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.

MHI completes development of new-generation LNG carrier; reductions in size and weight, with more capacity and 20% lower fuel consumption than conventional ships

Green Car Congress

(MHI) has completed development of a new-generation liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier marking an evolutionary advance from Moss-type LNG carriers which use independent spherical storage tanks to transport NG. The EXTREM combines these advantages of Moss-type carriers with energy-saving features and higher LNG cargo transport capacity.

GL presents Approval in Principle to new TECHNOLOG LNG container vessel design

Green Car Congress

At GL we see the development of LNG as a fuel for shipping as a key part of the industry’s drive to curb costs, reduce emissions, and remain the world’s most efficient means of transporting goods. Exhaust gas boilers and waste heat recovery equipment are also included in the design. The STREAM 4200 LNG’s 32.25-meter
