LNG is significantly cleaner than other fossil fuels
The maritime industry needs to improve its carbon footprints – especially its emissions to air. In an ideal world all vessels and carriers would operate on carbon-free fuels from tomorrow, but this is not possible by a long stretch.
While we need to undertake this transition, replacing fuel oil altogether, LNG is for the time being among the best alternatives fuels for the maritime industry. LNG is a marine fuel in increasing demand. By replacing traditional fuel with LNG, CO2 emissions are reduced by up to 30%. Simultaneously, most of the harmful NOx and SOx particles are suppressed and particle emissions will be reduced.
Switching to LNG provides significant advantages, by meeting increasing regulatory requirements, offering enhanced competitiveness, and last but not least reduction of CO2-emissions and other harmful pollutants.
