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.

Lux’s observation comes shortly after the Government of Canada announced it will develop a similar low-carbon clean fuel standard requiring reductions in the carbon footprint of the fuels supplied in Canada, based on lifecycle analysis. Not all countries are positioned to support a biofuels industry as it is designed today.
