The Construction Industry Sees Real Decarbonisation as Shipping Struggles to Keep Up

 

Fuelre4m’s Re4mx Solution Revolutionises the Construction Industry

 

    Fuelre4m’s Re4mx fuel-conditioning technology has revolutionised the construction industry, with Holcim UK announcing the national rollout of the solution across more than 200 sites, following three years of real-world testing. The partnership demonstrates the potential of Re4mx technology to deliver tangible results without making any significant changes to infrastructure or operations. Key Benefits of Re4mx:

    

            

  • Up to 20% reduction in fuel consumption
  •         

  • Up to 23% fewer emissions from fuel burned
  •         

  • No engine modifications or operational disruption required
  •     

 

Shipping Lags Behind But Follows Suit

 

    Bontrup Logistics, a specialist in bulk logistics and maritime transportation, has selected Fuelre4m’s high-efficiency fuel reforming technology to power its bulk carrier, Bontrup Pearl, as part of a major climate resilience initiative in the Pacific. This follows a three-month trial of the technology on board the company’s Yeoman Bridge bulk carrier. A Successful Trial Shows the Power of Re4mx

 

    According to Edern Lalanne, Holcim UK Supply Chain Director, “This agreement is the result of meticulous testing, collaboration, and operational learning. We’ve seen consistent results with Re4mx across a wide range of use cases, and it aligns directly with our commitment to sustainable innovation and operational excellence.”

    Re4mx works by enhancing the combustion efficiency of existing fuels, delivering cleaner burns, lower emissions, and reduced fuel use without changing vessel infrastructure. A New Benchmark for Decarbonisation in the Maritime Sector

 

    The latest move by Holcim UK sets a new benchmark for what practical, measurable decarbonisation looks like when fully embraced. The construction industry’s adoption of Re4mx highlights that shipping can no longer afford to view land-based solutions as irrelevant. With environmental regulations tightening and fuel efficiency becoming a commercial imperative, shipping must prioritize decarbonisation and consider alternative technologies that have already shown promise in other industries. Q&A with Fuelre4m and Holcim

 

    Edern Lalanne, Holcim UK Supply Chain Director:

    blockquote> “This agreement is the result of meticulous testing, collaboration, and operational learning. We’ve seen consistent results with Re4mx across a wide range of use cases, and it aligns directly with our commitment to sustainable innovation and operational excellence. This is about measurable outcomes, not promises, and Fuelre4m has delivered both the data and the support to back it up. This is part of our mission to make sustainable construction a reality and continues our journey to achieve net-zero by 2050.”

    Rob Mortimer, CEO of Fuelre4m:

    blockquote> “We’ve always believed in practical decarbonisation, not tomorrow, not theoretical, but right now. Holcim’s decision to roll out Re4mx at scale shows how serious industry players can move quickly when the data supports the decision. For shipping, the pathway is already there and it’s operational.”

 

How Re4mx Works and its Benefits

 

    Fuelre4m’s Re4mx solution is designed as a fully integrated system that fits seamlessly into existing operations. The technology is delivered through sealed containers, with a small dose added directly to fuel on board each vessel. Emissions performance is tracked via a digital dashboard, allowing operators to monitor reductions in fuel consumption and emissions in real time. This model is already in place across maritime operations globally, with established deployment in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. Global Significance of Re4mx and Fuelre4m’s Role

 

    The rollout of Re4mx at scale by Holcim UK signals a significant moment for Fuelre4m, further solidifying the company’s reputation as a leader in decarbonisation technology. The partnership between Fuelre4m and Holcim also highlights the growing importance of supply chain collaboration and industry-wide solutions. Conclusion

 

    The adoption of Re4mx technology in the construction industry marks a significant step towards practical, measurable decarbonisation. As the maritime sector continues to strive for sustainability and reduces its carbon footprint, industry players must consider alternative solutions like Re4mx that have already shown promise in other industries. The benefits of Re4mx are clear: reduced fuel consumption, lower emissions, and no disruption to operations. As the industry pushes forward with a focus on sustainability, it’s essential to identify and adopt solutions like Re4mx that can help drive meaningful change.
