The CTL has spent three years developing this project, conducting rigorous testing on bioLNG-powered trucks to assess their performance on energy efficiency, economics, environmental impact, and operational feasibility. The collected data underpins the viability of integrating bioLNG into mainstream heavy-duty transport, enabling conditions that facilitate market scaling. As a result, Cermaq and GLA commit to achieving 100% carbon-neutral logistics operations from 2026 onward.
This alliance adheres to Chile’s broader environmental objectives by substituting traditional diesel fuels with renewable alternatives derived from organic waste, as a progressive step toward eventual electromobility adoption for freight transport. The project also aligns with industry demand for cleaner, cost-effective energy solutions and reduces greenhouse gas emissions linked to supply chain operations in the salmon sector, a key export for Chile.
The collaboration received official agreements signed at Cermaq’s Quemchi facilities in Chiloé, with CTL experts Rolando Campos and Helmuth Raddatz emphasizing evidence-based strategic decisions supported by real operational data. Industry leaders acknowledge the logistical complexity and innovation the trip represents, heralding it as a precedent for future sustainable initiatives in Latin American freight and energy markets.
