What is reefer fuel?

Reefer fuel, also known as reefer gas or refrigerated fuel, is a type of liquefied natural gas (LNG) used to power refrigeration units on cargo ships, trucks, and other vehicles that transport perishable goods. The fuel is specifically designed to maintain a stable temperature inside refrigerated units to protect the quality and freshness of the perishable cargo.

Reefer fuel is stored and transported in cryogenic tanks, where it remains in a liquid state at extremely low temperatures. It is then vaporized and used as a clean and efficient fuel source for refrigeration units. Reefer fuel is considered to be a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional diesel fuel, as it produces fewer emissions and pollutants when burned.

Using reefer fuel can help reduce carbon emissions and lower the overall environmental impact of transporting perishable goods. It is also a cost-effective option for companies looking to improve their sustainability practices and comply with regulations on emissions and air quality.
