The Michigan Advanced Biofuels Coalition (MiABC) and Green Marine have partnered to promote adoption of sustainable biofuels for improved air quality and reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Michigan and across the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway.

“With 3,224 miles of shoreline – second only to Alaska – our state is a major hub for shipping on the Great Lakes,” says Hanna Campbell, MSC market development director and managing director of MiABC. “Partnering with Green Marine will be a great asset to our efforts to reduce the environmental impact of shipping by encouraging greater use of biofuels in commercial vessels.”

MiABC was founded in 2022 by Michigan Soybean Committee (MSC) and the Michigan Soybean Association to increase understanding and adoption of biodiesel and other advanced biofuels produced from renewable resources such as soybean oil.

Green Marine is the leading environmental certification program for the marine sector, with offices in Seattle, Washington, and in the Canadian cities of Quebec City, Quebec, and St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador.
