regarding carbon footprint are anticipated to restrain growth of the global bunker fuel market during the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19:

The pandemic was first reported in China. In 2020, it was declared as a global public health emergency by the WHO. The pandemic also hampered the growth of several sectors across the globe. Trade was severely hampered due to the pandemic. Many nations imposed strict restrictions so as to prevent transmission of the virus. This led to shutting down of manufacturing units globally. Export and import activities were also banned owing to strict nationwide lockdowns in many countries. Travel bans were impose din many nations. This had a negative impact on the growth of global bunker fuel market. However, the market is estimated to witness growth as several restrictions have been resumed in the post-pandemic era.

Key Takeaways:

The global bunker fuel market is expected to witness significant growth, exhibiting CAGR of 5.4 % over the forecast period, due to increasing mergers among key players. For instance, KPI Bridge Oil and OceanConnect Marine, completed their merger in August 2020. This merger will help in solidifying their position in the market.

Asia-Pacific is anticipated to witness high growth in the global bunker fuel market during the forecast period, due to growing export of products and rising development of automotive industry.

Key players operating in the global bunker fuel market are Bright Oil and Sinopec, Gazpromneft Marine Bunker LLC, BP PLC, ExxonMobil Corporation, China Marine Bunker, Chemoil, Exxon Mobil, Bunker Holding, BP, and Bright Oil and Sinopec.

Bispecific Antibodies Are Used As Therapeutic Drugs While Treating Viral Infections, Oncology, And Auto-Immune Diseases

Image
  Bispecific Antibodies Bispecific antibodies are produced through cell fusion or recombinant DNA technologies. Bispecific antibodies are much more specific than monoclonal antibodies. Their applications in tumor immunotherapy are nearly limitless. As of today, seven bispecific antibodies have been approved by the FDA and EMA and over one hundred are in preclinical testing. Bispecific antibodies were initially developed using the quadroma technology. They contain two distinct antigen-binding arms, which enable them to bind to the target antigen while also activating an effector cell, which kills tumor cells. The primary antigen on the surface of the effector cell is called CD3, which is a popular target of immune cells. According to Coherent Market insights the Bispecific Antibodies Market Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028. Many of these multi specific antibody formats have been developed over the past 30 years. These categories of a

  Organic Milk Organic Milk is milk made from livestock raised using organic farming practices. The use of the term "organic" is regulated by food authorities in most jurisdictions. Organic cows are not allowed to be given hormones, which stimulate milk production. Organic feed also must be grown without the use of synthetic pesticides. Organic cows must get a certain percentage of their diet from grazing, although most organic dairies supplement the grass with grain. However, organic grazing cows produce less milk than cows that eat a grain-based diet. Buying organic milk may be a better investment for your health. According to Coherent Market Insights the Organic Milk Market Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028. The standards for organic milk are stringent. To meet the organic standard, a dairy farm cannot use any form of animal growth hormones or antibiotics. Organic cows must spend at least 30% of their lives on pasture. C
