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

Green Car Congress

Additionally, LNG engines are tuned to either emit low nitrogen oxide (NO x ) emissions—at the cost of higher methane emissions in some cases—or to incorporate NO x reduction technologies such as exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) or selective catalytic reduction (SCR). As of November 2019, VLSFO was nearly as expensive as MGO.
