Pilot program for sustainable marine fuels in recreational boating begins in Florida Panhandle
On the heels of new research investigating a variety of technologies to further reduce the 0.1% of global carbon emissions from recreational boating, the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) announced recently a first-ever pilot program allowing for the use of sustainable marine fuels. The pilot program, taking place at St. Andrews Marina in Panama City, makes new high-performance, 93-octane, ethanol-free premium gasoline available to boaters for the first time at a local marina.
St. Andrews Marina is the first local marina to receive sustainable marine fuels for its recreational boaters. If successful, the pilot program is likely to expand to marinas across the Panhandle, Florida and the rest of the country.
