ICCT life-cycle analysis finds no climate benefit in using LNG as marine fuel

Green Car Congress

The results of a new analysis by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) show that, when combined with a trend toward higher methane leakage and combustion slip, there is no climate benefit from using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel—regardless of the engine technology. First, it contains very little sulfur.

Wärtsilä hybrid propulsion system with methanol engine to power four SAL heavy lift vessels; wind farm installations

Green Car Congress

This will therefore make these ships among the first to be prepared to operate on methanol, a clean burning sulfur-free alternative to conventional fossil-based marine fuels. The Energy Storage system will be based on Lithium-Titanium-Oxide (LTO) batteries, which can handle higher amounts of deep cycles than normal Lithium-ion based systems.
