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. —Pavlenko et al.

Tenneco exploring synthetic fuels for climate-neutral mobility; NAMOSYN project

Green Car Congress

Synthetic fuels for passenger vehicles, commercial trucks or even marine applications could play an important role in achieving a near-zero emissions mobility, by using renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, to create a closed CO 2 cycle when viewed from a holistic “well-to-wheel” perspective.

CMA CGM creates US$1.5B fund to accelerate energy transition in shipping and logistics

Green Car Congress

The CMA CGM Group has already begun to respond to climate change by using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a transitional maritime fuel. It is committed to enabling these facilities to generate enough carbon-free electricity (wind, solar, biomass-fueled, hydrogen-fueled) to become energy self-sufficient.
