LNG as fuel eliminates SO x emissions, significantly reduces NO x and particulate matter, and also reduces GHG emissions—although not to the levels that would be required for addressing climate change. For example, shifting from AC to on board DC grids would allow engines to operate at variable speeds, helping to reduce energy losses.
