Bunkering, infrastructure, storage, and processing of LNG
EMISSIONS REDUCTION To comply with future environmental regulations, improvements of ships’ emissions are urgently required. LNG as a ship’s fuel will reduce NOx to clearly below Tier III level, SOx and particulate matters to about zero and CO2 by 20 to 30% without any treatment of combustion gases. Main challenges of the usage of LNG, however, include the safe storage and processing of the liquefied gas as well as the bunker infrastructure, procedure and equipment.
