MAN Engines has approved all marine engines from the current product range for use with renewable diesel fuel in line with the standard EN15940 in Europe and the US-American specification ASTM D975 of the American Society for Testing and Materials with immediate effect. This will allow customers to replace conventional petroleum-based diesel fuel with "green" or renewable diesel fuel. Renewable diesel fuel is obtained from waste and residues of animal and plant origin, cellulosic biomass such as crop residues, but also hydrotreated vegetable oils.Specifically approved for renewable diesel fuel are the MAN D2862, D2868 and D2676 series with 12, 8 and 6 cylinders, which are used in yachts and sport fishing boats as well as work boats. This includes the full MAN marine engine performance range from 200 to 2,000 HP (147 to 1,471 kW). They are operated in line with the emission guidelines issued by the US Environmental Protection Agency, the International Maritime Organization or the European Union
