EC’s Union Database plan could limit biofuel availability to ships

The European Union is setting up a Union Database (UDB) of biofuels. The database aims to ensure the traceability of liquid and gaseous biofuels that are eligible for being counted towards the share of renewable energy in the transportation sector in any EU member state. One aspect of the European Commission’s plans for the UDB is causing “deep concerns” to both the Methanol Institute (MI) and SEA-LNG, key representatives of the methanol and liquefied natural gas (LNG) industries respectively,,

Hapag-Lloyd in largest yet ship-to-ship bio-LNG bunkering

Titan Clean Fuels has successfully bunkered the Hapag-Lloyd containership Brussels Express with 2,200 tonnes of bio-LNG containership. Believed to be the largest yet ship-to-ship bioLNG bunkering of the fuel, the operation marked Hapag-Lloyd’s entry into using the fuel.

According to the Sea-LNG coalition, the use of bio-LNG as a marine fuel can reduce GHG emissions by up to 80% compared to marine diesel on a full well-to-wake basis. Derived from biomethane produced from sustainable biomass,...

  • Physical supplier Eagle LNG said that the port authority had facilitated the move of dozens of specialty LNG storage tanks.
  • Robertson added that the company was also working towards the introduction of “new lower greenhouse gas emission solutions such as bio-LNG into the fueling mix”.
  • Half of the tanks will be used to temporarily increase storage at the company’s LNG bunker facility near the Talleyrand marine terminal.

More space to store liquified natural gas...

Can Bio-LNG Reduce Carbon Emissions?

In the decades to come, bio-LNG, when used as a drop-in fuel with fossil LNG, can meet a sizable portion of shipping’s energy needs while cutting GHG emissions as reported by Riviera.

Decarbonization analysis

According to a recent study, bio LNG might greatly speed up the decarbonization of shipping if it were used as a drop-in fuel and combined with its fossil-based cousin in 2030 and 2050.

The findings in the study, The role of bioLNG in shipping industry decarbonisation”, which are based on...
