LNG as Ship Fuel White Paper
Shipping is a significant contributor to global air pollution and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Switching from conventional petroleum-based ship fuels to natural gas has been proposed as a means to economically reduce emissions. Recent developments in engine and liquefied natural gas (LNG) tank technology, particularly large low-speed gas engines, mean that all classes of vessel, including large ocean-going vessels (OGVs), can now be fuelled with natural gas. This project examines the emissions associated with natural gas as a fuel in shipping.
