LNG: The Sustainable Alternative to Diesel With the goal of reducing CO₂ emissions, many alternatives to the standard diesel engine are being developed today. In this article, we explain what LNG is and the benefits of switching to an LNG-powered truck. https://basworld.info/lng

With the recent diesel subsidy removal in Malaysia, it is time for long distance haulage companies in Malaysia to consider LNG fueled lorry. Estimated LNG price is only around RM2.10 per litre vs RM3.35 for diesel. You get around 50% higher mileage for LNG as well vs diesel mileage. 1 out 3 new long haul trucks sold in China now is LNG fueled. China as always know where to find good value. Go further and use #BioLNG you can address your environmental concerns as well. #BioLNG is 100% green. Your EV is not necessarily using green electricity!! BAC Renewable Energy Sdn Bhd is on its way to become the premier developer and supplier of #BioLNG in Malaysia and Singapore for the road transportation sector ( and maritime). We can provide dedicated #BioLNG storage and filling system solution at your truck depot. #biofuel #BioLNG

Looking for a sustainable and efficient solution for long-distance travel? Let’s talk about the amazing benefits of LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) vehicle cylinders! 1️⃣ Environment Protection: By switching to LNG, you’re contributing to a greener and healthier environment, reducing your carbon footprint, and supporting the fight against climate change. 🌍💚 2️⃣ Ideal for Long-Distance Use: LNG vehicle cylinders are perfect for long hauls. 🚚🏞️ 3️⃣ Excellent Insulation and After-Services: One of the standout features of LNG cylinders is their exceptional insulation performance. Additionally, top-notch after-services mean you can rely on ongoing support and maintenance. 🛠️❄️ https://lnkd.in/gr6BY2MS #LNG #Sustainability #EcoFriendly #GreenEnergy #LNGVehicleCylinder #LiquefiedNaturalGas

The search for a cleaner choice of fuel for maritime transportation continues and is constantly becoming more complex. Currently, the hottest topic in this regard is decarbonisation and meeting related goals. Despite being the most discussed topic, the decarbonisation goals of the maritime industry are still off by quite a margin. For instance, with the current momentum, it is still 5% off the 2030 goals. But this is not the topic we should be arguing today; instead, we should be discussing whether decarbonisation should be the main goal for the maritime industry. According to the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), LNG-fueled vessels emit 25% less carbon dioxide than conventional marine fuels in producing the same amount of propulsion power. Sounds good at first, but here is the catch: LNG is mostly made of methane, which is a far more potent greenhouse gas (GHG) than CO2. In fact, it traps 86 times more heat in the atmosphere over a 20-year cycle. Methane slip is an event where methane, in gas form, leaks and escapes into the atmosphere. There are various ways this leakage can occur, including upstream emissions from leakage during the extraction phase and transportation, as well as downstream emissions from combustion and unburned methane. Methane slip, as a measurement, is the proportion of LNG fuel that escapes unburned from the engine. In real-world measurements, methane slip averages 6.4%, based on data from 18 vessels using the most common type of LNG-fueled marine engine (LPDF 4-stroke). This is around double the size of what EU regulations assume (3.1%) and the International Maritime Organization's estimation (3.5%). Some arguments suggest that the most modern LNG-fueled engines emit even less than the estimations of IMO and EU regulations, but this is not the case for low engine loads (25% or less); in that case, 4 to 7% methane slip is to be expected. In conclusion, while LNG offers some reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, the overall impact on greenhouse gas emissions is more complex due to methane slip. This complexity highlights the need for a balanced and comprehensive approach to fuel choices and decarbonization strategies in the maritime industry.

I thought these items in EKT Interactive's recent newsletter were really interesting: "The Alette Maersk was the first container vessel powered by low-carbon methanol fuel to cross the Pacific Ocean - a milestone in the shipping industry's effort to reduce its climate impact. But when the 1,148-foot (350-meter) vessel arrived at the Port of Los Angeles from China last week, there was nowhere in the U.S. to buy more of the green fuel, forcing it to rely heavily on petroleum-based maritime fuel for the return trip." https://lnkd.in/g7jtTYsQ - Reuters "Coal-fired generation remains critical to ensuring the reliability of electricity supplies - especially in the winter, when hydro and solar output is much lower and the system depends far more heavily on fossil energy." https://lnkd.in/gxXbEXh5 - Reuters

Decarbonizing the maritime sector is crucial for meeting global climate goals, as per the International Maritime Organization (IMO)'s target of net-zero emissions by 2050. Strategies include enhancing operational efficiency, upgrading technology and shifting to low-carbon and renewable fuels. The use of liquefied natural gas (LNG), methanol and ammonia are facilitating this shift, but how quickly sustainable fuel usage can grow depends on further regulations and incentives to reduce costs and increase adoption.

This image speaks volumes. The maritime industry contributes about 3.1% (estimated to escalate to about 150–250% by the year 2050) of global carbon emissions due to the burning of about 300 million metric tonnes of heavy fuel oil (HFO) used for the running of ships' yearly operations. Additionally, 25–29% of the carbon emitted is absorbed by the ocean, increasing the acidity of the oceans and warming them up. The 2023 Net-Zero carbon emission initiative by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is crucial to reducing the carbon footprint of the maritime industry. To make this happen, shipping companies must continue to explore other eco-friendly and renewable sources of energy like ammonia, LNG, solar energy, and wind energy. We must save our oceans to save our planet. #MaritimeIndustry #CarbonEmissions #ClimateChange #NetZero #SustainableShipping #IMONetZero #RenewableEnergy #SaveOurOceans #EcoFriendly #GreenShipping #ClimateAction #OceanConservation #CarbonFootprint #SustainableFuture #EnvironmentalImpact #climatejustice #greenenergy

LNG has been called a ‘bridge,’ but when does the 'bridge' become the 'road'? The on-the-ground reality is that drivers such as IMO 2020 (limiting sulfur in fuel to 0.5 percent mass) and the U.S. being an Emission Control Area (more stringent at 0.1 percent) require significant investment in the infrastructure needed to meet these emissions targets and regulations. In our case, GLBP will significantly reduce emissions in Galveston Bay and provide commercial and cruise ships with a reliable source of LNG bunkering. GLBP will also strengthen America's maritime resiliency, which is needed now more than ever.
