Yamaha Marine Partners For Biofuel Testing

The Yamaha Marine U.S. Business Unit announced a collaborative initiative for biofuel testing to reduce CO2 emissions while maintaining boat range and performance. 

Sustainable Marine Fuels are drop‐in fuels that can remain compatible with all existing recreational boats, requiring no changes to the boat fuel system or engine.

“Innovation is the driving force behind all of the initiatives currently underway at Yamaha,” said Ben Speciale, President, Yamaha U.S. Marine Business Unit in a statement. “From collaborative biofuel testing with NMMA® to the expansion of our Marine Innovation Center and introduction of new marine products, Yamaha continues to deliver the experiences customers want on the water, while simultaneously protecting the environment that creates those experiences.”

The Yamaha U.S. Marine Business Unit, based in Kennesaw, Ga., markets and sells marine outboard motors ranging in size from 2.5 to 450 horsepower.
