SEA-LNG released a new report showing that LNG is no longer a niche option but a marine fuel of the future, says an article published in Offshore Energy.
LNG-Fuelled shipping
2020 was a year of positive developments for LNG-fuelled shipping. It saw a record number of ships using and ports supplying LNG.
The fundamental binary choice facing newbuilds in 2021 is a choice between using LNG now or retrofitting later, as stressed by Peter Keller, chairman of SEA-LNG.
Benefits of LNG
LNG enables ships to reduce carbon emissions now instead of waiting for technologies to develop in the future.
Bio-LNG to carbon neutrality
SEA-LNG regards bio-LNG as a “prime pathway to carbon neutrality”. Its gradual introduction alongside synthetic LNG will incrementally decarbonise shipping towards the IMO’s 2050 targets.
Going LNG represents a positive pathway to carbon neutrality in marine fuels. SEA-LNG will continue its commercially focused studies to provide intelligence regarding the investment case for LNG as a marine fuel for shipowners, shipyards, ports, and wider stakeholders.
