2021 was a year of dramatic progress and growth for LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) as a marine fuel and its pathway to decarbonisation. Orders for LNG-fuelled vessels hit record levels while the bunkering infrastructure continued to expand at pace. There was significant progress on increasing production of...
Renewable synthetic LNG, chemically identical to fossil LNG, but carbon-neutral, has made big advances in recent months. The drop-in versatility of renewable synthetic LNG and its biogenic relation, bioLNG, vindicates the continued pursuit of their commercialisation, as the order book for LNG powered ships expands. The...
SEA-LNG warns that barring fuels for industry decarbonisation strategy will hamper drive towards net-zero. The shipping industry, its regulators, and its supporters need to focus on reducing emissions, without prejudging the technology needed to achieve that. The rapidly growing order book for LNG-fuelled vessels illustrates that...
2021 has been a banner year for new LNG dual-fuel vessel construction contracts as reported by DNV and others. This trend is expected to continue. Major deep-sea sectors of the maritime industry are embracing LNG in efforts to reduce both local and global emissions, as...
Bio-LNG provides competitive advantage, providing favourable finance longer through greater emissions reductions Analysis from SEA-LNG, the coalition for accelerating LNG as a marine fuel, has determined that for every 10% of bio-LNG dropped in and blended with LNG as a marine fuel, a vessel can achieve...
New analysis from SEA-LNG demonstrates how ship assets opting for LNG can benefit for up to eight years of emissions compliance for preferable asset financing versus conventional vessel fuels like HSFO, VLSFO, and MGO. LNG fuel delivers up to 28% lower CO2 profile from tank to...
probunkers supports SEA-LNG report regarding LNG as fuel viability: "Waiting for a “utopian solution” risks locking the maritime industry into the highly polluting conventional oil-based marine fuels for years, if not decades, to come. Today, and for the foreseeable future, LNG is the only viable fuel for deep-sea...
Liquefied Bio Methane and Liquefied Synthetic Methane have the potential to be available, scalable, with costs similar to other low and zero carbon marine fuels SEA-LNG, the multi-sector industry coalition, has released the latest in its series of independently conducted reports. The CE Delft study...
SEA-LNG announced the results of its latest independent investment study, which highlights the commercial benefits of LNG as a marine fuel for a newbuild 210K DWT Ore Carrier sailing from Australia to China. The study illustrates strong returns on investment for LNG as a marine fuel on...
