LNG as a fuel
With health, safety and environment regulations getting stricter, companies are forced to apply on-board exhaust gas cleaning systems or switch to low sulfur fuel and biofuel. LNG is an inexpensive and environmentally friendly option providing emission reduction at least equivalent to those achieved by other methods. It is widespread: millions of tonnes of LNG are transported across the world by roads, railways, and vessels every year.
Although nowadays LNG shares in the world gas market generally account only for one third, some companies are already looking to increase this. For example, Sembcorp Marine, American Bureau of Shipping, and A*STAR’s Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) advance the adoption of LNG as fuel, and Skangas already supplies fuel for Gothia Tanker Alliance’s LNG-powered vessels. At the same time, Golar LNG is investing in Avenir LNG for future opportunities in the small scale LNG market.
